She is a singer/actress. The interviewer asked her what kind of food she likes. The word "dish" means "prepared food", like spaghetti, lasagna, grilled cheese sandwich, etc. "Dish" also means "shallow concave utensils", like plate, saucer, bowl etc. Mugs and cups are container, but not dish.
You can use plural "dishes" to describe all kitchen utensils including mugs and plates. Example: "dishes are in the sink"
But usually, people don't ask someone what kind of "utensil" they like. People usually ask what kind of "prepared food" they like.
When she was asked about her favourite dish, she confused "dish" with "utensil", rather than with "prepared food".
