dishes
Eating vessels and utensils
Dishes are plates, bowls, cups, and other containers used for serving and eating food.
The term often refers specifically to dirty tableware needing washing: Whose turn is it to do the dishes?
A dish is also a prepared food item: a traditional Mexican dish.
To dish is to serve food or, informally, to gossip: She's always dishing about her coworkers.
