Cut a GF (that's grapefruit LOL!) in half and sprinkle a bit of brown sugar on top.  Place under the broiler for about five minutes or so until the sugar caramelizes and them eat the &@#% out of dat b.

I used to eat a lot of room temperature spaghetti-Os straight out the can when I was a poor grad student. Same with  tuna.

Just ate some cold fried-sausage-potatoes this morning that I'd cooked on Sunday. Pretty great. I think part of it is when you seal it in the tupperware and let those flavors marinate for awhile. This is why hummus ages like wine (to a point at least...)

I like fruit really cold in general.  Is it supposed to be warm or cold?

Warm fruit sounds gross. Apples, Oranges, kiwis, strawberries...all supposed to be eaten cold, no? You know what's great? fresh-grilled chicken and warm pita with cold hummus. It's like a garlicky tornado party in your mouth.

pizza is not better cold.  This is laughable.

I would say warm cookies.  (they aren't supposed to be served unless they're room temperature.

Almost all sandwiches are great either hot or cold.....'cept for chicken salad, I've never seen HOT chicken salad sandwiches.

A standard breakfast item in the uk is cold baked beans.  Every breakfast buffet/spread has them. 

I could not get into them.

as a general rule, i pretty much like everything that should be cold a little bit warmer and everything that should be hot a little bit colder. ex- an ice cube or two in my coffee before drinking and waiting for ice cream to almost kinda start to melt before eating.

Agree on coffee needing to be only warm.  Can't stand super hot coffee.  Actually agree on the middle temp. thing rd described.  I let my soup cool down quit a bit as well.

I'm not smart enough to understand the forces behind it, but Starbucks' coffee has some sort of annoying and mystifying specific heat quality that makes it stay 185 degrees for an hour, before rapidly plummeting to just below lukewarm. You have like a 90 second window to drink it.

If God wanted you to eat cold fruit he would have made orange trees in Canada.

Left-over pizza is better cold. Pizza fresh out of the oven is obviously the best but reheated pizza is  :yuck:

pizza fresh out of the oven that has been sitting on a counter or table for about five to ten minutes is the best. left over pizza that has been partially reheated is better than cold which is better than pizza that has been all the way reheated. hth.

Disagree. Partially reheated is only slightly better than fully reheated. Cold pizza for breakfast =  :lick:

I always reheat it on a super high setting in the oven, so that the crust is crispy and hot, the cheese is not crumbly and the sauce is still cold. Super.

^^ QFT
The toaster oven is a far superior reheating appliance than a microwave for most left overs.

this is just an imo coming into this thread but if a food is just as good or better at the opposite temp than conventional wisdom would say, does that really make that temp the right temp and therefore this whole thread is complete bullsh*t nonsense?  ya, sorry kids, that's what i thought.  damn, it hurt my abusive elbows just typing that science onto this BBS.

 :blindfold:
typical.  'clams gets clownsuited and then tries to overcompensate by acting all hard and crap.  Looks like Duso the Dolphin wasted his time on your dumbass younger self.  If and when you learn to interact with others in a sensible and forthright manner, maybe then will you see what a fool you've made of yourself.  I'm not furious or none of that crap, just shaking my head reading your weak posts.  The truth is, is that you need to look at yourself for once.  You keep raging against everyone and everything, but deep down you know the one you really are angry at is pissclams.  

And don't go acting like your from the streets neither, penguin-looking mother&@#%er.

Besides the obvious candidates catsup (does anyone still spell it that way? I feel like I just put another 20 years on myself) and mustard (by the way, preserves, much like jello, are better cold imho), I'd say society has done a pretty good job of deciding what goes where.

Salsa and nacho cheese (if not cooked) are definitely better cold - not sure if that's standard convention or not, given they get sold in the chip aisle and not the cheese aisle. 

Actually, methinks dairy is almost always best cold or cooked (even stinky cheese), but going either way can improve (like gruyere is better cold and swiss is better melted imho) while towing the middle line (room temp) fracks it all up.

Why am I not surprised that I have to hold 'clams' hand through yet another post... :rolleyes:
Obviously the right temperature would be the "manufacturer's recommended temp", and barring that the FDA guidlines.  JFC, didn't think I had to spell that out. I mean everyone else (actually competent BBS'ers) seemed to get it right away.  But if you want to receive some more of my Liu Kang kicks to your lumpy bald-ass head that's your prerogative.

Meatballs in a good sauce are usually pretty tasty cold.

Also Garlic Bread is good if it's not warm.
