Claims (10)

1. A serving dish apparatus comprising a plate and a plurality of serving sections, wherein:

the plurality of serving sections are releasably attachable to and from the plate by a human without the use of tools via a friction fitting in each of the plurality of serving sections;

wherein the plate comprises:

a flat horizontal interior plate base, a flat horizontal exterior plate base, an interior plate hip, an exterior plate hip, wherein the interior plate hip has an interior plate hip cross section with an interior plate hip profile of a first quarter of a first circular arc centered on a point above the exterior plate base an wherein the exterior plate hip has an exterior plate hip cross section with an exterior plate hip profile of a second quarter of a second circular arc centered on the point above the exterior plate base, an interior curved vertical wall, and an exterior curved vertical wall;

wherein each of the plurality of serving sections comprises a nose, a serving section base, two vertical radius walls, an arc hip, a vertical arc wall, and a clasp formed of a material continuous with the vertical arc wall, wherein the clasp and the vertical arc wall form a clasp negative space, wherein the clasp negative space is sized to accommodate within it the interior curved vertical wall of the plate and the exterior curved vertical wall of the plate and to thereby form the friction fitting;

wherein each of the plurality of serving sections occupies a sector of the plate;

wherein the nose of each of the plurality of serving sections comprises a round nose radius, wherein a point of the round nose radius follows a nose path around a center of the plate, wherein exteriors of the two vertical radius walls of the plurality of serving sections are centered on the center of the plate, wherein thereby a first nose of a first of the plurality of serving sections and a second nose of a second of the plurality of serving sections do not overlap in any positions occupied by the serving sections in the plate; and

wherein the first of the plurality of serving sections occupies a first sector of the plate and the second of the plurality of serving sections occupies a second sector of the plate, wherein the first sector of the plate is larger than the second sector of the plate, and wherein a first nose path of the first nose of the plurality of serving sections is closer tot the center of the plate than a second nose path of the second nose of the plurality of serving sections.

2. The serving dish apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the friction fitting comprises a friction pad in the serving section.

3. The serving dish apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the friction pad is a rubbery material.
