Can you explain the difference between the words: food, meal and dish?
Thanks
Sylva
Hi Sylva,
Food is something that people and animals eat, or plants absorb, to keep them alive:
A meal is an occasion when food is eaten, or the food which is eaten on such an occasion:baby food
cat food
plant food
There was lots of food and drink at the party.
I'm allergic to certain foods.
A dish is food prepared in a particular way as part of a meal:a hot meal
a three-course meal
a heavy (= large) meal
a light (=
small) meal
I have my main meal at midday.
You must come round for a meal sometime.
a chicken/vegetarian dish
"The food I ate for my main meal today was a chicken dish."
Hope this helps
Matt

I have always wondered about their differences. Many people think they all have the same meaning but it is wrong. Thanks for letting us know about this. A digital content writer that I know once wrote about it.
