small plate

depending on the context "small plate" may have several meanings

Small Plate most commonly refers to a plate filled with a small amount of food, which the person intends to refill several times before the end of the meal.

At a restaurant a Small Plate is a nicely presented dish of culinary delights which is so tiny that it's sure to leave you starving for more. It also costs exponentially more than the actual value of the food.

Small Plate may also mean a snack chosen out of lack for better options and a larger plate with more delicious food should follow shortly.
"This party sure has some bomb ass food, i think ill get a small plate, would u like me to grab one for you too or are you just gonna go for it?"

"We have a special today, its a small plate, and comes with a bite of local cheese and one organically grown nut, for only $8.95"

"I guess ill have this small plate of leftovers while the feast is being prepared"

N. A person with the odd dining habit of eating each item on their plate in its entirety before rotating the plate and eating the next one.
I was a plate-turner as a child: had to eat all of my pork chop first, then all of the green beans, then the mashed potatoes, rotating the plate each time so the next food item was directly in front of me.
