Abstract
A serving piece for serving cereal and preventing its becoming soggy in milk includes a lower bowl configured to be supported in a food containing orientation upon a surface. An elongated sloped chute is mounted to and communicates at one end with the lower bowl and extends upwardly and outwardly therefrom and an upper bowl is mounted to and communicates with the other end of the sloped chute. In use, crispy cereal from the upper bowl is urged in successive measured portions down the chute and into milk contained in the lower bowl from where each portion of cereal can be consumed prior to its becoming soggy.

A serving piece for serving cereal and preventing it from becoming soggy in milk with said serving piece comprising:
- a first bowl for receiving milk with said first bowl being adapted to be supported upon a surface in a food containing orientation;
- an elongated cereal chute mounted at one end to and communicating with said first bowl;
- said cereal chute extending upwardly and outwardly from said first bowl when said first bowl is supported in its food containing orientation;
- and
- a second bowl for receiving cereal with said second bowl being mounted to and communicating with the other end of said cereal chute,
- whereby cereal contained in the second bowl can be urged in measured quickly edible portions from the second bowl down the chute and into milk within the first bowl from where it can be consumed before becoming soggy.

- a second reservoir;
- and
- transfer means communicating between said first and said second reservoirs for selectively transferring food from said second reservoir into said first reservoir.
A serving piece comprising a lower bowl having a weighted base for supporting said lower bowl in a food containing orientation upon a surface, an elongated sloped chute mounted to and communicating at its lower end with said lower bowl and extending upwardly and outwardly therefrom, and an upper bowl mounted to and communicating with the upper end of said chute, whereby crispy cereal contained in the upper bowl can be urged in measured quickly consumable portions down the chute and into milk contained within the lower bowl from where it can be consumed before becoming soggy in the milk.
A method of preventing cereal from becoming soggy in milk before being consumed with said method comprising the steps of
- (a) containing milk in a first container;
- (b) containing cereal in a second container;
