What a lovely problem to solve! :-)

I guess I'd use some kind of pie or something else that is served in small units, but not so small that you would put several on one plate. There shouldn't be any chance for leftovers. So I would be able to put the poison in one particular piece of pie and this would be the pie I could easily refuse to eat myself, because I-don't-eat-meat OR I-hate-greens OR I'm-on-a-special-diet. A filling which the to-be-poisoned person would of course *love* to eat. This would also explain why I had to mark the different pies to tell them apart. ;-)

A second helping should consist of totally un-poisoned pies, just in case there would be leftovers.

I'm no expert on dishwashers, though. But I guess with some strong detergent or acid one should be able to clean almost everything. For a more detailed answer on the detection of small traces, please consult Scotland Yard. :-)
