Hypothetically let's say you have a plate of food with two foods on it:


one hot food meant to be eaten hot, one cold food meant to be eaten cold


You only have time to eat one of these foods before the other loses temperature.


Do you eat the hot food while its hot and risk cold food getting warm


Or do you eat the cold food first and risk hot food getting cold

Eat the hot food while it’s hot

cold first

dependig if there is a microwave

if not then i would say the hot food first

hot while still hot.

no microwave


for arguments sake lets say the hot food is shrimp and the cold food is macaroni salad


you eating room temp shrimp or room temp macaroni salad

ofc i would eat the shrimps first. i love shrimps.

i disagree.

I'll eat pretty much anything hot/cold/room temp. shrimp is fine either way, same with mac salad.

Hot food tends to cool faster than cold food warms, due to the relative difference in temperature relative to the room temperature

Hot food cools very quickly initially as a result, thus should be eaten first
