[post_page_title]Forks were considered an insult to the Lord[/post_page_title]
Forks first made their way through the famed Silk Road to Venice, Italy, and were used in a Byzantine princess’s wedding to the ruler of Venice. Nice, except the God-fearing Venetians saw these utensils as slights against the Lord Himself, who created man with perfectly good fingers to eat with. We’re not kidding.
Benedictine monk Peter Damian wrote that, “God in His wisdom has provided man with natural forks – his fingers.” The aforementioned princess was also criticized, by the way, for using napkins. It’s a slippery slope from napkins to all out pandemonium, folks.
