Zusammenfassung:	A disposable plate (10) for carrying and serving food is disclosed. One particular aspect of the invention includes a plate with a substantially circular food-contact area (12) with a substantially oval rim periphery (16). The rim (16) is formed to make the plate easy to hold, with grooves (18) adapted to accommodate fingers and/or thumbs. The present invention may be designed to segment the food storage areas of the plate into multiple compartments by using a divider wall (122). Also, the food-contact area can be slightly domed to force food to shift to the outer portion of the food-contact area and inhibit the food from slipping to the middle of the plate, thus keeping the plate center from sagging. L'invention concerne une assiette jetable (10) permettant de porter et de servir des aliments. Un aspect particulier de l'invention comprend une assiette présentant une zone (12) sensiblement circulaire au contact des aliments ayant un bord de périphérie (16) sensiblement ovale. Le bord (16) est formé de manière à rendre l'assiette facile à prendre, des rainures (18) étant conçues pour recevoir les doigts et/ou pouces. La présente invention peut être conçue de manière à segmenter les zones de disposition d'aliments de l'assiette en compartiments multiples à l'aide d'une paroi de séparation (122). De même, la zone au contact des aliments peut être légèrement bombée afin de forcer le passage des aliments vers la partie extérieure de la zone au contact des aliments, afin d'empêcher que les aliments ne glissent au milieu de l'assiette, empêchant ainsi que le centre de l'assiette ne s'affaisse.
