My son is different. He doesn't like to have his food really hot. He would be happy if it's room temperature or just slightly warmer. I prefer to have it hot...so butter melts on mashed potatoes...etc. but not so hot it burns my mouth. I know some people that can eat and drink at very hot temperatures. How do you like you supposedly hot food? Very hot....normal....or slightly warm?

I like my food normal. I can't eat it when it's piping hot. Sets my tongue on fire. I have a husband who likes his food really hot. Don't know how he can stand it. I can't eat really hot foods but love hot, spicy foods. The heat bothers my mouth.

I don't understand how some can eat or drink things so hot! Is your sensivitity related to the accident thing?

Oh you mean my incredible ice skating accident about 4 years ago? Naw, I've always had a sensitive mouth and tongue along with sensitive hands.

it depends on the weather and temperature. if its cold and rainy, then i prefer hot and warm foods. but if its summer and temperature is high, i'll wait for the food to get cold. ^__^;; but there are foods that are best eaten when warm and hot like soups. and they are best eaten that way to fully appreciate its taste. ^__^

I'm the same way as you. I like it hot but not so hot it burns my mouth.

Right! Nothing is worse then when the roof or your mouth or tongue gets burned!

My favorite dish is better hot. It is pizza.It has to be hot enough that the cheese is just right.I also like pasta and it is best served hot.

I don't like it really hot. I don't want my mouth burned. In fact, when drinking hot tea, I will usually add an ice cube or two after it's done steeping (I don't drink coffee). Frankly, if something is too hot, I can't taste it.

I usually add ice or cold water to hot beverages too....I don't even like hot chocolate too warm! Thanks for sharing!

My son is like your son while my husband and daughter are like you. I just like my food a normal temp. I really can't drink at a very hot temperature - I always and I mean always burn my tongue, I don't know how others do it and not have it bother them. In fact, I took a big gulp of some hot chocolate the other day (not realizing how hot it was) and my tongue is still burnt.

Off hand I can't think of who it is that is the same as your son, maybe my nephew or niece? Not sure but someone I know. As for me, I don't like it so hot that it burns your mouth but I don't like it cool either unless it is meant to be eaten cool or cold.

Well in the winter time I like my food hot, not to the point of burning my mouth but hot another that I can feel if go down. But in the summer time I have to eat my food cold or a little bit warm. Because down here its 100's everyday.

That would be best.....when it's hot I think I prefer cooler foods too like salads etc.
