An integrally formed food plate such as used for picnics or the like and includes integrally attached utensils therewith in combination. The utensils when manually manipulated are easily detached for use. However, the utensils each further include novel pinholes that allow for re-attachment onto the food plate when not in use. Furthermore, the utensils may be standard such as in the form of a spoon, a knife and a fork, or as an alternative the utensils may be in the form of chopsticks. Another option is to include a toothpick that is integrally formed with the food plate yet is also detachable as well.
