A device for suspending from the neck, immediately below the chin, and for minimizing dribbling, dropping, and spilling of food, without use of hands. The device includes a suspender that hooks the neck and a tray that is suspended from the suspender and holds the food. The suspender is tubular and made from a semi-rigid wire that is enclosed in a foam material. The suspender includes a first portion that extends horizontally to a second portion that extends horizontally forwardly from the first portion, to a third portion that extends horizontally from the second portion, to a fourth portion that extends horizontally from the third portion and which define an opening. A fifth portion is pivotally mounted to the fourth portion, by a pivot joint, and extends generally upwardly therefrom in a hook-like fashion for hooking the neck. The pivot joint includes a first collar that is disposed on the fourth portion and a second collar that is disposed on the fifth portion, and which is pivotally mounted to the first collar, by a pivot pin. The tray includes a receptacle that is sized to fit in the opening in the suspender for holding the food, and a flange that extends around the receptacle, and which interchangeably rests on the first through fourth portions of the suspender to prevent the receptacle from falling through the opening in the suspender.
