Mark Baldwin, Surry Maine

I never heard of a porridge stick until I read Haldor Laxness’ Independent People. In that Nobel Prize novel from Iceland the crofter’s porridge stick was long enough to lean on the wall and a boy thought it was alive. The Scots have called it a spurtle for over six hundred years. They knew that the tapered round shape was best for stirring a pot of almost anything partly because the small end can wipe around a pot’s inside corners. Lest modern Scots forget their history (fat chance) the annual World Porridge Making Championship awards the Golden Spurtle to the year’s best maker of traditional porridge.
