“You don’t need a silver fork to eat good food”
“You don’t need a silver fork to eat good food” is a food saying that has been printed on many images. The saying means that you don’t have to be rich to eat well.
The “silver fork” saying has been credited to American celebrity chef Paul Prudhomme (1940-2015) since at least 2007.
