Shallow dishes for food (6)

I believe the answer is:

plates

(Other definitions for plates that I've seen before include "Eating utensils of staple kind" , "Strange staple for crockery items" , "Flat dishes" , "They're on the table" , "Staple for food containers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
