food stains
Spilled dinner marks
Food stains are marks left on fabric, surfaces, or teeth by food or drink.
The term usually implies unwanted discoloration that's difficult to remove: The tablecloth was covered in food stains.
Some stains—grease, tomato sauce, red wine, coffee—are notoriously stubborn.
Food stains on clothing suggest messiness or carelessness, which is why people worry about them at formal meals.
