large plates
Oversized serving ware
Large plates is a casual term for the style of restaurant dining where dishes are served in full individual portions, as distinguished from small plates meant for sharing.
The phrase emerged as a retronym once small plates became trendy: I'm not in the mood for tapas—let's find somewhere with large plates.
