Usually
the stem has been removed from a berry before it is served. In a formal
setting, strawberry forks are used to spear and eat a berry. If they
are served with the stem, it is appropriate to pick them up as a finger
food. If they are served with a cream or sauce, use the sauce ladle
to put it onto your fruit plate before dipping A large berry spoon
is used to serve from the main berry bowl.
