Is any differences with “dish” and “dishes”? “no lovely dishes, nothing but scraps”, in this sentence,“dishes” is “food”?

Yes, in this case “lovely dishes” means tasty, attractive or appetising plates of food. One dish, plural two dishes. A dish also refers to the plate itself. You may say ,“I’m going to wash the dishes” - do the washing -up.
