Guests would each bring their own utensils. Ancient Greeks used the fork but then the use fell out of custom. Byzantine Empire use developed during the first millennium but common use not until XVIIIth C in western world, North America XIXth….early use mainly as cooking utensil (Rome) Fun fact : Lorenzo de Medici’s estate included 18 forks… all for his private use. People would bring their own silverware if they had any to a banquet Use of fork in 1600’s regarded as unmanly Italian affectation and frowned upon by Roman Catholic Church – “ god in his wisdom has provided man with natural forks …his hands..” but mentioned in Bible… Before use of cutlery it was common to wipe own’s hands on any available material – hence no upholstery on chairs until development of silverware… This set of cutlery would have belonged to a high ranking individual such as nobleman, ambassador or Ruler.

  • Ch2.1 the Ancient Roman Empire Ancient Rome Fun Facts
    Socials 8 Name: ______________________________________ Ch2.1 The Ancient Roman Empire Ancient Rome Fun Facts 1. Rome was founded in 753BC by its first king, Romulus. It grew into a rich and powerful city during the next few hundred years. 2. By AD 117 the Roman Empire included the whole of Italy, all the lands around the Mediterranean and much of Europe, including England, Wales and parts of Scotland. 3. Roman legend says that Romulus had a twin brother called Remus. As babies they were abandoned in the area which later became Rome. A she-wolf found and raised them, but when they grew up, Romulus fought and killed Remus and became the first ruler of Rome! 4. The Romans built such a huge empire and conquered new lands, thanks to their strong army. The Roman army could march up to 40km a day! 5. During battle, a Roman soldier or ‘legionary’ first hurled his spear at the enemy, then he fought him with his sword. To protect himself, he carried a wooden shield and wore a metal helmet and armour. 6. The Romans didn’t spend all their time fighting – they were amazing architects and engineers too! They built roads and walls – things we now take for granted. 7. To bring water to their cities, the clever Romans built aqueducts – a system of channels and bridges – to transport water for public baths and toilets! 8. The Romans liked to enjoy their food, often lying down on a couch while eating with their hands. They occasionally used a spoon, but they would never use a knife and fork.

  • Romans? How Did They Progress British Civilisation?
    Burlington Junior School - History Year 4 Who were the Romans? How did they progress British civilisation? Background Information Roman Britain was a province of the Roman Empire from 43BC to 409AD. Before the invasions the tribes of Britain had already established cultural and economic links with continental Europe, but the Roman invaders introduced new developments in agriculture, urbanisation, industry, and architecture.

From 400 Britain suffered repeated attacks from barbarian invasions and in c. 409 Roman officials departed.

  • Eating Utensils Between China and America
    Eating Utensils between China and America Author: Sun Jing Affiliation: Henan Normal University E-mail: [email protected] Telephone Number: 18639018169 Eating Utensils between China and America Abstract: Eating utensils illustrate different cultures both in China and America. Chopsticks have integrated into Chinese daily life, and in America fork and knife are typical upon the dinning-table. They are different in shapes. Thus they contain different connotations. This paper tends to unfold them from their origin. By comparing different shapes, it explains their connotations from three aspects: public senses, family and society. The explanation can increase our understandings, deepen our friendship and advance our cooperation. Keywords: eating utensils; China; America Animals need to survive with food, so do human beings. How to eat wisely? It is what the wise does. The fate of the nation is influenced by the way they eat. And it is fantastic to discovering a new cooking method for us. Before our eating, it is interesting to mention the charming of the tableware. Different tableware casts light upon different cultures between China and America. In China chopsticks fit nicely into Chinese daily life on the dining-table; fork and knife are typical in America. They are different in shapes, but there is an art to what the way they take. It is significant to discuss different cultures between China and America through the different tableware. The English word “chopstick” may have derived from Chinese Pidgin English, in which “chop-chop” meant “quickly”. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest published use of the word is in the 1699 book Voyages and descriptions by William Dampier: “[T]hey are called by the English seamen 1 Chopsticks”.

  • Professional Dining Etiquette Tip Sheet
    Professional Dining Etiquette Tip Sheet Understanding etiquette plays an important role in making a favorable impression. The point is not to give you a lot of stuffy rules to memorize, but to make you and those around you feel comfortable in professional social settings. Your boss and colleagues will definitely notice if you make an etiquette blunder, and poor manners can have a negative impact on your career. Don’t worry, it’s pretty easy to get up to speed! Basic Etiquette Tips: Keep elbows off the table, and your non-dominant hand in your lap unless you are using it. Make light conversation with everyone. Give others equal opportunities for conversation. Pick neutral, not controversial, topics for conversation. It is your responsibility in a social gathering to contribute to the conversation. To keep conversation flowing, ask open-ended questions that cannot be answered with a yes/no answer: “Tell me about your family,” not “Do you have any children?” Keep multicultural competence in mind with your dinner companions. In the professional world, you may meet a very diverse group of people. Be careful not to make assumptions about people based on what you think you know about their cultural group. Treat everyone as an individual. Politeness counts. At a restaurant, say thank you to your server and busser. Turn off your cell phone or switch it to silent or vibrate mode before sitting down to eat, and leave it in your pocket or purse. If you must make or take a call, excuse yourself from the table and step outside.
