<First embodiment>
Fig.1 (a) is a perspective view of the eating utensil 1 which concerns on 1st embodiment of this invention. FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C are explanatory diagrams for explaining a usage example of the eating utensil 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the edible utensil 1 is a dish on which food is placed, and has a substantially elliptical bottom surface 11 and a side surface 12 rising substantially upward from the bottom surface. Yes.

  On the edge portion 13 of the side surface 12, notched groove portions 14 a and 14 b are formed as mounting portions 14 at substantially equal intervals from an arbitrary point A. FIG. 1 (c) shows a user's tableware to be placed (mainly the whole or handle, etc., at least a part of which is a rod-like dish, such as chopsticks 91, spoon 92, fork 93, knife). Thus, it can be stably placed on the eating utensil 1 by leaning against one of the groove portions 14a or 14b or by placing it over both groove portions as shown in FIG. 1 (b).

  The two groove portions 14a and 14b are preferably configured to face the focal point C direction of the elliptical bottom surface 11. According to this, for example, when a fork and a knife are stood against the two groove portions 14a and 14b, they are stably held in a state of intersecting in the vicinity of the focal point C.

  The edge 13 is inclined so that the side surface 12 is the lowest at an arbitrary point A and the highest at a point B that is substantially opposite to the arbitrary point A. The scooping portion 15, which is a side surface near the point B formed higher than the surroundings, is formed such that the side surface 12 rises at a steep angle (for example, about 80 degrees) with respect to the bottom surface 11. As shown in (c), the food can be easily scooped up with a spoon 92 or the like. If the scooping portion 15 is curved outward, the effect is further enhanced.

  Further, it is desirable that the arbitrary points A and B are formed at both ends of the major axis of the elliptical bottom surface 11. Thereby, even if the food utensils to be placed are stretched over and held in the grooves 14a and 14b, the dish can be widely used.

  Furthermore, it is desirable that the distance from the groove portions 14a to 14b be some distance (for example, 5 cm or more). Thereby, the spanning width of the food utensils to be placed is increased and can be held more stably.

<Second Embodiment>

  On the side surface 22, two groove portions 14 a and 14 b and a protruding portion 24 a in which an edge 23 extends obliquely upward in the outward direction are formed between the groove portions, thereby constituting a placement portion 24. As shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C, the user can place the chopsticks 91 and the fork 93 across the groove portions 14a and 14b or lean against one of the groove portions 14a or 14b. At that time, since the movement of the food utensil to be placed is locked by the protrusion 24a, it does not roll down even if it is slightly tilted, and is stably placed by the food utensil 2.

  Here, the position of the protrusion 24a is on one end side of the short axis of the bottom surface. According to this, by arranging chopsticks on the back side as shown in FIG. 2B, the protrusion 24a does not get in the way when serving or eating dishes. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the protrusion 24a may be formed at any position of the edge 23 as long as it is sandwiched between the grooves 14a and 14b.

  In addition, the bottom surface 21 is formed with a bowl-shaped partition portion 25 in which a triangular prism is laid in the horizontal direction so as to bisect the bottom surface with the elliptical short axis. As shown in Fig. 2 (b), this allows foods to be separated and placed in a dish, so that the foods touch each other, change its taste, become colored, or be picked together. Can be prevented.
