FORKS
Kitchen forks trace their origins back to the time of the Greeks. These forks were fairly large with two tines that aided in the carving and serving of meat. The tines prevented meat from twisting or moving during carving and allowed food to slide off more easily than it would with a knife.
By the 7th Century CE, royal courts of the Middle East began to use forks at the table for dining. From the 10th through the 13th Centuries, forks were fairly common among the wealthy in Byzantium, and in the 11th Century, a Byzantine wife of a Doge of Venice brought forks to Italy. The Italians, however, were slow to adopt their use. It was not until the 16th Century that forks were widely adopted in Italy.
In 1533, forks were brought from Italy to France when Catherine de Medicis married the future King Henry II. The French, too, were slow to accept forks, because using them was thought to be an affectation.
An Englishman named Thomas Coryate brought the first forks to England after seeing them in Italy during his travels in 1608.

* The proper etiquette for eating with a knife and fork is the knife is for cutting and the fork for picking up small amounts of foods and the person eating should eat one section of food at a time and not mix all foods onto their fork. Some people will eat meat first; then potatoes; then vegetables while others may do it the complete opposite. It does not really matter in what rotation you eat your food, just don't pile different foods on your fork (with the exception of a salad where everything is already mixed together.)
* It is far better to use your knife to direct the peas to your fork. Scooping food up (even gravy) with bread or a bun when out at a person's house for dinner or at a restaurant is poor etiquette.
