Food meal dish
Food is everything you can eat. We all eat food. I like food that is spicy. The baby would not eat the food. We cannot survive without food or water
Meal is breakfast, lunch dinner. Typically cultures have three meals a day. Some people only eat one meal per day. A meal is a designated time for eating food.
Dish: A specialty food at the meal. Example: my mom cooked my favorite dish for my birthday: Lasagne. I prepared a vegan dish for my vegan guest.
I liked the meal (the whole dinner) but I did not like the first dish because I do not like fish. But overall, the food was good
