What are some cooked foods that you can eat cold?

Fried chicken
Pork chops

I’ll sometimes it leftover steak cold. Not bad but when I nuke it it’s as good as fresh off of the grill. Can’t beat it with a stick.

Steak is good too.

Some cooked vegetables make good additions to a green salad. Green beans and corn, for example. Sometimes when I have leftover small red or white potatoes I’ll quarter them and add them to a salad. I’ve even just eaten those potatoes by themselves, cold.

Also chicken.

Shrimp, for sure. My favorite summer salad is Romaine with cold shrimp, seedless red grapes, and shredded parmesan, with a Caesar dressing.

I made 5lbs of fried chicken today, just to grab and go.

Fried chicken ! !

Thin sliced steak cold in a wrap

Shrimp

Lobster salad roll

All of them.

I can’t think of a leftover that I would not eat cold.

@Tropical_Willie Lobster. Yes! Definitely.

And turkey. Turkey sandwiches the day after Thanksgiving. And maybe another week after that.

@Call_Me_Jay Spaghetti and meatballs, fried rice, mushroom crepes?

-Potatoes
-Steak :p
-Roast beef
-Fried chicken

Things I wouldn’t eat cold include cold pizza, spaghetti and meatballs and Spanish rice (paella).

Ditto on roast beef. Cold or hot, can’t beat it with a stick.

Really almost anything. It doesn’t work well with fatty foods that taste good When hot because the fat liquifies. When the fat is cold and solid It’s gross.

Foods that are eaten cold:
Pizza
Fried chicken
Steamed broccoli
Corned beef
Lasagna

^ I’ll pass on the cold lasagna. I like mine bubbly and right out of the oven :p

^^I prefer it hot also, but in my opinion the second day is better than the first. Problem is it rarely lasts until the next day. I actually make shells more often than lasagna. Both are like cotton candy; it’s like they disappear in my mouth. I don’t really understand it. Some sort of magic.

^ I agree, lasagna or baked ziti, taste better the day after because all the flavors combine and intensify. I’m not a fan of shells but I love cannelloni…delish!

@Nomore_lockout I can beat anything I want to with a stick. Except most living things.

Any form of chicken pizza, .turkey, or pork—but I rarely like cold Roast Beef except for the deli kind.

@Yeahright Spaghetti and meatballs, fried rice, mushroom crepes?

Yes, I would be fine with all of those cold without hesitation.

Answering the question :
I’m prone to think that anything edible that was cooked &
went cold can be, as a matter of fact, eaten.

Answering the description [inquiring on preferences(and/or possibly habits)] :
bread, marmelade, chocolate spread, baked ham, cheese, yoghurt :}
(what? Those are all technically correct xÞ )
... also frittata/omelet, cake, pie, cupcakes, biscuits, pizza, baked goods in general, fried chicken, fried bread(although that’s not made often & generally promptly consumed soon after it’s made), fried artichoke, fried croquettes.

(List may not be conclusive)

@FnuLnu Dairy products such as cheese and yogurt should only be eaten while warm, as should bread, chocolate spread, cupcakes and marmalade. Just to clarify, But I eat fried croquettes, fried bread, and fried twinkies cold or frozen all the time.

It never makes sense to me to “heat up” a frozen dinner. It seems to me: what’s the point of frozen dinners, frozen pizza, etc etc. if people heat them up before eating them. I especially enjoy filling my bed with frozen burritos on these hot summer nights.

@Yellowdog, you’re three months late for April Fool’s, but I detect a pinch of facetiousness just the same.

Actually, three months plus five (days).

Of course, lets not forget the icing on a cake. It should only be eaten cold,

If you eat it after cooking it, it will be warm and the ice in it will melt, Like in that MacArthur Park is Melting in the Dark all the sweet green icing flowing down” song.

Seafood doesn’t fare so well cold.

Well, I for one DO actually disagree. Cold shrimp, cold fish and chips, chilled crab and lobster, I think are quite tasty.

@Yellowdog Mmmmm, I agree. I love a few bites of really cold, firm fish. Preferably crappy or walleye….haha!

@KNOWITALL Yuppers. Crappy cold fish will get you walleyed. Sick. : )

@Nomore_lockout As long as it’s not catfish, gross.

Oh I hate catfish too.

@Dutchess_III Every time I hear someone bragging on great catfish, I admit I look at them sideways. Disgusting. I did hear soaking in milk or buttermilk made them palatable but why bother.

Right? They are disgusting creatures who eat the rotting offal off the bottom of the lake and they taste like it.
However a former shop customer used to bring us white cat from Lake Texoma that was actually pretty good.

Other than that, if it’s not trout or salmon get it away from me. (Have yet to find any salmon in Kansas lakes….)

@Dutchess haha, I havent found any fresh here either, imagine that! :D

Tempura is good cold; shrimp, lobster chunks wrapped in Sashimi rice and Nori.

Can’t believe you ladies don’t like catfish! Deelicious! Go to Catfish Parlor if there is one in your areas, and chow down. Catfish and fries smothered in ketchup! Cant beat that with a stick. Think I might even take Mamma Bear out to Catfish Parlor this evening.

Cold salmon is good. Cold tuna steaks are good.

@Nomore_lockout Smothered in ketchup, sounds like a crime! I mean, I’ve had a few good catfish but not many, it has to be done right.

@KNOWITALL But catfish tastes soooo good with ketchup! French fries as well!

I don’t really like catfish, either. Its a bottom dweller and pond dweller. Its sort of a country thing— Seafood, to me, is saltwater, although some cold-water dwelling freshwater fish are good.

However, that being said, Catfish are almost all raised on catfish farms nowadays and do not eat pond sediment. They eat pellets,

Catfish are a disappointment if somebody brings it as a supposed ‘seafood’ item but its not all that bad. I personally would not order it, but I’d be good with it at a fish fry.

Definitely not something I’d like to eat cold, but maybe not terrible.
