Reheated lasagna and pizza is better the next day.

Chicken is great the next day cold

Tapioca is good both hot and cold

[doorgunner69]

Most all reheated are acceptable.

But cold???
Y’all must be easterners.

Cold pizza is tasteless as are the other foods on this list.

This chick is just too lazy to use a microwave or oven.

[Mears]

Meatloaf sandwich…..yum .

….

Rotisserie chicken is always nice, but when it’s cold it gets dry too soon.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Chili , meatloaf and fried chicken are OK cold.

[Libloather]

Yeah, never really tried leftover possum inerds before but my grandparents did have a squirrel recipe. Involved boiling. Just scored some ground elk mixed with beef. Oh, my. Not too many leftovers on that.

[Libloather]

What, you don’t find that layer of cold congealed grease on chili appetizing?

Ever skim off the orange to reach the lower-fat contents underneath? It's GOLD, bgill. GOLD!

[Libloather]

Y’all must be easterners.

Contrary to every rumor ever told, we do not eat the yellow snow.

[Zuriel]

**Just scored some ground elk**

Hmmm... was it you that recently hit the elk with a semi near Joliet, IL?

(Lol)

[Libloather]

Will my secret be kept safe on the internets? Let me think about it...

[nwrep]

All Mexican crap. Notice there is no Chateaubriand on the list.

[AlaskaErik]

When it comes to pizza two things I never do is eat it cold or eat it for breakfast. That’s never going to happen.

[AlaskaErik]

I never eat quiche or eggplant parmesan. Of the remaining items, the only thing I’ll eat cold is fried chicken.

[Does so]

What is “ground elk”?

Possum? Squirrel?

Elk? Ground-up elk?

[Libloather]

Ground-up elk?

Yep. Had me a few 1/2 pound elk burgers with sriracha ketchup. It does NOT taste kinda like chicken.

Pizza is one of my favorite breakfast entrees. Other than meat, all the major food groups are there and yummy. But it goes into the microwave or the toaster oven for 30 sec first. I’m under 100 pounds and not in the tropics; it’s always chilly when I get out of bed. I’d as soon drink cold soup as cold pizza.

[Does so]

A colleague gave me some white-tail deer meat, with instructions on how to marinate and cook it.

New to its flavor, I didn’t care for it. So I dropped it on the kitchen floor for my dog. He picked it up—thought about it—then abandoned it, and walked out!

[oldasrocks]

Cold anchovy pizza for breakfast is great.

My wife will re-heat pizza for breakfast in a skillet w/a little olive oil.

I will eat cold pizza and meatloaf, just not for breakfast.
