glops

Shapeless food servings

Glops is the plural of glop—shapeless, gooey masses of something, often unappetizing: The cafeteria lady dropped glops of mashed potatoes onto each tray.

The word suggests messiness and lack of form, applied to thick liquids, pastes, or any substance that lands with a wet splat.
