Cold fried chicken is pretty good!

I'm sure cold pizza will make the list, pretty good, I'd rather heat it up though.

I agree with fried chicken and pizza. My son eats cold spaghetti all the time, but I don't like it cold at all.. Cold roast beef and roasted potatoes are OK. Even cold bacon is ok. Cold macaroni and cheese is ok.

Things not ok cold: chili, stew, fries, hot dogs, hamburgers, Chinese food, eggs

Boiled eggs are good cold.
Cold smoked pork chops are good.

It's funny, if it's a grilled chicken breast, I would always want to re-heat it unless I put it over salad, and if it's chicken cooked in any sauce, I would totally re-heat it. Wings I prefer warm or hot. But I love friend chicken cold or room temp.

+1

I can leave a half cup of coffee for hours and come back and down it cold.

Cold spaghetti sounds so weird to me, I would never even consider it. Fried chicken I can do, but I think broadly speaking I prefer all food to be at least room temp.

Yes on the coffee....The next day with some ice is always nice!

But yeah, spaghetti with a marinara sauce or simple tomato sauce eaten cold is not my favorite. In a pinch, no problem, but not if I can warm it.

That said, my wife occasionally makes cold pasta salads with spaghetti and they're delicious....But of course that's different than warm pasta later served cold.

I never knew cold leftover spaghetti was a thing...and cold coffee...interesting.

Something I thought was odd, my daugter-in-law doesn't like cooked cold shrimp but will eat it warm.

Pour the coffee in an insulated mug with some ice, add cream and or sugar if that's how you drink it warm, and voila, a cool beverage to sip on a hot morning or afternoon....Not quite the same as cold brewed coffee, but close enough.

Coffee is amazing stuff - I have found half full cups of coffee in my car several days near a week old, tasted fine. As long as there isn't a bacteria colony layer on top it holds its value.

That reminds me, pasta with pesto sauce is awesome cold.

Oh yeah....Especially if you make fresh pesto from basil or another herb freshly picked from your own garden. Sun dried tomato pesto is another good choice or a combination of both. Add some cold chicken breast into the mix and yummy, you've got a well balanced meal served anytime anywhere baby!

Good choices so far.

Meatloaf
BBQ Chicken
Pizza
Popcorn that was cooked on the stove the night before...not microwave!!!

There might be a restaurant out there that does this, but I always it would be cool to have a pizza place open in the morning that serves left over cold pizza. That's a good breakfast!!!


Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,

Agreed on the pesto and double-agree on the popcorn!

coffee has to be either hot or on ice. I can't drink room temperature coffee

chicken, turkey, pizza

this morning I was taking left over meatballs and sauce for lunch. after I was done scooping it out, I had the rest of the sauce cold out of the container. It was quite good

Stuffing.
The spaghetti works also.

Stuffing is a good one Gina.
Cold pizza was an every Saturday morning thing when I was a kid.

I've thought of this for a while.

The only thing I'll eat right from the fridge is hard boiled eggs. Maybe rice.
