In the 1600s, as dinner party etiquette evolved, forks became a fixture on dining tables, offering a less hands-on approach to eating. However, forks had limitations, prompting the creation of the marrow spoon in the 1680s to address the challenge of extracting bone marrow.
Silver marrow scoops were essential utensils during Georgian times, prized for their ability to extract marrowfat from beef bones, considered a delicacy of the era.
