Aren't you getting your stories mixed up? I thought MrsNop tossed a plate. It was Linda Blair in "The Exorcist" who tossed pea soup.
Technically, Hairdog, you are right, it was a plate...but there were peas on the plate.
from the archives: Quote MrsNOP: The infamous foodfilled plate-throwing incident occurred well after we had started on the path to recovery and would still be considered relatively recent history.
