The arena where your cooking either earns applause or a very honest silence.
means The plates, bowls, and cups you eat off of — the everyday crockery of a table setting.
from A plain compound, 'dish' plus 'ware.' Dish traces back through Old English 'disc' to Latin 'discus' (a flat plate or disc, itself from Greek 'diskos'), while 'ware' comes from Old English 'waru,' meaning goods or merchandise — the same root seen in 'software' and 'hardware.' So dishware is, quite literally, 'disc goods': the manufactured flatware of the table, named with no fuss at all.
