The bright red rubbery utensil meant for scraping cake mix and gravy out of bowls. What is that? This really is my kitchenware. I’ll put it whatever side you say.

    The metal things beneath it are spatulas. The red doohickey is a rubber scraper.

    If you wouldn’t use it to flip a pancake, it’s not a spatula.

        Must be. I’d call them an egg slice or fish slice like yourself. Spatula to me is silicone. Western Europe.

      Cooking shows call those thin metal things “turners”. I’ve always called them spatulas.

      Etymology Online says spatula comes from Latin for “long flat blade”.
