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 😆

"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.

    Stone cold describes temperature just as often. Right??

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    I enjoy my food cold as well, and I am diagnosed as autistic. So you might be onto something.

    So when did you find out you had autism?

    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.

    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.
