Ice cream is eaten with a small spoon.
Usually, a fruit tart is eaten with a fork. If you are offered a creamy pastry, such as a napoleon or cream puff, it's advisable to use a fork rather than your hand, in order to keep the good stuff from oozing out the other end. Either or both of these are scooped onto your pudding, and the whole thing is eaten with a spoon. Eat with a spoon and a fork. The fork holds the pear down against the dish, and the spoon is used to cut the fruit into small edible pieces.
