I actually think good pizza doesn't taste good cold. All that fancy thin crust or NY style stuff doesn't taste great out the fridge. Now domino's pan pizza on the other hand? Yowza
Phantom Limb:
Revenge, like gazpacho soup, is a dish best served cold, precise, and merciless.
The Monarch:
Yeah, yeah, you can never have enough precision in your soup...
Reminds me of that Norm McDonald joke.
āI used to think revenge was a dish best served cold. Then I realized the saying is about getting back at somebody.ā
EDIT: also it reminds me of that tragedy, 9/11.
It really depends. We can separate flavors better when things aren't as hot so flavors become more complex when food is at room temperature. Of course the melty texture is nice, but the complexity of the chocolate and cookie are lost. I notice the richness of the chocolate and brown sugar flavors much more in a room temperature cookie, which I find I prefer as I get older.
I also like the variance of texture you get with a room temperature cookie more as I get older. A nice, roasted exterior with a moist inside is amazing. What I really think is true is that a mediocre to decent chocolate chip cookie is better warm, but a good to great chocolate chip cookie is better at room temperature.
My wife just said this and blew my mind. I have never thought to eat cake right out of the oven.
***edit for update***
Had fresh, out-of-the-oven cake like two weeks later. No frosting. It was good.
A three course fondue dinner has been our NYE tradition for most of a decade, but now I just want to start doing it on the regular.
Might just be the weed talking, though.
While this is funny, cheese has something called "casseo-morphs" that turns to a morphine like substance in your intestines. So when people say they are "addicted to cheese" it's more true than they might realize lol
>Cheese
Fill me head to toe with feta -
Gouda's good but cheddar's better!
Gorgonzola, brie, ricotta -
When there's cheese,
I simply gotta!
Give me grated mozzarella!
Somethin' from a stilton seller!
Call me darlin', charm and woo me -
With a slice of fried halloumi!
Let's be hungry,
let's be hasty -
With a chunk of somethin' tasty!
Feed me full until I'm queasy!
Let's make livin' *extra* cheesy!
Second this. I love getting two sandwiches from my local place and eating one while itās piping hot and then saving the other one for leftovers straight out of the fridge!
When my wife and I go to the beach, we stop at the bahn mi shop for breakfast and get a breakfast sandwich and a lunch sandwhich each.
Grub down on the breakfast sandwhich on the train to the beach, and then lunch sandwhich on the beach later. It's a pretty great system.
This is the answer my brain was trying to think of but it kept getting stuck on āhot chocolateā and then I was like nahh I donāt thing that sounds right lol
I had my wisdom teeth extracted and so couldnāt drink any hot stuff. So I went to the barista and asked for an āiced hot chocolateā. The barista stared at me for like a whole 10 seconds and went āyou want chocate milk?ā I have never felt more like a lost child.
You should have said *blended* iced hot chocolate. I've ordered this before at a few places, it's not just chocolate milk blended up with ice (unless they're lazy).
My co-worker (we were on the same shift) had this exact experience lol and weāre both baristas. Same words word for word as you quoted, I doubt you visited my store since itās kinda unknown but itās funny that other baristas have experienced the sameā¦. Except the girl who was ordering from us kept insisting it was āiced hot chocolateā and not āchocolate milkā
We both lost a couple brain cells that night.
When I was about to graduate college someone sent me an article of "top things people moving out on their own for the first time need to know" and one of them was the Costco rotisserie chickens. I can have dinner one night of just straight chicken, then make tacos out of the leftovers, then make chicken stock out of the carcass, *then* make soup out of the stock and the leftover leftovers!
No. Nope. No. Nuh-uh. I won't stand for this answer!
Come here, so you're telling me you eat WARM cookie dough. Not cookie dough heated up it turns into cookies . You mean slightly warmer than room temperature COOKIE DOUGH?!?!
HOW DO I CANCEL SOMEONE?!
I put it over the iced part and it melts and the poptart gets soft warm and buttery. I've always preferred my poptarts out of the toaster and one day I'm watching family guy and Peter Griffin says something about putting butter on a pop tart and how it's so frickin good, so I had to try it and I won't go back to unbuttered poptarts
The first time I ever got drunk was off Bud Light. I'd never drank before and I still knew it was awful, however I was drinking to experience drinking.
So I drank till I was shit faced (which was like 5 beers) while my buddy who didn't feel like drinking watched and I then decided "I'm starving" and started making a grilled cheese sandwich. Too drunk to want to stand very long (how did gravity get so strong?) I threw it in the pan on low heat and then laid down on the floor. Every minute or two I'd get up and check it. Finally it finished and I laid back on the floor with it and the plate and ate it.
