I am quoting a forgotten source here, so would like to get solid confirmation or refutation from authoritative sources.

Sam Houston attended a celebratory dinner after the Battle of San Jacinto, and was seated between two distinguished ladies, dressed in their best finery. Sam piled his plate high, topping it with a dipper of steaming rice. He jammed his spoon into the steaming rice at the apex of the mountain of food on his plate, taking a big mouthful.

Scalded, he spat out the mouthful with great force, depositing much of the sticky mouthful on himself and the dresses of the ladies at his sides, to their obvious horror. “Many a durned fool woulda swallered that!” exclaimed Sam. Earthfireh2o (talk) 01:55, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
