Re: Are you a food-temperature purist?

When my son was 4 or 5, he would sometimes request cold pizza
or cold Chinese food for breakfast. We figured he was
practicing for when he'd have his own place. He was too short
to eat over the sink, so it wasn't quite the full experience.

Along these lines.
I went to the strangest dinner party tonight. The friend who
hosted tends to be disorganized and her BF who recently moved in
with her isn't so much disorganized as oblivious.
They invited more people than their table would hold and instead
of choosing to set up buffet style or or set up a separate table
they decided to do two seatings. I was in the second seating and
other than the soup course everyting was cold since it had been
sitting on the counter prior to even the first seating. So I had
cold fish, cold potatoes, cold pork ribs, cold meatballs, etc
etc.
The desserts were good since room temperature was fine.

I've never even considered tacos as leftovers because I've never
not finished tacos.
I'm generally a reheat person, unless I'm too hungry to bother
and there's cold pizza, Chinese, or Indian appetizers (samosas,
pakoras, Naan - although cold Naan is very sad and nowhere near
delicious as hot naan) in the fridge. But good pizza from the
fancy pizza place absolutely must be reheated, only neighborhood
shop pizza can be eaten cold.

I like to serve things as hot as possible(not leftovers). If I
make burritos or quesadillas, I'll have my family sit at the
table. I'll make them one-by-one and serve as hot as possible.
To me, it's so good that way.

They were huge tacos and an order came with 2. Soft tortilla,
harina, not maiz, so big and I wasn't very hungry.
But when we order from El Pato, we often order extra to eat
later. These weren't patos, but they were good.

We like tacos from Baldo's. They're big and stuffed! I usually
order 2, but 1 is for later.

Re tacos: 99.99% of the time I make them at home. Hence
leftovers that are not assembled. I agree with you all if I
order them - no leftovers.
But with the exception of a very rare nostalgia for Taco Bell
drive through, I never order them. :)

I'll eat a breaded pork chop or fried chicken right out of the
refrigerator.
I'll microwave fried rice, and if I have some meatloaf, I'll zap
it for 20 seconds to get the edge off before I make the
sandwich.
I don't like leftover pizza hot or cold.
I have a hard time understanding this concept: leftover taco.
Someone has to explain what that is.

It's like leftover bacon.... only a very few unique and rare
people have ever experienced the phenomenon.

"Unique" and "rare" are definitely not the adjectives I would
use to describe someone who left bacon on the table at the end
of a meal.

This is a great topic!
For me, this is very much a mood dependent issue as the answer
will change a bit according to how I feel any given day.
Cold food is mostly okay with a few exceptions. Cold mediocre
pizza is good, but I agree with whoever wrote that really good
pizza needs to be reheated in the oven. It doesn't have to be
super hot, just not cold and with a non mushy crust. If I am
ravenous and just want food in my belly, most things are fine
cold from the refrigerator, especially during hot weather. A
favorite is cold Thai food save red curry, that needs to be at
least lukewarm. Indian curries need to be at least lukewarm
too. Rice noodles and mung bean threads are pretty dang good
leftover and cold. Most other noodle dishes, like Italian
pastas with sauces, need to be at least lukewarm or I lose some
of the flavors I want to taste. I make the pasta fresh for each
meal instead of boiling up a bunch because I don't love the
texture of leftover Italian style pasta hot or cold. Egg noodle
dishes are good cold too. When I still ate meat, I used to love
cold chicken and dumplings. Most soups need to be warm but not
too hot, but I love cold tomato basil soup and cold butternut
squash soup. Eggs generally need to be warm to hot, but cold
quiche or sous vide egg bites are good. Peanut butter
sandwiches need warm toasted bread so the peanut butter is
partially melted to taste the best - it is all about texture
there. Leftover potatoes cooked crispy need to be reheated in
the oven or the texture turns me off.
I could go on...
