That's pretty interesting. I wonder what became of that girlfriend?... or if she inspired any of Al's other songs....lol

That's cool Louise! We use both of those in the US. Except the UK spatula here is mostly used for mixing.

We would NEVER call this a spatula though... This is a fish-slice

Don't they have Spongebob in the UK? I mean, he uses an American spatula for flipping patties, and his friends are fish.

When I took a foods class in high school, we called the bottom image a pancake-turner. Spatulas are narrow like the image on top.

yeah we use it for flipping stuff too. I cant recall ever using a fish-slice actually for fish, (I cant afford to buy fish!) but thats just the name of the tool anyway

That was a pretty cool article. Thanks for posting it, Louise.

All I can say is, I hope not... unless her name was Amy, of course.

Today, for the first time in my entire life, I broke a spatula.
Living alone, and only living away from my parents' house for a few years, this is the first time that has ever happened to me. This was by far my favorite of the two spatulas I own.

Now, more than ever, I wish Spatula City was a real place.
