Abstract: A plate for serving food or holding other materials which contains a hole (35) at its center. The sides of the hole (30) are configured to hold a specific generic drinking vessel or specific generic liquid containing vessel, but will also hold other similarly shaped vessels. A recess (25), which surrounds the hole from beneath the plate, is shaped to allow the thumb and fingers of one hand to firmly grasp and hold the plate with or without the drinking vessel (40), (45) in place. The sides of the plate (15a) and (15b) are curved and sloped to allow the plate to be stacked with itself. The top of the recess (20) extends to the top level of the plate to prevent food from prematurely spilling over the plate's edge.
