Alone in my polytunnel.
Help me please, before there is bloodshed chez Brownstone.

Does one eat a slice of cheesecake with a fork or a spoon?

No question about it, you should use a fork (a normal one, not a garden fork). If eating cheesecake whilst out and about, this also makes you look a bit posh.

Defo fork, but no knife. You have to cut it with the side of the fork. Them's the rules.

I like the cut of your jib here, Freddie. I'd point and laugh if i saw anyone using a knife on a cheesecake unless they were plating up. In fact, i often challenge myself to get through the main without using a knife, just to prove that i can. You can look a bit of a tw*t tackling a steak this way, mind.

Preferably, a dessert fork.

Get you, Miss La-di-da :)

I went to a fancy restaurant not long ago (someone else was paying) and had a deconstructed cheesecake. Lazy if you ask me.

You try telling that to the judge.

With Laurence O to defend me I hold no fear of an appearance at Bideford Assizes before Judge Jeffreys.

Ahem. Well, I was also going to suggest that a gentleman should always carry a dessert fork - neatly wrapped in a napkin - about his person. Likewise, a lady should keep the same in her handbag. One never knows when one might chance upon a quality cheesecake ...
