Yeah that's definitely unpopular. I could not imagine eating everything cold, like what the fuck?

So when did you find out you had autism?

If you are that concerned about burning your mouth or your tongue on even slightly warm food, I can recommend a really good therapist to help you out on that.

That is a hot take, irony intended.

There’s probably some good scientific reason for eating meat hot. And coffee? I can kinda deal but the tea? Throw it straight out if it’s not piping hot and I don’t care how the Americans take it.

In case you ever want to try eating warm food again, try putting a stone next to the food in the oven. That way the food will be stone cold and warm at the same time.

This is not an insult. Have you taken any tests to see if you may be autistic? If not, you should.

I cannot comprehend this. Seriously, all the more power to you but what the fuck

Possibly the worst opinion here

Upvoted

Upvoted for being dumbass

I think this wins the comm. Even more than the BJ post

I eat a lot of cold meals and this is still wild to me. Definitely an unpopular take.

So, you put all food in the fridge before eating it? Because otherwise it's impossible to cool down below room temperature. 🤓

Upvote for an actual unpopular opinion. Well done.

You must love gazpacho

How does this even work if you eat somewhere that doesn’t have a fridge for you to cool your food below room temperature? What’s wrong with you that you “always” burn your tongue even at nonburning temps?

Objectively and demonstrably wrong. Excellent post.

I feel exactly opposite to this. If I never ate any cold food again it would be too soon.

I think you're tasting a different flavor profile than the rest of us because for instance sugar is less tasteable cold. But that's okay, you enjoy your food whatever way you like it! Also, your way is much easier to deal with than someone who wants their food piping hot. Any delay can overcook or burn their food. Not you! Make ahead, put in fridge, come back anytime between 20 minutes and 24 hours later, it will be nice and cold, safe and unchanged.

How do you "let something cool down" further than room temperature? You can't really let something just sit still and cool more than the ambient temperature, so you must use some form of cooling element, like ice cubes or something.

Or this is bait, I honestly can't tell.

You like your saturated fat stick to your teeth hard. That's fine. Serious question though, how do you stand eating anything high in saturated fat? Or with proteins in liquid that congeal? Or shit waiting for your food's hot emulsions to separate?

Character development for Miisha? Neat!

Everyone’s got quirks, yours are harmless.

I don't eat everything cold, but I like some foods cold and a day old, like pizza, it almost always tastes better than fresh, in my opinion.

Damn! That may be the most unpopular opinion I've seen on this community!

However, you aren't entirely alone. I've known a few people that are right with you. Not many, but enough that I've tried some things cold but fresh, as in putting it in a fridge until it's fully cooled.

Gotta say, I do not share the opinion for the vast majority of foods, and I found that some things are even worse cold than warm (things I didn't like already).

That being said, some soups are nice cold, and some varieties of pizza are as good, though the crust becomes untenable.

THAT being said, you rock on with yo sef. Ain't enough room in the world to be a food snob. You like what you like, and screw what anyone else thinks (just don't do it to them lol)

I don't like food hot enough to burn my mouth, but I definitely far prefer food that's intended to be warm to be warm. I don't hate cold food though and in times of pure laziness, I will eat straight from the fridge instead of heating it up and be fine. Something like a cheeseburger, there's zero chance I'm eating one not at least warm, or like a fettuccine Alfredo where the sauce congeals after it's chilled, hard pass.

You think cereal is better cold?!

There really are a lot of strange people on the internet. 😏 /s

Definitely unpopular. In a strange way I kind of agree about not wanting to burn your mouth, that's horrible and not worth it. I'll sometimes sit and wait for several minutes for my plate to cool if it's steaming hot, even when I'm hungry and other people around me are eating. But there's always a point where it's obviously safe and still nicely warm which is much better than being cold.

Do you think you have some trauma from childhood of parents serving you food too hot and actually burning your mouth?

I just had a lovely meal of tortellini and the thought of it Stone Cold sounds gross.

By the way I could not get the speech to text to write Stone Cold without capitalizing it. Which I kind of like.

This is like the inverse of Hot Grapes

What do you do at restaurants?

You must really like Cold Stone Creamery and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

"Stone cold" usually describes a facial expression, not a temperature.

always letting it cool down way below room temperature

You can't let something cool below room temperature as it would just reach equilibrium at room temperature. You have to actively cool it (like put it in a fridge) to cool it below room temperature.

I love cold Pizza and cold fried chicken. That's where I draw the line unless it's food that is meant to be served cold/room temp.

Stupid question... What do you do with pizza? Isnt melted stringy cheese enjoyable? Why am I asking, I know the answer already. Take my upvote and go

What about drinks?

Erm, so do you have issues with extremes? Because burning your tongue should not happen often and that remains true even if you were eating food hot every time. What you describe as inevitable is something that happens to me like three times a year, only is bothersome for a couple days, and is thoroughly my own fault when it does happen.

Edit: you've caused me think at length about the difference in cold vs hot foods and it's got me alternating between gag reflex and mouth watering. Weird.

Well, I guess you're a lot into salads and meals that were lovingly prepared then put in the fridge for later (and ice cream). Some food must be cooked before consumption, so be sure to cook what must be cooked not to fall ill, even if they require to cool down before you find them to your taste.

But you can't have pea soup stone cold, and pea soup is the highest plane of soup

Weird, definitely, but im not much better. I prefer everything to be room temp. 1-2 mins in the microwave, or sitting on the counter for 10+ minutes after cooking.

I think you maybe have an aversion to bitter tastes or something. I, also unfortunately, love bitter foods

Cold pizza makes me want to vomit. I think most things taste better heated, but I think most people go too hot (my mouth burns easily and nothing has managed to fix that (techniques people recommend, just burning the shit out of my mouth repeatedly (yay, pealing skin constantly!), etc.)).

Cold cans of chili beans at 2 am 🫩 fuck the haters

I'm actually quite similar! I don't willingly eat or drink anything more than a few degrees above room temp.

Stone cold toad

Rice.

But then how can you tell what the Rock is cooking?

Sitting here with my tongue hurting from some hot tea... 🤔

I'm thinking of my favourite foods from past to present and all except boiled eggs are better cold.

Roast meat is best from the fridge

Roast potato is best from the fridge

Custard is best after a couple of days in the fridge

Steak is great the day after cooking

I do disagree and you have my upvote. Just had a nice bowl of chili, pretty hot in both senses of the word, toast and hot coffee for breakfast.

A cool refreshing salad, sure. Sandwich is good cold (except grilled cheese). Cold french fries suck, cold scrambled eggs are horrible.

Thank you for your unsettling opinion.

Correction: some food are better eaten cold. My personal favorite is cold pasta with optional sauce
