User:Forks and spoons

The saying 'forks and spoons' has been lingering around the world of English language and literature for centuries. Of course the fork was invented marginally a while before the spoon. As using a spoon in medieval Britain and America etc. was considered pointless as they were not faced with such obstacles such as rice,pasta etc. that us humans are faced with in the modern day 21st century.

History
The saying fork and spoons was created in around the 14th century as the beginning of the revolution that shaped our modern day world (i.e the invention of the spoon) was created. This wasn't taken very well at first by the general public and society (again still considered useless and unneeded)but as time slowly trailed along the public finally caught site that using such a utensil such as a spoon proved to be very useful in daily life, such as; baking,eating etc. To this day the fork and spoon are still efortlessly used worldwide to vast numbers. Although the trend of using the new 'spoon' caught up in the AMericas and the U.K some parts of india (still to this day) use their hands instead of eat with forks and spoons (along with thousands of other communites spread accross the world) this is mainly for relgious resons. The fork and spoon are very popular today and come in a variety of different colours/designs/utilization methods etc. instead of just having a basic fork and spoon carved from wood. They are now widely used in a variety of different metals and plastics for extra durablitly, but even though the trend of having wooden cutlery seemed to have settled down in the modern years of the 21st century. Makers are still selling and succesfully making a profit on the original 'wooden utensils' (i.e cutlery)

Purpose
Aswell as being used for activities such as eating and baking. Spoons also had a drastic effect on the world of rowing! As the design of the spoon is significantly better for paddling (as it has a curved head) then your average wooden plank used.They'd helps push the water away form the vessel and therefore move it in a forward position. Forks however have also been used for such activities as slaughter and as weapons. The fork has proved to be a very effective and durable utensil to fight with as it usually has 4-5 pressure points (i.e the spikes) so that the pressure is more widely spread then just a jousting stick or sword. Although the trend of the fork was created possibly thousands of years ago it wasn't used to utilised in such activities as eating up until the 13th century. Beforehand they were used for battle etc. as a good and effective way to defend/injure and possibly kill the opponent.

The fork and spoon will forever hold its place not only in our eating habits but also throughout our battle plans and recreational sport tactics as one for the most useful ideas ever bought the table.
