I discovered I sure didn't after taking this online quiz picturing a variety of antique silver tableware, all of it very pretty, and a'' pretty esoteric. You have to wonder what kind of long-gone mentality prompted people to believe they actually needed a sterling silver, handcrafted bacon serving fork, or a "lemon pricker." In my opinion a lot of dining's true appeal lies not in complexity and artifice, but in the primal simplicity of "breaking bread" together, without fuss.
