Social awareness about health, to include eating habits is rising in understanding and importance. Despite awareness about portion size and emphasizing, deemphasizing, or balancing calories, fats, salt, sugars, and other food components; there is still interest in food choice. One approach to variety with health consideration is to sample favorite foods or foods of interest rather than limiting one's selection and feeling obligated to consume fuller portion sizes. Sampling of solid foods is more easily done with a typical or even divided disposable plate. However, sampling liquid based foods is more difficult. One can do so by using multiple bowls, cups, or even reverting to sharing but these options are hard to carry and sharing with others than a close loved one is not advised. The MultiBowl of this disclosure provides a solution by forming one or more partitions into a typical individual use food bowl to divide the single serving well into two or more serving wells. Although possible, the MultiBowl is not intended to replace a formal table setting, but is ideal for banquets, picnics, get-togethers, parties, snacking, and other such events where stackability at a point of service and easy clean up with disposability are useful. It also becomes immediately useful for crafts, hobbies, sorting, repairs at home or work, and other times when multiple containers can be substituted with the MultiBowl. The MultiBowl provides solution for simplicity with multiple service wells, expected affordability, multiple availability from stackability, and temporary durability with disposability.

The invention is a beverage garnish holder for placement on the rim of a beverage glass and comprises: a bispherical cradle for supporting the beverage garnish; a rim incurvation configured to engage the beverage glass rim; a transition neck connecting the rim incurvation to the bispherical cradle; and a depending tab configured to extend from the rim incurvation into the beverage glass.

A retainer arrangement for arranging a serving utensil to a top edge protruding from a wall of a serving dish. The retainer arrangement comprises a support element having at least two holding partitions arranged substantially orthogonally to each other and configured to protrude from the support element and to be guidable below the top edge of the serving dish, a main surface of the support element arranged substantially parallel to a top surface of the top edge of the serving dish and configured to contact the top surface. The retainer arrangement also comprises a fastening element having at least one locking element configured to contact an inner surface of the wall of the serving dish, the fastening element protruding in relation to the top edge of the serving dish and configured to receive the serving utensil to be set on the retainer arrangement.

A system for interacting with food includes a rigid plate with a plurality of recessed regions formed in a body portion of the plate. The recessed regions are arranged to define a shape of an object such as a vehicle or animal for appealing to a young child. One or more of the recessed regions may include a nesting region having a shape substantially matching the shape of a head portion of a utensil for use with the plate. The recessed regions may also include a dock portion that mates with and elevates a head portion of an associated utensil above the lower surface of the recessed region. The body portion may include a retention feature that mates with and retains and handle portion of the utensil. Transition regions between the walls and the lower surfaces of recessed regions may match the shape of the head of the utensil.

A system of nesting magnetic tableware comprises two pieces of tableware, each including a well, a substantially planar rim extending from the well, the rim having opposing upper and lower surfaces, a magnet affixed to the rim either above the upper surface or below the lower surface, and a recess corresponding to the magnet in the surface of the rim opposing the surface of the rim to which the magnet is affixed. The magnet of one of the pieces of dishware engages the recess of the other piece of dishware when the two pieces of dishware are nested in a stack and the magnets thereof are placed in proximity to one another.
