In many Middle Eastern countries, such as Lebanon or Saudi Arabia, it is considered impolite for a host to leave food on a guest's plate. This gesture may be interpreted as a sign of disrespect or that the host did not provide enough food.

Leaving food on the plate can also imply that the meal was inadequate or unappetizing.
References to your plate can be either literal or metaphorical. Literally, your plate is your dinner plate, it is the food you are having for dinner.

Thus, sometimes people will claim to have too much work on their plate.