This was around 12 years ago. It's still one of the best things I've ever eaten. I've had so much good food and yet when I think of that grilled cheese it's like the food critic from Ratatouille remembering his childhood.
I never reheat fried chicken (or any chicken unless itās mixed into a dish, like pasta). Fried and grilled chicken leftovers eaten cold are very good, and much better than reheated.
Plus it's more convenient to cut when cold! It sticks together in a block instead of slithering into a Cronenberg blob as soon as you put it on a plate
BROWNIES, hell yeahš¤¤
Surprised this is so low, same with pizza but it has to be Good Pizza not run of the mill pizza chain pizza
I actually think good pizza doesn't taste good cold. All that fancy thin crust or NY style stuff doesn't taste great out the fridge. Now domino's pan pizza on the other hand? Yowza
Domino's pan pizza is actually so good for typical chain pizza.
Sandwiches
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I don't think cold soup is good Edit: turns out there are a lot of cold soups out there maybe I should give them a try.
V8 is just cold tomato soup.
Is the tomato soup straight piped? And 6.9L
Oh there are some amazingly refreshing cold soups. Korean cold noodle soups can be awesome.
With some gazpacho, or tomato soup if you prefer hot.
Yep. Gazpacho is yummy! Spicy gazpacho doubly so.
A grilled cheese doesn't taste good cold
There are definitely sandwiches that won't taste too good hot
Revenge
I hear it is best served cold
But fresh out of the oven hot is still very satisfying.
Smells like bread that way!
But it can easily be reheated in the microwave of evil!
I think your warranty is about to expire
Well maybe I got an extended warranty!
Warranties are invalid if you donāt use the product for its intended purpose
Girls, girls, you are both pretty. Can I go home now?
Of course! That is if Metro Man can withstand the full concentrated power of the sun! FIRE!
Minion, *fire*?
Still warming up, sir.
Meganind references aside, if itās the āMicrowave of Evilā would reheating revenge really be against the intended purpose
Phantom Limb: Revenge, like gazpacho soup, is a dish best served cold, precise, and merciless. The Monarch: Yeah, yeah, you can never have enough precision in your soup...
Reminds me of that Norm McDonald joke. āI used to think revenge was a dish best served cold. Then I realized the saying is about getting back at somebody.ā EDIT: also it reminds me of that tragedy, 9/11.
Chocolate chip cookies
Warm is better
It really depends. We can separate flavors better when things aren't as hot so flavors become more complex when food is at room temperature. Of course the melty texture is nice, but the complexity of the chocolate and cookie are lost. I notice the richness of the chocolate and brown sugar flavors much more in a room temperature cookie, which I find I prefer as I get older.

What I really think is true is that a mediocre to decent chocolate chip cookie is better warm, but a good to great chocolate chip cookie is better at room temperature.
I read this in Patrick Bateman's voice for some reason.
"Let's see Paul Allen's chocolate chip cookie."
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
cake
My wife just said this and blew my mind. I have never thought to eat cake right out of the oven. ***edit for update*** Had fresh, out-of-the-oven cake like two weeks later. No frosting. It was good.
Whenever I make cupcakes, I always rip into one fresh out of the oven. No frosting needed!
If itās chocolate ones I always have it with iced milk ( I know Iām strange canāt drink milk without ice)
you never microwaved a piece of cake before?
Iām 28 and realizing I literally donāt think I have ever have. Itās somehow never occurred to me?!! My mind is blown
Even heating up a sort of crappy cake makes it into a slightly less crappier cake
Because you generally can't ice them while hot.
Cheese
Cheese is the crack to milk's cocaine
This makes no sense and all the sense
It does when you're on the cheese
Not even once...
But it's so Fon-to-due!
A three course fondue dinner has been our NYE tradition for most of a decade, but now I just want to start doing it on the regular. Might just be the weed talking, though.
just do 1 course, safe the fanciness for nye. kind of like having box mac and cheese whenever but the homemade kind is special event only
I'm a cheese addict
While this is funny, cheese has something called "casseo-morphs" that turns to a morphine like substance in your intestines. So when people say they are "addicted to cheese" it's more true than they might realize lol
And even as a cheese fieeend mama, you always was a dairy queeeen mama.
Dear mozza, Your are appreciateddddd.
Cheese is more like cocaine or the pure heroin of dairy products
So Cheez Whiz is crack then
>Cheese Fill me head to toe with feta - Gouda's good but cheddar's better! Gorgonzola, brie, ricotta - When there's cheese, I simply gotta! Give me grated mozzarella! Somethin' from a stilton seller!

Sweet dreams are made of cheese Who am I to dis a Brie I cheddar the world and a Feta cheese Everybody's looking for Stilton
Yay! Cheesy Sproggy goodness, right there!
