To the best of my knowledge, the Prophet ﷺ did not take his meals in a big tray at all, nor did he ever eat well-baked thin bread, nor did he ever eat at a dining table.
مَا عَلِمْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَكَلَ عَلَى سُكُرُّجَةٍ قَطُّ وَلاَ خُبِزَ لَهُ مُرَقَّقٌ قَطُّ وَلاَ أَكَلَ عَلَى خِوَانٍ قِيلَ لِقَتَادَةَ فَعَلَى مَا كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ قَالَ عَلَى السُّفَرِ
The Prophet ﷺ never took his meals at a dining table, nor in small plates, and he never ate thin wellbaked bread. (The sub-narrator asked Qatada, "Over what did they use to take their meals?" Qatada said, "On leather dining sheets."
مَا أَكَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى خِوَانٍ وَلاَ فِي سُكْرُجَةٍ وَلاَ خُبِزَ لَهُ مُرَقَّقٌ قُلْتُ لِقَتَادَةَ عَلَى مَا يَأْكُلُونَ قَالَ عَلَى السُّفَرِ
From Qatadah, that Anas said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never ate on a table, nor on small plates, not did he eat thin bread." He (Yunus) said: "I asked Qatadah: 'So what did he eat on ?' He said: 'On these leather dining sheets.'"
مَا أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي خِوَانٍ وَلاَ فِي سُكُرُّجَةٍ وَلاَ خُبِزَ لَهُ مُرَقَّقٌ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِقَتَادَةَ فَعَلَى مَا كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ قَالَ عَلَى هَذِهِ السُّفَرِ
“The Prophet ﷺ never ate from a dish or from an individual plate.” He said: “From where did he eat?” He said: “From the dining sheet.”
مَا أَكَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى خِوَانٍ وَلاَ فِي سُكُرُّجَةٍ قَالَ فَعَلاَمَ كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ قَالَ عَلَى السُّفَرِ
From Qatadah, that Anas said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never ate on a table, nor on small plates, not did he eat thin bread." He (Yunus) said: "I asked Qatadah: 'So what did he eat on ?' He said: 'On these leather dining sheets.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1788)
مَا أَكَلَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى خِوَانٍ وَلَافِي سُكُرُّجَةٍ وَلَا خُبِزَ لَهُ مُرَقَّقٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِقَتَادَةَ فَعَلَامَ كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ؟ قَالَ عَلَى السُّفَرِ
The Prophet ﷺ never took his meals at a dining table, nor in small plates, and he never ate thin wellbaked bread. (The sub-narrator asked Qatada, "Over what did they use to take their meals?" Qatada said, "On leather dining sheets." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5415)
قَالًَ «مَا أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي خِوَانٍ وَلَا سُكُرُّجَةٍ وَلَا خُبِزَ لَه مُرَقَّقٌ» قَالَ وَقُلْتُ لِقَتَادَةَ عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ؟ قَالَ عَلَى السَّفَرِ
اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم عَلَى خِوَانٍ ولاَ أَكَلَ فِي سُكْرُجَةٍ ولاَ خُبِزَ لَهُ مُرَقَّقٌ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ فَعَلامَ كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ قَالَ عَلَى السُّفَرِ
