The present invention relates to tableware. The tableware includes a handle and a holding section connected with the handle. The cross-section of the handle is “M”-shaped, with a “V”-shaped groove extending from the middle of the handle to the holding section, and at least one V-shaped groove being positioned in the middle of the holding section. The above-mentioned parts make up the strengthened tableware. The “M”-shaped and “W”-shaped grooves strengthen the handle, the palm and the finger of the tableware. On the other hand, the manufacturing and concave points located at the “M”-shaped groove of the front surface and the “W”-shaped groove of the back surface of the tableware enable the tableware to overlap closely and steadily because of a parallel-wave structure principle. Different types or the same type of tableware can overlap closely.

Convenient food container
A food container includes a base (12) with a food-holding cavity (14) and a lid (20) that closes the cavity, each formed of plastic sheeting. The lid defines an eating utensil (32) such as a fork, by a breakaway line that extends around the utensil and that can be easily broken to remove the utensil. The base has radially inner and outer upstanding flanges (64, 62) and an upwardly-opening base groove (66) between them that receives a lid lip (72). At an initial opening section (60) that occupies less than one-fifth of the container perimeter, a section (62A) of the outer base flange is partially separated from the rest of the base by a cut (80) extending along the base groove and by opposite breakable lines. At that section, the inner base flange (64A) is of reduced width to provide more room for a person to grasp the lid, and there is also a smaller interference fit between the base inner flange with walls of the lid groove.
