portion
When used as a noun for food, "portion" refers to the specific amount on a plate. It is different from a "serving," which is often a standard measurement (like one cup) listed in a recipe. As a verb, "portion" is less common than "divide" or "split." It is most often used in formal contexts, such as legal documents regarding the division of property or inheritance.
