Things you like to eat cold that are normally served hot

[m1469]

What I am eating now :

cold roasted veggies and cold steak  .

But a few of my all time favorites :

Cold pizza (so good)
Cold Nachoes
Cold burritoes, chimichangas, beans
Cold Chinese food

[pianistimo]

you broke your vow.  you have now posted again in the 'anything but piano thread.'  you held out longer than i thought you would - comparatively to me.

i also like cold everything.  it is because i get sidetracked by posting or something and whatever it was that was hot is now cold.  and, i don't like to waste food.  basically hot grilled cheese sandwiches turned cold.  soup turned cold.  tea turned cold.  i think when you are responsible for paying bills - you don't just want to dump things because they are cold.  of course, there is always the microwave - but it seems so unnatural.  plus, it dries things out.  i'd rather have some moisture in my food.

cold custard.

Oh yeah, I also love cold cheeseburgers with the works on them (and actually, with warm cheeseburgers I prefer only tomatoe on them).   Especially if they were cut in half before they went into the fridge the night before.

I am probaby talking mainly of leftovers that have been in the fridge... but pizza that was left out all night and is stuck to the cardboard box in the morning is pretty great (I already mentioned that one though   )

[pianistimo]

this is a side note to whomever wants to listen - but, i had a real complaint after my first home because the front door let in the bitter cold and thanksgiving dinner turned cold in a matter of minutes.  after that experience - i vowed that if i could help it, my dining room would be insulated and AWAY from the front door.  as it happens, our new home has an enclosed dining area that stays WARM and has no cold air blowing on it from the doorway.  this has been a lifesaver in terms of having a dinner where everything stays warm.  and, we actually got it insulated.

 Cold eggs, sheesh surly this is the sort of topic that would come up if you are stuck in a traffic jam on your way to the other side of planet earth.

[lisztisforkids]

Cold Chicken.

[gruffalo]

Cold pizza.

[sharon_f]

bar the cold pizza, blech blech blech

that. is. disgusting.

You haz strange tastes m1469.

Cold hot chocolate   
Cold apple cider... yum.

In winter unlike most people, I like cold drinks.  Most people burst into a coffee shop and ask for a hot drink, I ask for ice cappucino.  In summer I like cold drinks with a ton of ice.  I could dig the cold nachos, spaghetti, or Chinese food. 


Cold pizza just isn't apetizing to me.  I throw it in the toaster oven. 

[Bob]

Cold pizza.
Cold turkey or chicken.
Cold pasta.

And revenge!   Revenge is a dish best served cold!   Moo-ha-ha. :p

[m1469]

hee hee.


Okay, here is one more thing that I enjoy quite a bit, though it doesn't necessarily fall into the cold category, well it could, ... but anyway :

Stale popcorn 

So, I am talking about the stuff that was made the night before with butter and salt and was left out overnight (or for two nights  )

mmmmmmmmmm...... it's good.


BTW... a lot of this falls under the category of times when I am craving "junk" foods.

[pianistimo]

speaking of junk food - how about slightly frozen chocolate.

[burstroman]

m1469 has good taste in music as well as popcorn (just leave off the salt and butter).

I cannot disagree with you here (in fact I'd be amazed if some of the contributors to this thread live as long as otherwise they might if they eat some of their apparent choices with any regularity), but you've so far omitted to reveal your own choice/s here; cold vegemite? cold roo steak? cold roast box jellyfish?...

Best,

Alistair

[wishful thinker]

Cold Turkey may be the best advice  though this is likely to be cold comfort to some 

[prometheus]

All of this is disgusting...

[ahinton]

All of this is disgusting...

Well - most of it is, certainly (and no one has yet suggested cold vegemite, so it could yet get worse...)

Are you suggesting that there are those who take their vegemite hot? 

[ahinton]

Are you suggesting that there are those who take their vegemite hot? 

No - although, in another thread, there was, I seem to recall, some mention of that revolting stuff in the context of a sauce with kangaroo meat (albeit a frivolous one, naturally); I was merely joking abot it on the basis that it's utterly revolting at any temperature...

Best,

Alistair

[wishful thinker]

I wouldn't say that it was revolting, merely an aquired taste.  The ozzies are very fond of it. 

Now did you know that in 1928 Vegemite was renamed and registered as Parwill in an attempt to boost its sales and to attract customers of the rival spread Marmite (an English yeast spread that dominated the Australian market sinc 1910). "If Marmite...then Parwill" was the rationale behind Walker's strategy to carve a niche in the market for his spread. The name Parwill and Walker's play on words didn't catch on. It was only sold as Parwill for a short time in Queensland. The name was withdrawn in 1935, and the original name was reinstated.

