It's normal, but maddening behaviour. Give her half an hour then that's it, clean up and then on to something else. Then offer afternoon tea for 15 minutes etc. Make sure the food is small bite sized pieces, otherwise it can be daunting for them.

My DD did exactly the same- must be an age thing.
In the end I gave her her own fork (plastic ofcourse) and she would try to fed herself and everynow and then I would give her abit off my fork. Seems to work at the moment.

Yep we had that here too....very frustrating.
My best bit of advice is don't stress about it. The more attention it gets (good or bad) the longer it's likely to persist. I would just clean it up and not say anything.
Interestingly my little guy is a very tactile kid. Different textures either make him happy or freak him out. At that age they're still exploring and discovering too.

YAY just wanted to share that she ate all her dinner tonight without spitting any out. I am so happy!!!

I would suggest going back to basics and giving her finger food. So she can feed herself at her leisure. We had the same thing with DD and this is what we did and it worked.
ETA: And YAY that it seems to be resolved.
