Traditionally, eating forks actually date back to the 14th century.  However throughout much of history their use has been limited to the upper classes and theirs were often made from expensive materials and were elaborately decorated.  So what did John and Jane Peasant use?  Apart from fingers they used eating picks like our Medieval Style Stainless Twisted Eating Pick, simple little skewers for stabbing food and getting it to your mouth.  I suppose you could also clean your finger nails or pick your teeth with it too - just don't use it to pick your nose with it, ouch!  This medieval eating pick is made from stainless steel so it won't rust and can even go in the dishwasher; it also features a few twists in the middle for style and grip.
