A large serving dish or platter, especially one used in Scottish cuisine; a broad, shallow dish for presenting food.
From French 'assiette' (plate or platter), which ultimately comes from Old French 'asseoir' (to seat or set)—borrowed into Scottish English.
The Scottish word 'ashet' is a beautiful example of how French Norman vocabulary penetrated English through the upper classes—the fancy French word for a dish became a everyday Scottish kitchen term.
