divided plate

Partitioned eating surface

A divided plate is a plate with raised partitions separating it into sections, keeping different foods from touching.

Common in children's dinnerware and cafeteria trays, divided plates appeal to picky eaters who don't want their peas mingling with their mashed potatoes: He still uses a divided plate at thirty.
