Fried oysters...YUM. In your case, I probably would have eaten them
anyway, dirt and all.

Once when I was 19, I made a full plate of spaghetti (pasta with red
sauce). As I was going up the stairs with it, I tripped on a step.
I caught my fall forward with my left hand and managed to keep the plate
level in my right hand but the momentum caused the whole pile of
delicious spaghetti to slide forward...right off the end of the plate
and splat on a step.

It was a carpeted stairway and real mess to clean up.
