 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough. Hook is correctly formatted. Article is neutral and well referenced. The hook claim is not supported by ref 14 Wilkinson which only says that Columbus introduced sugar to Hispaniola in 1493 and in a later paragraph that in the Elizabethan and Jacobean age edible tableware was used. I think the hook and the article should be revised to match the source and be less specific since undoubtedly people have always used food as eating implements and utensils, if not always on tables. AGF on offline sources. I detected no close paraphrasing or copyvios. Pic displays well and is freely licensed. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:59, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Struck the initial hook. Check out the alt below. The article has also been copy edited accordingly. North America1000 22:45, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
