“SPOTTLES” FOR COOKING
Kitchen Craze In Australia
“The Press’* Special Service WELLINGTON,'Feb. 7. A Scotsman, a demolished house and Graham Kerr's programmes on television have started a craze in Australia — for “spotties,” wooden implements which, according to the cook, are indispensable in the kitchen. “Spottie is my name for it, though it is originally Scottish and the right pronounciation is spurtie,” Mr Kerr explained before he left for Australia. “It’s a marvellous thing—you can do so much with it. It is specially curved on one side to get into the bottom of rounded saucepans, you can beat with it, scrape with it and smooth icing with it. “Everyone in Australia wants one,” he said. Mr Kerr’s supply of spotties comes from a Scotsman living in Kaitaia, who makes them from the kauri of his house which was recently demolished. “He insists that they are spurties but to me they are spotties,” said Mr Kerr.
