Abstract
A food serving container which includes a tray which is formed by a front section and a rear section. Both the front section and the rear section have a side wall which connect together to form an enclosing side wall when the tray is in a stored position permitting a sandwich to be located and stored within the chamber of the tray. The front section is capable of pivoting relative to the rear section to an inclined position which facilitates consuming of the sandwich with the front section functioning to catch and collect any sandwich drippings that may occur doing the consuming procedure. With the front section in the usage position, the upstanding side wall of the front section is limited to the extent of movement relative to the rear section.
