"It is almost impossible to say the name of Thai prime minister Yingluck Shinawat without adding 'give a dog a bone'"

A thousand years ago the Chinese had an entirely codified kitchen while the French were still gnawing on bones. Chopsticks have been around since the fourth century B.C. Forks didn't show up in England until 1611, and even then they weren't meant for eating but just to hold the meat still while you hacked at it with your knife.
