Fork tales

The history of the fork: When we started using forks and how their design changed over time. - Slate Magazine

A rather interesting short history of the fork here, telling me lots of things I never knew before.

(There were seen as very disgustingly feminine and unmanly for some time, apparently.)

In order to save space, we eat all our meals with a pitchfork. We use it to do the gardening as well. After washing it, of course.
