Strawberries must have been big because there are beautiful Strawberry Serving sets, which consist of a spoon and fork. Also, there is a Strawberry Fork, used in addition to the 5 piece place setting when strawberries are served. It has a special 3 tine designed for eating the fruit.

What I do not understand is how they missed making the pineapple fork, spoon, knife and serving piece.
ReplyDeleteNow, I wonder if they served cantaloupe with ice cream would that warrant the use of the melon setting along with the ice cream setting?
Cannot answer the question about the pineapple unless they became popular after the government limited the number of pieces any one sterling pattern could have. As for the melon/ ice cream conundrum, I think the small tines on the end of the ice cream fork would service both well.
