Food?

What is it that makes us want to heat stuff up a bit before we eat it? I've always wanted to know...

tastes better?

[GHoSToKeR]

Yeah, but why? I'm pretty sure that taste is just a matter of opinion, and that we've grown accustomed to the taste of cooked food and just then grown to like it.. But why do it in the first place?

i dont....if i come home late one evening and my mum has decided to cook for me i wont bother heating it up...ill just eat it cold.....anything......like roasts, fuckin anything.....it all tastes the same to me....

does heating up food actually make it taste any different?

I've often thought about how the cavemen (or whoever) somehow got the idea of throwing food on a fire.. or making coffee (let's take beans that taste like SHIT, throw some water in it to make SHIT WATER, and.. heat it up! I love coffee, btw). Maybe someone just dropped their dinner on the fire one night, said "ug this easier to chew! and tasty too!" or something.

Yeah and who thought about throwing ground rocks (salt) on their food? I'd like to pinpoint the salt/fire phenomenon.

I know the real answer, allow me to share!

Everything edible will have it fullest flavour, and strongest taste at 32 degrees C

It's the truth, i learnt it in science!

Some shit to do with all the flavour and molecules and shit being released.. whatever the reason, it's true
