A certain user on this site, (and I won't say who), recently declared that forks have only been commonly used within the past 500 years, meaning that the spoon (which has in fact existed for a millennia), has had an unfair advantage over the fork, and that I'm simply propagating historical repression through this site. This could not be further from the truth. The user in question mentioned "Gilgamesh" as an example of someone who utilized spoonage, however, this common misconception that the ancient king favored the spoon over the fork is completely unfounded. In my new series, "Spooning Through History", I will explore the historical significance of the spoon, but of the purpose of this post, I will leave you with this: Gilgamesh used forks too.
