The aperture in the central support portion preferably includes an oval-shaped main portion which is adapted for receiving the eating end portion of a spoon and/or a fork and a slot portion which is adapted for receiving the blade portion of a knife in an on-edge disposition wherein it is angled inwardly slightly in its upward extent.
