Abstract: A two-piece container including a plate having a peripheral rim and a cover having a peripheral flange. The flange of the cover has a depending portion adapted to overlappingly engage the rim of the plate in a releasable interlocking relationship. In one aspect of the invention, an indexing cut-out portion is formed in either the plate rim or the cover flange, and an indexing protrusion extends inwardly from the other of the plate rim and cover flange. To facilitate alignment of the cover and the plate during releasable attachment of the cover to the plate, the indexing protrusion is configured to engage the indexing cut-out portion. In another aspect of the invention, the plate has a bottom, a side wall extending upwardly from a periphery of the bottom, and a raised rib-like partition extending upwardly from the bottom to define separate plate compartments for holding and separating food items thereon. The partition has an inverted V-shape with a rounded apex.
