Did medieval peasants have cutlery

Answer 1

Spoon and knife. The fork didn't come into use until much later. Plates were trenchers and these were made of wood ( after a bit worms and other varmints would live on it) or thick slices of bread. The bread trencher would have the food on top and then it could be eaten or given to the dogs under the table. Bowls were used, but they were used more like a cup and drunk out of. Saucers were used the same way. Liquids would be poured into the saucer and drunk. There were cups, mugs, and other drinking vessels used.

Answer 2

They had knives with metal blades. Everyone had a knife for eating but forks had not yet become widely available. Spoons of wood or cow horn were also used for liquids such as pottage, but pieces of bread (sops) were also used to mop up liquids.

It is possible that wooden skewers were used instead of forks to pick out individual pieces of food from a dish - dogwood is ideal for this as it does not splinter or crack.

See link below for an image of a medieval knife, which would have had a round-section handle of hardwood:

Answer 3

You got forks, knifes, and spoons, yeah not that strange, they didn't have sporks though.
