Abstract:
1. A food-presentation system, the food-presentation system for radially sectioning and displaying a container-prepared food preparation in a plurality of food sections, the food-presentation system comprising, in combination: a food preparation container, the food preparation container comprising a circular container bottom and a peripheral container wall, the container wall being integrally formed to the container bottom extending upwardly therefrom and comprising a container angle of inclination relative to the container bottom; a container-borne food preparation, the food preparation being form-prepared in the food preparation container, the food preparation comprising a food bottom, a peripheral food wall, a superior food surface, and a blade-sliceable bulk food portion, the bulk food portion being bound by the food bottom, food wall, and food surface, the food wall extending upwardly and outwardly from the food bottom at a food angle of inclination, the food angle of inclination being equal in magnitude to the container angle of inclination; a blade assembly, the blade assembly comprising a first substantially planar, laterally orientable cutting blade and a second substantially planar, longitudinally orientable cutting blade, the orientable cutting blades comprising opposing ornamental blade surfaces and being hingedly joined to one another about a common axis for enabling a user to selectively vary blade angles, the variable blade angles extending intermediate the orientable cutting blades, the first and second cutting blades for vertically sectioning the food preparation from the food surface to the food bottom intermediate adjacent food portions; and a force-imparting handle assembly, the force-imparting handle assembly comprising downwardly-directed blade-engaging structure and upwardly directed manually operable handle assembly structure, the blade-engaging structure comprising radially extending blade-receiving grooves, the handle assembly structure comprising a hand-grip portion and handle assembly-release means, the hand-grip portion being substantially parallel to the handle assembly-release means and orthogonal to the blade-receiving grooves, the blade-receiving grooves receiving the orientable cutting blades thereby fixing the variable blade angles, the fixed variable blade angles being equal in magnitude, the handle assembly release means selectively attaching the force-imparting handle assembly to the blade assembly, the hand grip portion enabling a user to manually impart vertically directed forces to the blade assembly, the food preparation being sectioned into a plurality of food sections via the downwardly directed orientable cutting blades, the orientable cutting blades thus corralling the food sections, each food section comprising at least two vertical, substantially planar adjacent section walls, and an arcuately angled section wall, the downwardly directed cutting blades thereby providing planar barriers between the corralled food sections and matter external to the corralled food sections, at least one select food section being removable from the food preparation container for creating a section vacancy, the planar barriers for preventing the bulk food portions from entering the section vacancy, the ornamental blade surfaces for providing at least one ornamentally-bound section vacancy, the food presentation assembly thus sectioning the food preparation and displaying a portion thereof.
