I guess you get used to eating your food cold up in the frozen tundra, huh? Can we include beverages? If so, I prefer my tea cold. ---

Ick, I wouldn’t eat ANY of **Mr. Jim’s** list cold. I like my food the temperature that God decided it should be, thank you very much. ---

My mom’s baked beans. Great hot, but amazing when cold. As previously stated, pizza. One clear indication that Domino’s is not really pizza is how unacceptable it tastes cold. Truly good pizza _is_ better cold - Domino’s is barely edible cold… ---

“Pizza – It’s not just for breakfast anymore!” Brownie batter is as good before it’s cooked as after. Refrigerator cookies are _better_ before they’re cooked. ---

Pretty much any type of pasta. And Salmon. But that’s normally served cold isn’t it? ---

Especially the Kraft Dinner! Cold Mac 'n Cheese? Blecchhhh! If I had to think of one, I might say “shrimp.” ---

Chicken the day after it’s been cooked. In the fridge, of course, it’s not like I’d let it sit out all nite 🙂 ---

Pork chops and baked spare ribs. In general, most meat taste just fine cold, but pork chops and spare ribs taste better cold. Mashed potatoes are delicious when they are just barely warm with just barely warm gravy, but not when completely cold. ---

Roast beef, tuna, pizza, shrimp, and ham. What??? Quit looking at me that way! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Munch \* > \*\*“So what **normally heated** foods do you prefer cold?” \*\* Oh. **Crap** :o _Slinks away with head down_ Well dammit, now I have nothing to contribute. Everything that’s heated tastes better warm to me! Some things I like better _lukewarm_ than hot (like Baja Fresh bean burros, mmmmmmm) but that’s as close as I get. One thing that’s not usually eaten cold that I love is Oreos. I always refrigerate my double-stuf oreos. ---

Nothing. If it was meant to be eaten hot, I hate it cold. And that includes pizza, which I refuse to eat cold and will barely tolerate in its reheated state. I don’t even like eating leftovers. They just don’t taste right to me the second time around. Okay. Chicken. Tastes good cold, but I still prefer it hot. 🙂 ---

Stuffing (if I had a dime for every time my mother told me that I was going to get indigestion from eating cold stuffing, Bill Gates would be my paid ass-wiper). ---

The only food I can think of that I actually prefer cold is corned beef pie. ---
