Both forks and spoons were used throughout the Middle Ages, and both originated in ancient times. In particular, the spoon certainly goes back to prehistoric times.
Forks were unpopular as table utensils in Western Europe of the Early Middle Ages, though they were used for cooking and carving. They became popular for table use in different parts of Europe at different times.
Spoons were very commonly used during throughout the Middle Ages, as people ate a lot of gruel, soup, and stew.
