... that marmalade, mashed potato and fish knives were all used in the book Class to identify different British social classes?

16px {{ping|Lajmmoore}} thank you for an interesting and amusing article. The article is new enough and long enough, it is well sourced and Earwig does not show any copyvio problems. I have checked the online references and removed one quote that appeared to be incorrect. The hook is interesting and short enough and well sourced. I found Scoff: A History of Food and Class in Britain on archive.org and the pages numbers there are 22 for marmalade, 34 for mashed potato and 232 for fish knives.

:*Thanks very much {{u|TSventon}}, and that's such a good reminder about archive.org - I never think to use it for recent books, so this is a great tip. Thanks for adding the page numbers too. :::Lajmmoore (talk) 06:25, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Scoff is not available for borrowing, but I searched for key words and was able to see a few pages. TSventon (talk) 06:30, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
