Falafel (the ones I make) are sufficiently squishy not to be easily aspirated.
Squishy foods not easily aspirated? Since When? I've heard that marshmallows are the most common thing on which children choke to death and marshmallows are plenty squishy.

Choking is when the airway is blocked, aspiration is when something (normally a fluid) is actually inhaled into the lungs. Small hard objects are the most easily aspirated things because they encounter less friction. So, it's easier to aspirate something hard, and easier to choke on something soft, I believe.

I used to do that at college all the time! What's the point of getting another dish dirty? Especially when you're only cooking for yourself!
Now that I've been married for ... ahem ... a while, and cooking for a family, whenever we get lazy and just pour sauce directly out of the jar onto the noodles, we call it "college spaghetti".

Hell yes, cold. What are you gonna do, microwave the can? Get real! Take that kind of talk to fancy town, Mr. Fancy Pants McGee Von Imasnob!

Well, we drain the noodles, then pour the sauce onto them right in the pot and stir it all up together, so it gets heated up warm enough to eat. And it's not like the sauce was refrigerator-cold to begin with. So it's edible.
It's hard for me to overstate how many of my cooking decisions are based on the number of pots I'll have to get dirty. I hate doing dishes. Love one-dish meals.
