ABSTRACT:
A serving container for an elongated food product and a condiment has a conduit formed by a sidewall having an upper sidewall region, which forms an open top, and a lower sidewall region. A condiment container is aligned with and affixed to the lower sidewall region, and has a container rim with leading and rim trailing edges. The condiment container is sealed by a sealing sheet which peelably engages the container rim, having leading and sheet trailing edges which respectively engage the leading and rim trailing edges. A tab attached to the sheet leading edge extends over the sealing sheet and is superimposed over the sheet trailing edge. The tab is maintained in close proximity to the rim trailing edge such that, when the tab is pulled, the pull on the sealing sheet is substantially parallel to the container rim, allowing the sealing sheet to be removed without dislodging a food product contained in the conduit. The tab may be so maintained by a slot in the sidewall through which the tab passes, a fixably positioned constraining edge under which the tab passes, or a rotatable crank onto which the tab is wound.
