I do the exact same thing with 1-2 year olds who think it's awesome to throw their cups, bowls, plates and food onto the floor.
This is what I would do too. If he started complaining when I remove the plate and told him he was finished then I would offer him some more of what he just had again just to see if he changed his mind.

I read somewhere that it takes a child about 20-30 times to try a food before they can really decided whether or not they really like it, especially if it's something that he isn't getting much of at home. I'd just keep trying to offer it again and again. If after 30 times he still doesn't like it (and he's not just doing it to all food, only to a small amount of specific foods) then I'd be fine with not offering it to him anymore, but he'd still get it served and he still had to eat everything else on his plate.
