Cine a fost domnitorul ce a introdus furculițele în Țările Române? Biserica le considera unelte ale diavolului • Newsweek România

The introduction of forks in the Romanian Principalities was a gradual process influenced by Western European customs. Initially viewed by the Church as tools of the devil, forks faced resistance due to traditional eating habits. The first mention of forks in the region occurred during the reign of Vasile Lupu in the 17th century, noted by traveler Paul de Alep. Despite their initial rejection, forks gained popularity in Europe, especially after being popularized by Catherine de Medici in France. By the 19th century, forks became common in America and evolved in design, leading to their widespread use today.
