Abstract:
A food serving system in the form of a receptacle housing is provided which is initially integrated, but which includes at least two meal course portion containers which are separable. In such a system at least one separable portion is designed to carry a meal course which is to be heated in that portion, and at least one separable portion is designed to carry a meal course which is not intended to be heated but rather is designed to carry a meal course which is to be served at room temperature or at a temperature cooler than room temperature. In one embodiment the integrated food serving system is in the form of a receptacle housing in which at least one of the separable portions which is designed to carry a meal course has scorelines there-in-between such portion and the receptacle and from other portions carried by the receptacle which are designed to carry meal courses. In another embodiment, the integrated food serving system is in the form of a receptacle housing which includes one or more separable portion which is designed to carry meal course portions in a container which is removably carried by the receptacle housing. In yet another embodiment the integrated food serving system is in the form of a receptacle housing which includes meal course portions which are mechanically connected to the receptacle housing or to one another.
