her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe. By the fifteenth
century the use of the fork was wide spread in Italy. The English explanation
was that Italians were against eating food touched with fingers. "Seeing all
men’s fingers are not alike clean." English travelers kept their friends
laughing while describing this ridiculous Italian custom. Anyone
who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred
years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies (女人气的男子) and women A. brought to Europe from Constantinople B. thought of by the Italians C. brought to Europe from America D. begun when forks were first invented
