"Spill" is also used for solid foods. In some circumstances, "drop" seems to be a better choice. For example: >Oops! I dropped my hamburger. >Dude, why are you so clumsy? You spilled all your food on my notebook. From [Cambridge Dictionary](http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/spill) >**Spill:** to (cause to) flow, move, fall, or spread over the edge or outside the limits of something: >>*I spilled coffee on my silk shirt. >>You've spilled something down your tie. >>Let's see if I can pour the juice into the glass without spilling it. >>He dropped a bag of sugar and it spilled all over the floor. >>Crowds of fans spilled onto the field at the end of the game.* From [thefreedictionary](http://www.thefreedictionary.com/spill): >To cause or allow (a substance) to run or fall out of a container. You can also say: >Be careful, don't spoil your food.
