paper plate
Throwaway dining surface
A paper plate is a disposable plate made from paper or thin cardboard, used for casual meals, picnics, and parties where washing dishes would be impractical: We grabbed paper plates for the barbecue.
They're cheap and convenient but flimsy—prone to buckling under heavy or wet food.
