Medieval people used spoons and knives, but usually only used forks for cooking. The fact is, however, that they ate a lot of foods with their fingers, including foods we would not eat that way, like stew and soup. They often went without a bowl for the soup, spooning it instead onto a thick piece of stale bread used as a trencher. They took what soup they could off the bread with a spoon, and then ate the rest, soup and bread, together. Wealthy people had plates, many poor people did not and ate directly off the table. Cups and knives were considered common to the people at the table, so two or more people might share the same cup.
