When I refer to “cold meals”, I’m talking about temperature (Cold, cooked meals).
To me, cold meals taste much better compared to hot meals. With chili, for example, the flavor becomes more rich after it has cooled down.
Additionally, cold meals are less messy than hot meals. For instance, melted cheese and grease from meats will harden when refrigerated, thus no longer dirtying the hands.
Finally, consuming hot meals can put you at risk of burning your mouth, causing prolonged pain (which sucks BTW). Cold meals do not have this issue.
IMO, the only benefit hot meals have over cold meals is warming you up and (for some meals) being ready to consume immediately after preparing it.
Yeah, nachos is another meal I don’t think works well cold. At that point, it’s just cheese on tortillas.
Beef foods where the melted beef fat has congealed into waxy chunks of tallow, no thank you. But cooled melted cheese has a nice chew whether it’s on pizza or “just cheese on tortillas.” Maybe not straight from the fridge though. Closer to room temp.
