It’s time for the main course, and the most surprisingly complicated of cutlery items covered so far in the podcast: the fork! Jessica and Matilda dive into the history and archaeology of the fork, and discover that it’s not quite such a simple tool as they originally thought. Why do Americans and Germans hold their forks so differently? What’s the difference between a fork and a fork-like object? And who was using a spork in the 4th century? Tune in to find out!
