Default Cold food tastes nice!

Why is that?
Food that is normally eaten hot takes on a new taste when cold.
For example a slice of lasagne I just ate cold was delicious. It was
nice enough when I ate it hot but this time I could taste every
ingredient and it took on a whole new taste.
Obviously this wouldn't apply to all foods such as the broccolli and
carrots that accompanied the hot lasagne.

Has anybody else come across any (traditionally hot) foods that take
on a whole new angle when cold?
Maybe I'm just strange. I did used to eat left over cold chinese
takeaway on a hungover Sunday morning when I was a student.

I used to eat cold fried rice, cold pizza and cold spaghetti, but I think
that's about it.

I love cold pizza for breakfast!

Leftover steamed vegetables (esp. green beans) with any vinaigrette.
If your broccoli and carrots were just barely cooked to tender, they'd
be great like that!

I also love cold: pizza, fried chicken (better than hot!), leftover
rice with milk and a little cinnamon sugar, and "doggie bagged"
seafood.

I love just about any cold leftover meat -- roast beef, pork chops,
chicken, hot wings. I like room temperature sausage or ham biscuits.

Lasagna like many things tastes better the next day. I would reheat it
though
