I don’t care what y’all think. Nothing about my food being hot or even warm makes it any better for me. I always burn tongue and even if I don’t, I really don’t enjoy rushing to swallow because my mouth is at risk of inflicting pain. Even when it’s slightly warm, I don’t like it. I want my food stone cold, no matter what the food is.
I always let my food cool down, not even to room temperature, I let it cool even longer and I eat everything stone cold. It lets me properly savor the flavor, without worrying about too much heat. Eating cold food for me is a relaxing experience, eating hot food is a panic-inducing one, and eating slightly warm food is boring, not any better than stone cold food. I’ll even gladly eat food straight out of the fridge and enjoy it! I’ve been called “crazy” and “perverse” for this many, many times.
I like my food stone cold and refuse to eat it even mildly warm, always letting it cool down way below room temperature. Screw what anyone thinks 😆

Yeah that’s definitely unpopular. I could not imagine eating everything cold, like what the fuck?
Sue me
I do indeed eat everything cold. I get soo much shit from my bf for that 😂I used to get ripped on for eating Chunky soup from a can on construction sites.
The caveat it, during winter you need warm food to get your body temp back up, but spring to fall, fair game.

No I don’t. My preference for stone cold food never changes. Not even during winter, idgaf
I’m not gonna have hypothermia on the job, sorry. Same sorta reasoning as not wanting to burn your toungue. It’s for your (my) safety.
You clearly don’t work in the absolute freezing cold like this person does…
Haaaate cold food when it’s not ice cream or fruit.
So when did you find out you had autism?
A single visit Stone Cold Creamery must of triggered it.
Now that’s a new and unique villain origin story.
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?
Sensory differences are a thing. Although I doubt OP literally “burns” their tongue on luke-warm foods, it’s possible OP has a sensory difference that makes warm food more difficult to tolerate, or possibly even painful.
For me, my brain interprets certain light touches as “painful.” I can tolerate having my hairs pulled out one-by-one and feel fine, but touch me in the wrong spot with a feather and I’ll scream. I can easily imagine other people may have crossed wires in their nervous system somewhere that make certain temperature sensations on a sensitive tongue feel painful.
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.
I’m currently switching therapists, so not talking to one at the moment. However, I’m almost positive I have some form of OCD, not just because of this.
Possibly the worst opinion here

