As far as we know, they first came into use in Europe in the eleventh century, when the wife of the ruler of Venice started to use one. ( 49 ) . At first the use of forks was restricted to kings and nobles. Made of gold or silver, they were symbols of luxury and high social status. Some were even decorated with precious stones. ( 50 ). The use of forks spread slowly inside Italy and even more slowly to other countries. Although a king of England is known to have possessed seven forks as early as 1307, ordinary Englishmen continued to think them ridiculous and made fun of anyone who used one. ( 51 ) . In France, for example it didn’t happen until the end of the eighteenth century, about the same time as people started to use individual plates and glasses. The way someone uses a fork can tell you the country he comes from. ( 52 ). English people would hold their knife in their right hand and the fork in their left with the prongs pointing down. ( 53 ). 
(A) These early forks had only two prongs, unlike most modem forks, which have twice that number
(B) This is regarded in England as good manners even though it can make eating more difficult
(C) If you see someone at a dinner party holding a fork in his right hand with the prongs pointing up, you can be sure that person is American
(D) She considered herself too delicate to pick up meat and other tough foods with her fingers
(E) It was hundreds of years before the custom became established throughout Europe
