DISH: The American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "dish / plate"
PLATE or DISH:
Show the perimeter of the dish.
Sample sentence: EAT FINISH, CUP, DISH, PUT S-I-N-K YOU?
PLATE or DISH: (variation)
Some people move their index fingers and thumbs around the outer edge of an imaginary dish.
It is the same sign as the one above, but the extra movement is sometimes helpful to make the sign more clear.

PLATE or DISH (variation):
In this version, your handshape is "L" and the hands move slightly downward.
