Spoons and forks

Exactly my manouvre Elegran! Well described!

anagram Sweet tarts in tough pastry cases (Nellie where are you when needed?) ? Break through with fork, shovel up with spoon using fork to stop fragments from scattering all over table like shrapnel.

You really cannot eat creme brulee with only a fork! or a Knickebocker Glory or Eton Mess. Spoon plus fork /fingers but not fork and fingers!

I'm quite curious to know what sort of puds or desserts need a fork!

I know, jeni - it's probably your infernal spellcheck!
(Funny, though!)

Surely Morris dancing?

Oops meant ways!

Exactly! Perhaps fighting each other with rolled-up newspapers whilst dancing on the balls of their feet....

anagram 'refined wars' that conjures some very strange ideas!

Those Americans just love our refined wars, don't they?

I use a fork or a fork and spoon. I lay the table with the desert cutlery above the place mat as described. The Americans amuse me with the way they eat. They sometimes ask me to show them the "posh" English war as they think it looks very'refined!

My mother only ate dessert with a fork, she considered it common to eat it with a spoon.. I don't care what Ieat it with, as long as I eat it

It's common to use a fork Anagram but you will never be!

I always need a spoon and fork for dessert,otherwise I would be chasing my pudd around the dish all night .

What's a pudding/dessert? Not allowed!
