Yeah, I think the terms are interchangeable, but when I worked in a bakery we called it a bench knife because we used it to cut dough as well as scrape the wooden countertop.
I call mine a scraper, i think. Probably a dough scraper. I mostly use it to scrape the counter clean after making pastry. But i might also use it to cut dough.
Maybe i have one and use it regularly, and don’t really have a name for it.
When we do food kitchen we cook for about 220 people, in these giant rectangular pots. Sometimes things burn, and the kitchen has one of those large spatulas, and it’s perfect for scraping the shit out of that. I’m not sure what the use is otherwise. Paul Bunyan flapjacks?
But they’ve all got flat blades for flipping or at least lifting things, as opposed to a flexible rubber blade for scraping things. That’s what I consider to be the main distinction.
My third option for sitting on public toilets is to make sure I evac somewhere which isn’t public (if on the road that means my hotel room, which is quasi-public but presumed to have been disinfected by the maid). I think I’ve had to sit down for a crap in a 100% public place maybe once in 25 years now.
Ah. I misunderstood you. That was the seventh choice, not the third, and I thought you were explaining an “other” vote; though come to think of it that wasn’t a third choice in that poll either.
