Suppose an English teacher was up the front of class and she was getting the students to think about the word "have". Supposed she asked "what do you have?" The default construal of this would be that the question is one of possession, either as in a) below as a question of owned possessions or physical attributes as in b):
a) I have a cat (= I own/possess a cat)
b) I have a big nose (= I possess a big nose)
Both are stative situations.
The answer in a) can refer to possessions currently with them at their desk or not (as in a) above where the cat is most likely at home, but could be at school on a show-and-tell day):
c) I have a blue pen
Since our present discussion revolves around eating, here's another possible answer to the question:
d) I have a plate of dinner
This can only be construed that a plate with the student's dinner is on their desk or at least in their immediate vicinity at the moment of speaking. Again, the construal is stative.
However, suppose the teacher were to ask "What do you have at Maxim's?" This could be answered in a few ways, for example:
e) I have a large plate of chips
Notice how the construal by the student is as a question asking about what the student usually orders at Maxim's, ie it is a question as to what they usually eat. ...
