What cold or room-temp foods do you like warm or hot? I like a hot glass of milk. And cookies / cake tastes better after a few seconds in the microwave. ---

Ham & cheese sammich in the microwave. Cover with ketchup. Devour messily. A poor substitute for the classic grilled h&c, but quicker and with less cleanup afterwards (that’s if you’re not TOO messy with the ketchup). ---

Pretty much any sandwich involving lunch meats I have to eat hot. ---

I like to put cake and ice cream in the micro for a few seconds. ---

Hot Crystal Lite Lemonade. Don’t look at me like that. Go try it. ---

Cheating really but I recently lost my tablet taking ability. Usually I just chuck them all (8 each morning) in a plastic cup, throw them in my mouth and just gulp them down with a glass of water. In fact since I was a child I was able to take single tablets without water - just stick it on my tongue and swallow. Recently I lost the knack and started gagging on my tablets and have had to take them one at a time. A few days ago I accidentally filled my glass with **warm** water and was able to swill my tablets down like before. I now use warm water all the time. ---

Cheese. I have been known to melt cheese before eating it. ---

I like everything hot. I generally cannot stand cold food of any kind. I even like my ice cream over something hot like a cookie or a brownie. The things my wife thinks I’m weirdest for eating hot are cake, pudding (especially banana pudding with 'nilla wafers), and potato salad. ---

Borscht. (I know it’s not totally unorthodox to server borscht hot, but most folks think of it as cold soup. Screw that. It’s better hot) ---

Where should I start? Potato salad, pasta salad, regular salad, pie, rice pudding (is rice pudding supposed to be eaten cold?), applesauce, most sandwiches, etc, etc. I don’t really like cold food. I also prefer hot beverages, except in summer. ---

I have to agree with a couple of other people here: There is no sweeter pleasure in this world than hot vanilla pudding. Sweet baby Jesus, is that good. I’ll have pudding cups or instant pudding, but I don’t much care for them. Hot, fresh pudding straight off the stove is my preference. I’m also a big fan of hot lemonade. ---

I’m also a fan of hot potato salad. My mom makes the best potato salad in the world, and I always make sure to snag a bowl before it goes into the fridge. ---

Salsa. I get strange looks in Mexican restaurants when they bring the chips and salsa and I ask them to heat the salsa; but that’s just me. ---

Snickers Bars. Pop one in the microwave for a few seconds, then eat it with a spoon. ---
