The plate lunch (Hawaiian: pā mea ʻai) is a quintessentially Hawaiian meal, roughly analogous to Southern U.S. meat-and-threes.

Consisting of meat, a gravy-covered starch, a pair of vegetable sides, and a simple piece of bread — and often all served on a single plate — the plate lunch emphasizes speed, affordability, and caloric heft.

A Dole Whip can be a healthy dessert choice. Since it is made with pineapple, it adds in some fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is also lower in calories than your traditional ice cream. That being said, it does have a decent amount of sugar added, and something to be mindful of.

It is believed that the first tableware was used by the ancient Greeks, who used it to serve food and decorate their dining tables. Over the centuries, tableware evolved in different cultures around the world, with Japanese china being particularly popular in recent times.

In the early to mid-17th century, the meal could be any time between late morning and mid-afternoon. During the late 17th and 18th centuries, this meal was gradually pushed back into the evening, creating a greater time gap between breakfast and dinner. A meal called lunch came to fill the gap.

And on NPR, food historian Helen Zoe Veit points out that in the past, especially in farming communities, the noon meal was the biggest one of the day. Which would explain why, in certain parts of the south, the word 'dinner' has persisted as a reference to the noon, rather than evening, meal.

"Lunch was a very rare word up until the 19th Century," he says. One theory is that it's derived from the word "nuncheon", an old Anglo-Saxon word which meant a quick snack between meals that you can hold in your hands. It was used around the late 17th Century, says Yeldham.
