That's just a difference in how it is though about. Many plates, especially older style plates, have a concave part where you put the food and a rim around the edge. We still say on a plate, because it is mostly flat, but I don't know if you would find it inconsistent if you had always been taught to say in.

Since we haven't learned about pronunciation, and I doubt both the audio and my own ears: would there be a difference in pronunciation between 'nelle' and 'mele'? (Apart from the n/m, obviously). In Dutch for example the vowel sounds different when followed by two consonants rather than one, is it like that in Italian as well?
