The Fork Lunch
25/03/26
The Fork Lunch explored the curious history of the fork through shared readings about a Byzantine princess whose unfortunate fate followed the discovery of forks in her luggage afterwards a lunch of freshly baked rolls and tuna salad was shared.
Dishes served
Fresh Rolls
Tuna Salad
Mixed Greens and Cucumber Salad with a St John Mustard Dressing
The publication guests were handed upon arrival.
Guests arrived and were given refreshments before moving straight into readings on the history of the fork, including the story of a Byzantine princess and her unfortunate fate.
We then shared fresh rolls with tuna salad, alongside a mixed green and cucumber salad with a mustard vinaigrette. Inspired by a line from the story—where a traveller claims that using a fork makes us forget our God-given fingers—we chose to eat the meal with our hands.
