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.

    Fresh pizza and cold pizza are basically two completely different meals. They’re both great, but out of every food I’ve eaten the temp changes pizza the most imo

        IKR. Pizza is at its best when it’s cold. If I could, i would order all of my pizzas cold. I can’t stand the melted cheese and grease getting everywhere, and potentially burning my mouth.
