Do you think the reason we like hot foods is because it resembles the body temperature of animals that were recently killed? Before we had a kitchen or handled fire, our ancestors had to eat the animals soon after they died while the food was still hot.

Possibly.

The tastes are more activated when warm, not too hot though. There are plenty of things that we eat cold though, ever think of that Vieope? What is your theory on that?

But why do we think it tastes better?

Most things we eat cold dont resemble the body of a dead animal. Icecream, fruits, we know they were never hot. But if something was an animal or appears to be one we prefer to eat it hot. Can you think of something that we like to eat it cold and it seems like a dead animal?

Sashimi and Carpaccio

I was reading something about human evolution, and there was a massive increase in human size (body and brain if I remember correctly) when we did start to cook food.

It is possible to get more nutrients from a lot of vegetable matter when it is cooked (breaks the lecithin cell walls).

Forget what it said about meat though.

Are you sure we get more nutrients? Even though the amount of kcals may be increased when cooked, I think the nutrient absorption remains the same.

It is true about the nutrients but I never heard that calories increased while heating. Sure it is energy but does that mean frozen pizza is healthy?

Some nutrients are lost with excessive heating, like vit C (especially if you cook veg in the traditional English way which is to boil it till it almost falls apart), and ? (think there are a couple more) but as we can't digest plant cell walls, and the majority of the nutrients are IN the cells.

Those extra Kcals may have been what had the neaderthals die out and Homo sapiens take over.

I like eating Chicken salad sandwiches...those are cold...I like eating that thin sliced raw steak...its not warm....I like roast beef sandwiches...and that mean is rare and bloody...and tastes great cold.

I think warm meat like steaks are juicier because that fat is flowing carring all the seasonings and most importantly the flavor of the meat....I don't think its better because it feels like we just killed it. If you think about it a steak is served hotter than it would be if we just killed it and ate it right away.

Chicken salad well it is salad, it seems like a plant, thin sliced raw steak looks like a leaf in autumn and roast beef sandwiches I dont know, maybe you have some crow genes.

They would be hotter if you hunt it like our ancestors did in Africa near that damn desert.

The plants contain cellulose, which are held together by beta bonds, which the human body can't digest. Therefore we get no energy from it, no Cals. So when the cellulose is broken down, humans are able to get Cals from it. This refers to most vegetation.
