A whelk is a sea snail. A Cockney delicacy ... as is jellied eels.

Spatulas = rubbish

Whelks = Life affirming little lads who don't complain, clear up after themselves and are generally tolerant of most things including those who eat hydrated dried soup.

No contest so shut up.

of course! Whelk was another one of those mudcat magical words some months back. We had whelk wars, etc.

Could I cook a whelk with a spatula?

There, maintaining my customary diplomatic post. ... :)

Ah but Oaklet, you cannot spank bottoms with a whelk as you can with spatula's, therefore I would rather be a spatula than a whelk

There is nothing like a whelk
Up to an including an elk
Nothing in the whelk
that is anything like a whelk

Nothing rhymes with a whelk
Except catafelque

Just been on Ebay, :-

3 hits for whelks,
40 hits for spatulas!

What can we read into this? are spatulas not selling, is the market depressed? Are whelks selling at a high rate as soon as they hit Ebay?
I will study this over the next month and report back.

Whelk shells can make lovely adornments to Spatula handles. This makes your own personal Spatula much easier to recognise at conventions.

Perhaps we should all carry spatulas at festivals!