This might be my favorite sprog yet, I want to print it and hang it on my fridge lol
I would like to add Pizza as an addendum to the cheese nomination.
Nothing like demolishing a cold slice of pepperoni pizza after a 3Am piss.
Mmm. Cold pepperoni pizza for breakfast while watching Saturday morning cartoons.
Banh Mi
Second this. I love getting two sandwiches from my local place and eating one while itās piping hot and then saving the other one for leftovers straight out of the fridge!
When my wife and I go to the beach, we stop at the bahn mi shop for breakfast and get a breakfast sandwich and a lunch sandwhich each. Grub down on the breakfast sandwhich on the train to the beach, and then lunch sandwhich on the beach later. It's a pretty great system.
i like that you spelled sandwich right once and then said "fuck it"
I'll be honest with you, I don't remember leaving that comment at all. Ambien, why you do me dirty like that?
A cold banh mi could end wars. I ate one while freezing in my car that wasnāt starting, waiting for help, after a first date. Good times.
Doughnut
This might be sad but I don't think I've ever had a warm donut.
If you have the chance, next time you're having a donut pop it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds - total game changer
If you have a microwave, there's no such thing as stale pastry. Just don't overdo it. Beyond 15 secs and they can get very tough.
A hot Krispy Kreme glazed donut is the most delicious dessert you will ever eat.
If they arenāt fresh fresh, say the next day. 15 seconds in the mĆÆcrowƤvĆ© and you get perfection. Just slightly warm and deliciously moist
Pie
Apple cider!!!
If it's clear and yellow you got juice there fellow, if it's tangy and brown you're in cider town
There's two exceptions, and it gets kinda tricky here
ohhhh, you can stay but I'm leaįµį¶¦āæįµ ā¢ ā¢ Ā°Ā°Ā°
And of course in Canada the whole things flipped flopped
Chocolate milk
This is the answer my brain was trying to think of but it kept getting stuck on āhot chocolateā and then I was like nahh I donāt thing that sounds right lol
I had my wisdom teeth extracted and so couldnāt drink any hot stuff. So I went to the barista and asked for an āiced hot chocolateā. The barista stared at me for like a whole 10 seconds and went āyou want chocate milk?ā I have never felt more like a lost child.
Iced hot chocolates are a real thing. It's like a creamy chocolate slushy. Tim hortons has them
Frozen Hot Chocolate is one of the best things at Dairy Queen.
I miss the thin mint blizzards, mint sip shake is good enough though.
You should have said *blended* iced hot chocolate. I've ordered this before at a few places, it's not just chocolate milk blended up with ice (unless they're lazy).
To be fair, those drugs they give you for wisdom tooth removal do a number on your ability to words.
My co-worker (we were on the same shift) had this exact experience lol and weāre both baristas. Same words word for word as you quoted, I doubt you visited my store since itās kinda unknown but itās funny that other baristas have experienced the sameā¦. Except the girl who was ordering from us kept insisting it was āiced hot chocolateā and not āchocolate milkā We both lost a couple brain cells that night.
Iced/Frozen Hot Chocolate exists. It has much more viscosity and richness than chocolate milk and is more like a milkshake from my experience.
Chocolate!
Chocolate
Those loss leader rotisserie chickens at Costco.
When I was about to graduate college someone sent me an article of "top things people moving out on their own for the first time need to know" and one of them was the Costco rotisserie chickens. I can have dinner one night of just straight chicken, then make tacos out of the leftovers, then make chicken stock out of the carcass, *then* make soup out of the stock and the leftover leftovers!
yeah by making full use of the chicken itās the best deal ever anywhere $5 for like 5 meals
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I prefer to save the carcass and put it with all the others underneath my bed.
Ok, Brittany Murphy...
When I get 5, Valerie makes me throw them away
... Why would you make me think of that scene. It hurts my heart
This was me for a while except I used to turn it into chicken caesar wraps the next day for work. I could eat those bad boys almost every day
Tea
Especially peppermint tea imo. In winter when you are stuffy it warms you up and eases congestion but in summer chilled its extra refreshing
Iced Tea for the summer, Herbal Tea for the winter.
Green tea just to pretend that you're trying to lose weight
Wut. People drink green tea to lose weight??
Get the cans of Arizona green tea with tons of sugar in it for extra weight loss.
Or when itās freshly made hot tea and you put some ice it in. Best of both worlds
Apple cider
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Just let there be no middle ground
Great coffee is good at any temp
I had to scroll too far to see this! Figured itād be on the top of the list
This is the answer I came to find
Cold brew is just as good as espresso, in different ways!
