Thanks for asking this age-old riddle! I had a thought about it and the answer is a plate. We buy a plate to eat food with it, but we never actually eat it!
Of course, this answer can be different in some cultures e.g. in China, we can also say the answer can be Chopsticks or even forks and spoons in English cultures.
It is also interesting to note however, that in medieval Europe, before the introduction of China plates and pottery, people used to use Breads as plates. So after finishing their supper, they would also eat their 'plates'. Imagine that! Hope this was interesting for you
