Zusammenfassung:The invention is generally directed to a plate-lid for serving selected food items which are to be used in connection with a beverage container. An inner circular ribbed region of the plate-lid snaps over the annular ridge or rim of the beverage container thereby forming a seal to prevent spillage of liquid from the beverage container. The ribbed region includes a plurality of inwardly directed lands with a plurality of flutes of varying circumferential lengths positioned between the lands in order to space the lands about the inner plate-lid. The outer area of the plate-lid provides sections or wells for the placement of food stuffs and/or condiments. This mating means serves to resist lateral movement between the beverage container and the food holding section or tray when they are joined together. The plate-lid also provides the option for a straw insertion in a location where the straw will not interfere with the food items or condiments being served on the plate-lid. The plate-lids are stackable without nesting. A plurality of lug members extend downwardly from a surface or plane of the plate-lid and are positioned at predetermined segments with reference to the center of the plate-lid. The lug members also extend downwardly a predesigned distance so as to position the surface or horizontal plane of a first plate-lid of a stack coplanar with the surface or plane portion of the plate-lid on which the first plate-lid rests.
