SBTS #13 Well, Fork Me

Pineapple Pizza Podcast

In this week’s Story By The Slice, Ashley serves up the history of the fork, and while this might sound like a boring dish, we promise that you’ll find plenty of unexpected and flavorful fun packed into this sweet little slice. While the idea of eating with your hands may seem like poor table manners to us today, it turns out it wasn’t as long ago as you might think that this was not only the norm, it was actually considered vain to do otherwise.
