“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

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
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
