The modern table setting is attributed to Charles I of
England who in 1633 declared, "It is decent to use a fork," a statement that heralded the beginning of civilized table manners.
But it wasn't until almost a century later that the fork gained acceptance among the lower class. The first dinner forks were made with two flat prongs. The earliest two-prong fork to bear an English hallmark and engraved with a coat of arms dates to
1632 and is attributed to the Earl of Rutland. It can be seen today in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. But when it came to spearing certain foods, such as peas and grains, the widely spaced two-prong fork was impractical, and between the 17th -
18th centuries the tines increased in number from two to three and then to four. Moreover, from the late 17th century to the mideighteenth century, the profile of the fork changed from flat to slightly curved, a shape that accommodated a scoop of soft food, such as peas. But three- and four-prong forks were slow to reach
North America, where people continued to eat from a knife blade food that was difficult to spear with a two-prong fork, such as mashed potatoes and gravy.