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.
Yeah, umm…coffe and tea both. Stone cold, just like my food 😆
Not even joking…Most foods taste more when at least warm. Notice I said more, not better.
That’s because once things get cooler, scent molecules don’t hit your nose as well, and fat soluble flavors aren’t as available to the tongue. Whether or not that’s “better” is subjective, but you can test it out fairly easily
What about iced coffee? People love that stuff, and she’s prolly no different.
My wife likes iced coffee, too. I’ve tried it, I don’t hate it… but it isn’t for me. Not knocking those who do like it. I just prefer hot.
There’s also cold brew, but I’m not sure if cold brew is meant to be drank cold, or if it’s just brewed cold and it gets heated up. I imagine the former. That’s probably fine too.
I’m the opposite on coffee and tea. Definitely prefer both really warm, but not hot, I don’t like either cold, but I like cold coffee less than I like cold tea. I will finish them as a punishment for letting them get cold though.
Upvote for an actual unpopular opinion. Well done.
I cannot comprehend this. Seriously, all the more power to you but what the fuck
So, you put all food in the fridge before eating it? Because otherwise it’s impossible to cool down below room temperature. 🤓
Outside is often colder than the rooms we live in
Actually, yeah, I do that a lot. My bf yells at me for putting hot lasagna in the fridge for hours at a time…
putting hot lasagna in the fridge for hours at a time…
Deranged. You could literally cause food to spoil early doing this.
Yep. I am indeed deranged. You think I don’t know that?
Apparently because every information source available will tell you to never do that and you seem proud of doing it?
Do I seem proud of doing it? Cause I’m not, that’s for sure. I’m just dumb
My brother in Christ this is a place for unpopular opinions don’t be upset to see people post their unpopular opinions and also stand by their opinions it’s literally the point of this whole community
My brother in Satan don’t assume you know my feelings. I can find something horrifying in an abstract sense without being upset
“my brother in Christ” is a meme phrase. Also it’s not saying you’re literally Jesus’s brother.
I’m just saying you’re criticizing someone for doing the point of the community, that’s kinda dumb.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing your stone cold truth!
You must love gazpacho
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.
How do you “let something cool down” further than room temperature?
Fridge
Not bait
Ah yes. But how come it gets warm in the first place? You put it in the fridge after cooking I guess? You don’t eat the raw ingredients, right? That would be even more astonishing 😅
You put it in the fridge after cooking I guess?
Yes…sometimes
I’ll be honest…yes, sometimes I do eat “raw” ingredients. Not ones that are actually dangerous to eat, but just yesterday, I found a pack of pre-cooked, vacuum-sealed ramen noodles in dad’s fridge. I should’ve boiled them to heat them up…but they were pre-cooked, okay? So, umm…I just unpacked them, took out the solid slab of cold noodles and started biting into that…
Not bad at all, I must say! Good snacc, would eat again :3By now, you should have realized, I am NOT normal
Hey, what is normal these days. Enjoy your food, and surround yourself with people who don’t judge.
I think it’s freaking weird, but I wouldn’t unfriend you over this thing. This thing wouldn’t hurt our theoretical friendship. Eat how you wanna eat. Bon appetit!
Friendship? 👀
Matrix, by any chance? 😆 (the messenger/protocol, not the movie)Thank youu :3
I do not have Matrix unfortunately. 🫣 I don’t have much time to maintain online relationships these days. I mostly scroll and comment here. 😊 But feel free to write me here anytime you want to chat!
This is like the inverse of Hot Grapes
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.
That’s pretty much me, yeah!
My dad has to have piping hot food and I hate him for it. He always forces me to eat hot pizza straight from the oven and I always burn my tongue. He’s awful…To be fair, he’s a lifelong soldier (78 now). I guess being in the military does make you appreciate hot food…but keep your preferences to yourself, old man 😭
Unless he’s shoving it in your mouth he can’t force you. If he does, that’s physical abuse. If it’s verbal bullying, say something like “I don’t want to ruin everyone’s meal with this arguing. I’ll see you all later” and leave the room. If it’s a restaurant just don’t say anything, sit quietly with your slice cooling on your plate and let him embarrass himself by ranting at you in public.
You can just have salad for dinner
If the pizza is homemade, try “I can appreciate your cooking better if I haven’t burned my taste buds and I’m eating it at the temperature I prefer.” If it’s delivery, meet the guy outside and set your slice aside to cool.
Well…about that…
He pulls the pizza (frozen, store-bought) out of the oven, sets it on a wooden cutting board, and says “EAT” very loudly, in my general direction. I don’t, because it’s fucking hot, I can tell with just my fingers. When I tell him it’s too hot, he literally yells “EAT IT WHILE IT’S HOT” at me and seems…tbh, irrationally pissed off. When I protest further, he calls me “Perverse”. When he’s eating it himself…istg his mouth is already pre-burnt, because he’s clearly burning his mouth (watery eyes, strange slurping noises, ew), but he just keeps eating it? As soon as he sits down? Strange…
I can handle being yelled at (less so with HRT now), but when he does this to my brother, it really pisses me off. There is literally zero to be such a massive douchebag TOWARDS YOUR OWN CHILDREN nonetheless. It’s just…idk. He’s 78, I’m 20 and my brother is 16. Sure, there’s a huge generational difference, but I swear sometimes it feels like he’s from a different planet.
And he’s generally very progressive and liberal, but sometimes his brain’s “empathy center” shuts down and he goes full (pardon me) “logical man-mode”, where feelings don’t exist and the only thing that does is solving a problem, logically without considering anyone’s emotions. And he gets really monotone, he yells, he mocks people…he’s not fun to be around :/
But he also supports me financially, going to great lengths to ensure we have what we need. Without him, I wouldn’t be able to get bottom surgery in Thailand…I’m really totally rambling, I’m sorry. Just need to get it out sometimes.
Tism can run in the family
I feel exactly opposite to this. If I never ate any cold food again it would be too soon.
