Technically yes, as long as none of it is chipped, or gets chipped during use.

Is that uranium glass?
You guessed it.
Hopefully there's still enough rads to keep stuff like salmonella out of the food
Ironically, it's not the radiation that makes uranium dangerous here. Uranium is a heavy metal, and toxic in its own right. Enough can transfer to the food to give heavy metal poisoning, akin to eating off of plates with lead paint.
Whoa, that's one unexpected silver lining.
Plates with dividers from grown ass people is the worst here
To be fair smoking a cigarette will put more radioactive contamination in you than these plates.

Looks like it's being lit with a black light
I don't know if this is real, but real uranium glass just glows (although it is not this brightly unless the light is fairly low). I have a tiny bit on a keychain somewhere.
I used to keep it in my pocket as my normal keychain and joke that it would stop me from having kids.
It apparently didn't.
Not quite,
Radioactive substances don't actually glow visibly themselves...
Uranium glass fluoresces under UV, and tritium vials and radium paint contain phosphers that convert radiation to visible light.

Well all I know is I could see my keychain glow in the dark and it claimed to be uranium.
I guess whatever is in it isn't uranium then. π€·
Looks like a black light overhead causing everything fluorescent to glow.
Edit: Not even just looks like. That's exactly what it is.
Well yeah; to see the glowing effect of Uranium glass, you need to put it under a UV light.
If you don't reach critical mass, did you even feast?
Eggs at thanksgiving??? No. It's not safe. It's going to cause stinky farts in the house, at max capacity! 200 people, all egg farting in one house???
Pretty sure you need gas masks.
Why do so many people get gassey eating eggs? I can eat over a dozen deviled eggs in one sitting and not have a single issue
Username checks out
It helps that eggs are a large part of my diet. I just fuckin love eggs.
yeah, because everyone else has an issue with your weird farts, Ted.

Me & my date at the sublime Xbox restaurant I franchise with a portion of my ample fortune
My wife collects uranium glass. Itβs mostly safe. Most uranium glass has very little uranium in it and that is mostly sealed away within the glass. However, like lead crystal glass, very very very tiny amounts can leach out over time and end up in food or drink. The amount that can leach out like this is not going to cause any problems for you. Still, wash before and after use to further minimize contamination and donβt used chipped or scratched glass that could shed larger particles.
I wouldnβt use them as my every day plates but for special occasions itβs a fun conversation starter.

That's ... way too much "mostly" for my taste.