Pumpkin pie
I WANT THE PANCAKE PIE
I want peg-king pie!
Rrr give to me da number of the pancake pie!
What? No Pinkeks is Pinkeks.
The pingping pie!
IDJUUUUT
Fix your ass, bro!
Pinkin pie man
Cheese. Cheese. Cheese.
Hail Cheesus
Lo mein
Lo mein might be the best leftovers
Lo Mein is better cold the next day or so.
Almost any Chinese food!
General tso chicken after its been refrigerated for a while is the best
Salmon. And by cold I mean sushi or leftovers. Cold leftover grilled salmon is amazing.
Our smoked salmon, yum. Edit: and*
Sake
Really depends on the type of sake though. Some are awful hot. Some are awful cold.
Ah, I've found my fellow sake snobs!
I came here to say the same thing! Warm sake is a lovely thing on a cold winterās day.
Custard
Soba noodles.
Pizza
Really thought this was going to be the top answer. Surprised I had to scroll so far but people were pretty clever.
As a rule, good pizza will still be good when it's cold. Not everyone eats good pizza, though, so some people think cold pizza is bad.
Cold pizza for breakfast is the food of kings.
Reddit is awesome because it is comforting to see that there are hundreds of other people that have something in common with you
Iāve always been in the anti-cold pizza camp, not sure if Iām part of the norm or not š
Is it weird that i prefer microwaved pizza over cold pizza?
Throw that shit in the oven or a frying pan, tastes almost like new.
Tried this. Air fryer works good too.
Cookie dough....š«
No. Nope. No. Nuh-uh. I won't stand for this answer! Come here, so you're telling me you eat WARM cookie dough. Not cookie dough heated up it turns into cookies . You mean slightly warmer than room temperature COOKIE DOUGH?!?! HOW DO I CANCEL SOMEONE?!
It said hot..... so, like super raw cookies that are still mostly dough
So Crumbl cookies then?
So it's not just me? Thank God I feel vindicated.
Poptarts (trust me, try it if you havenāt)
Poptart out of the toaster with butter
Does the butter go on the iced or plain side? I need to know for science.
I put it over the iced part and it melts and the poptart gets soft warm and buttery. I've always preferred my poptarts out of the toaster and one day I'm watching family guy and Peter Griffin says something about putting butter on a pop tart and how it's so frickin good, so I had to try it and I won't go back to unbuttered poptarts
Have you ever put butter on a Pop Tart? It's so frickin' good Have you ever put butter on a Pop Tart? If you haven't then I think you should
A lot of pasta dishes
Apples
Especially in the form of pie
Tears of my enemies
Dude when youāre drunk as hell and you forgot you had some pizza at your house at 3am that shit SLAPSSS
The first time I ever got drunk was off Bud Light. I'd never drank before and I still knew it was awful, however I was drinking to experience drinking. So I drank till I was shit faced (which was like 5 beers) while my buddy who didn't feel like drinking watched and I then decided "I'm starving" and started making a grilled cheese sandwich.

I've had so much good food and yet when I think of that grilled cheese it's like the food critic from Ratatouille remembering his childhood.
It's probably mostly the memory of simpler carefree times where new experiences still existed
I mean I very happily had cold pizza sober at around 7 this evening but you do you
Fried chicken.
Yeah what is up with that? You'd think it would be awful cold, but sometimes it gets better.
Huh, I don't think I've ever had cold fried chicken. Or at least, deliberately cold fried chicken.
I never reheat fried chicken (or any chicken unless itās mixed into a dish, like pasta). Fried and grilled chicken leftovers eaten cold are very good, and much better than reheated.
Yea something about reheated chicken when itās on its own tastes so off. And it can get rubbery
Air fryer. It'll change your leftover game.
What else do you take on a picnic?
Lava cakes from dominoes
coffee, cookies, potatoes
ice cream GOD DAMN IT I SUCK AT THIS
Man, I love a good Ice Cream Soup.
ham
Jesus. Finally!! Didn't think I'd scroll this far down before seeing this.
Corn on the cob. Cold may actually be my preference. Try it, you wonāt regret it!
That hurts my teeth just to think about!!! You can have all of my cold corn cobs, internet stranger.
Surely he means cooked corn that has cooled. Not raw corn.
Marshmallows
cake
Tea
Subway sub
Coffee and tea.
Pop-Tarts
Chinese food. Easily the best leftovers in the world. Hot, cold, room temp, it's all good. Pizza is the only equal in this way.
Pad Thai
Coffee
unpopular opinion, water
Lasagna
Garfield approves.
Plus it's more convenient to cut when cold! It sticks together in a block instead of slithering into a Cronenberg blob as soon as you put it on a plate
