Medieval people ate mostly with spoons and their fingers. They used knives for cutting and carving. They had forks, but usually used them in the kitchen, and not at the table.

They used bowls and plates, but often used a stale piece of bread as a trencher or bowl. If they used a bread trencher, then they put soup or stew into a hollowed out piece of bread, and ate it with a spoon or drank from the edge as they would from a cup. When the soup or stew was gone, they ate the bread, which had soaked up some of the sauce in the process.
with their hands. There was also forks but no knifes. The knife of that specific age was a sword and sometimes they would eat their meat of of it, instead of anything else.
