soggy food
Overly moist eating
Food that has absorbed too much moisture and lost its intended texture—soft, limp, and unpleasantly saturated.
The term applies especially to things meant to be crisp or firm: soggy fries, soggy cereal, soggy pizza crust.
Sogginess in food is almost always a fault, suggesting it sat too long or was stored improperly.
