Plate for eating while standing up

A plate intended for use while standing up is configured to allow the main area of the plate to rest on the forearm of a user, while a user's index finder and thumb grip a holder (15) projecting downwardly from the rim region (13) of the plate. The height of the holder (15) is substantially the same as the height of the rim region (13) of the plate, above the food-holding base area (11) thereof. The holder (15) is configured internally to accommodate a drinking vessel (20) such as a stemmed wine glass, a tumbler, or a can or bottle. The holder (15) is profiled to facilitate the stacking of a plurality of like plates, with the holders partially nested.
