ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Small plates

Small plates are like mini versions of regular plates. They are usually used when you want to have just a little bit of food, or if you want to share different kinds of food with other people. Small plates are really good for trying new foods or for having a little bit of everything. And because they are small, you can have more than one without feeling too full. It's like having a little snack, but with lots of different foods all on one plate!
