Teenagers are known for dishing out the dirt, but not quite like this.
Students at a high school in Maine were fed potting soil at a community service event raising money to fight hunger, in a bizarre incident the school called “an unfortunate accident.”
Students at Medomack Valley High School in Waldoboro had baked a batch of potting soil earlier that day during a science class experiment to determine the effect of sterilized soil on plant growth, according to a statement from the school.
“The soil had been placed in a baking dish covered with foil and set off to the side of the stove area, separate from the Empty Bowl Supper food items,” the statement signed by principal Linda Pease read.
Later, in the mad dash to serve guests at the charity dinner, the oven-roasted dirt got mixed in with other food items meant for the meal and was brought out for service.
“Three students briefly put some of the soil in their mouths, believing it to be a dessert item, before immediately realizing what it was,” the school said, adding they “promptly” had the unwanted earthen confection removed from the serving tables.
“This was a completely accidental situation and absolutely not a prank,” the school assured.

Sure thing.
It’s Maine. Somali delicacy.
I came for the fun and stayed for the dirt.
15 miles from where I grew up.... Thankfully I left the state.
Sounds like an old episode of ‘Everybody Loves Raymond”.
Yeah... Sure...
Try the dirt, it's the best in the city.
"I was so confused" said one of the cafeteria workers. "They said I was the best thing they had ever had here, but I knew it was leftovers from lunch time."
It’s what my dad ate, when he was growing up. At least that’s what he always told me.
Leave the dirt. Take the cannoli.

Tasted just like ordinary school cafeteria food.
Yeah... Sure...
Accidental, is dropping your coffee cup. Accidental, is tripping, while entering your home. This was no accident. It was a deliberate choice. How stupid do these idiots think we are?
