An example of this abundance can be found by looking no further than a proper Victorian table setting with its myriad of distinct serving and cutlery pieces, including asparagus forks, (both serving and individual), bon bon spoons and tongs, lettuce forks, fish slicers, butter picks, berry and bacon forks, cheese scoops, cucumber servers and a host of spoons - salt, demitasse, egg, bouillon, cream soup, grapefruit and orange - the list goes on and on.