Your historical knowledge of this - er - product is remarkable! I know that quite a few Australians like the stuff; they are as welcome to it as they are to the box jellyfish that are to be found in certain waters on their eastern seaboard (although obviously the vegemite is the more potentially dangerous of the two).

Yes, I guess that vegemite is indeed an acquired taste; the lengths to which I'd be prepared to go NOT to acquire it are, however, considerable, to say the least - or, to put it another way, it may be "par" for the course in Australia but I "will" not consume it...

Best,

Alistair

[tompilk]

but I "will" not consume it...

Amen!

Strange thing.  For years I refused to take a taste of vegemite (I live in Canada by the way) as it just looked odd.  Then out of the blue, bam - on the first taste test I fell in love with it. 

I guess this further compounds the problem that I don't eat it hot.   

[pianistimo]

ewwww.  ican't even imagine it hot. 

[ada]

There is only one way to eat vegemite: on toast, with stacks of butter. Yum yum yum. Cold vegemite toast is also good, this is common in hospitals.

Vegemite toast is one of the first foods an aussie kid eats and a staple in the lunchbox.

For your further enlightenment on "ozzie" culture, here's the jingle that's used to indoctrinate parents and children  (it's something of a national anthem

We're happy little vegemites
As bright as bright can be
We all enjoy our vegemite
For breakfast, lunch and tea
Our mummies say we're growing stronger every single day
Because we love our vegemite
We just adore our vegemite
It puts a rose
In every cheek!

Poetry, huh?

[thalbergmad]

We're little vegemites
As thick as thick can be
Only us Australians can eat this crap, you see
Our mummies and our daddies say we must eat all this grub
Then when we reach the age of 6
We all go down the pub

[gruffalo]

cold peas are really nice. but i think that doesnt qualify seeing as they are recommended to be either cooked or eaten cold.

Gruff

[pianowolfi]

Vegemite? You could easily drive me away with that. Am I right informed that the USA have forbidden to import it recently?

[pianolist]

We're happy little vegemites
As bright as bright can be ...

I know it's off topic, strictly speaking, but I have to slip in the Ovaltiney song. This is our equivalent in Blighty, Ada.

We are the Ovaltineys, little girls and boys;
Make your requests, we'll not refuse you,
We are here just to amuse you.
Would you like a song or story, will you share our joys?
At games or sports we're more than keen;
No merrier children could be seen,
Because we all drink Ovaltine,
We're happy girls and boys!

This used to be broadcast every Sunday on Radio Luxembourg, though before my time, dear. You can find the history of it all at:

By the way, cold Swiss fondue is delicious.

[pianowolfi]

Is Ovaltiney the same thing as Ovomaltine? That is very Swiss!

[pianolist]

Ovaltine and Horlicks are the two best known British bedtime drinks.

Horlicks has a very cool website indeed, at:

https://www.horlicks.co.uk

Ovaltine is at:

https://www.ovaltine.co.uk

I prefer them both warm, but I repeat, Wolfi, that Swiss fondue is wonderful cold, especially with the thirty whole cloves of garlic.

Horlicks and Ovaltine are perhaps just two of the British things that once made non-British people wonder about British sanity, although they are both now pretty much things of the past. As "pianolist" suggests above, they were supposed to help their consumers to get a good might's sleep; I wouldn't reveal on this forum what either would have helpd me to get, but it would not have been good, nor would it have involved sleep. In the days before those revolting beverages passed largely into history, the British conductor Thomas Beecham once told a story about his "colleague" the British conductor Adrian Boult which included the line "in he came, reeking of Horlicks!".

Pull the other one, its got bells on.

Ha-ha, bozo, I meant the Ovaltineys were before my time, not Radio Luxembourg. I used to listen to it underneath the sheets on a six-transistor superhet. Bet you did too!

I have more interesting things to do under the sheets old chap.

That is where i used to keep my custard creams.

Since its humble beginnings in a Swiss laboratory, millions of families have grown up with the delicious, wholesome goodness of Ovaltine.

There you go.

[pianowolfi]

Obut I repeat, Wolfi, that Swiss fondue is wonderful cold, especially with the thirty whole cloves of garlic.

And I would add a half bottle of Tabasco.

[pies]

I like my milk warm.

[trunks]

McDonald's Apple Pie or other flavoured pie.
I always want them cold but they always serve them hot, arrrrrrrgh!

Hot dessert (British style).
WHAT? Dessert served hot??
OMG!
