EATING WITH A FORK
| The fork as an eating utensil was introduced in the Middle East before the year 1000. First introduced to Europe in the 10th century by the wife of Emperor Otto II, the table fork had, by the 11th century made its way to Italy. The fork’s arrival in northern Europe was more difficult. For many years it was viewed as an unmanly Italian affectation. The Roman Catholic Church disapproved of its use: “God in his wisdom has provided man with natural forks- his fingers. Therefore it is an insult to Him to substitute artificial metallic forks for them when eating.” |
