Why do forks typically have exactly 4 prongs?
Author
MaulingMonkey got me wondering, why do forks typically have exactly 4 prongs?
I mean, it seems to be a very practical number, but how much information is there on the historical evolution of the fork?
It's probably preferrable over having approximately 4 prongs.
I've seen and used 2 and 3 prong forks in the past as well, though only a couple times with a 2 prong fork. could a skewer be considered a 1 prong fork?
Historically speaking, I don't know.

I have heard that common table forks don't have two tines because two-tined forks are associated with Satan. I have no idea if that has any basis in reality.
