The History Of Forks[1]
In 1608 an Englishman, Thomas Coryate by name, was in Italy. He liked the country and wrote down everything which he found interesting. But there was one thing, which he thought more interesting than any others. On one of the pages Thomas wrote: «When the Italians eat meat they use little forks. They do not eat with hands because, they say, people do not always have clean hands.»
Before Thomas Coryate went to England, he bought a few forks. When he got home, Thomas Coryate gave a dinner party to show the forks to his friends. When the servants put the meat on the table, he took out a fork and began to eat like the Italians.
Everybody looked at him. When he told his friends what it was, they all wanted to take a good look at the strange thing. All his friends said that the Italians were very strange, because the fork was very inconvenient.
But Thomas Coryate didn’t agree with them. He said it was not nice to eat meat with the fingers, because people didn’t always have clean hands.
Everybody was angry with this. Did Mr. Coryate think that people in England didn’t always have clean hands? And weren’t the ten fingers we had enough for us?
Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy to use the fork. But the first piece of meat he took, with the fork fell to the table. His friends began to laugh and he had to take the fork away.
Fifty years passed before people in England began to use forks. Now it is difficult to imagine a lot of common things we use every day have been innovations. There are some things that we take for granted todays, like silk, porcelain, the kite and even the umbrella. The Chinese discovered gunpowder and it had a huge influence on the whole world.
