They just seem crisper and more flavorful. In fact, I just enjoyed some fresh salsa with some good, cold tortilla chips. Anyone else share this predilection, or like any other not-usually-frozen foods? Wed Oct 11 23:22:09 -0700 2006 36325 Procrastibaker 1 1939562 Yes!!! I love eating frozen fruit (probably not that weird), but I also love frozen veggies (especially peas or corn) as well as tator tots. I haven't ever put tortilla chips in the freezer, but I think I'd love it. Also, oranges must be ice cold (but not frozen). Wed Oct 11 23:44:06 -0700 2006 1939516 17737 Hunicsz 2 1943685 When my daughter was little she starting eating the frozen veggies- I thought it was that she was teething and it felt good on her gums, but 10 years later she still likes the veggies frozen! Fri Oct 13 15:59:45 -0700 2006 1939562 15910 debmom 1 1939770 chocolate. nuts, especially alternating with raisins. I used to pour my milk over ice cubes to make it extra extra cold. Thu Oct 12 00:59:53 -0700 2006 1939516 19743 noahbirnel 2 1942574 I like my milk icy cold too. So I put the milk and a glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes before pouring. No watered-down milk that way. Fri Oct 13 01:04:00 -0700 2006 1939770 10642 bryan 1 1939798 I second the suggestions in the above posts. In the veggies section, I'd like to add stir-fry mix (esp. water chestnuts and sugar snap peas) and french fries. In the snacks category, I'm adding pudding, yogurt, and various baked goods. Thu Oct 12 01:10:46 -0700 2006 1939516 10681 piccola 2 1939806 I have always loved to snack on frozen cookies and cakes. Snacking on frozen fruit in the summer is a great idea, as you get both a sweet snack and the cooling effect when the temp is in the 80-90's. I thought that that everyone didn't put ice cubes in their milk. My daughter prefers it that way, but we would get very strange looks in restaurants when we asked that milk would be served this way. PS, I have never tried to freeze yogurt or puddings. Thu Oct 12 01:18:23 -0700 2006 1939798 22220 Kelli2006 1 1942979 There are many liquid & semi liquid things I like cold/frozen (I second the yogurt in the freezer). I must say, however, the only thing I particulary like food wise frozen is sliced pepperoni. I used to enjoy many more things frozen, but I've come around to the benifits of room temperature snacks- I think fruits and veggies at room temperature are just more fragrant, more savory. Maybe it's time to start browsing the freezer more often...

Fri Oct 13 06:36:55 -0700 2006 1939516 27133 ashwood 2 1943820 I only like fresh English peas, but I always keep a bag of frozen peas in the house. They are great to have as a replacement for ice packs for athletic injuries. They mold to the body part in question, and they can be refrozen innumerable times. Fri Oct 13 16:54:57 -0700 2006 1943095 22220 Kelli2006 1 1943100 My girlfriend is all about the frozen peas and corn. I've jumped on this limited piece of the band wagon. Thing is, you can't taste flavors as well at very cold (or very hot, for that matter) temps. That's why sorbets and and ice creams have to have extra flavor to shine through, and (one of the reasons why) soft cheese is a whole different beast at room temp. Fri Oct 13 06:49:17 -0700 2006 1939516 16451 mhoffman 1 1943589 My husband freezes all chocolate/candy bars before eating. I swear he's gonna break a tooth off one of these days (ever try biting into frozen caramel covered in chocolate?). Fri Oct 13 15:24:04 -0700 2006 1939516 12124 TorontoJo 2 1943979 I like ice cold chocolate too...never broke a tooth until I bit into an ice cream sandwich @ Disneyland. Actually, I broke two teeth. D'land wasn't so fun after that. DH likes his grapes frozen. Fri Oct 13 17:47:28 -0700 2006 1943589 12873 OCAnn 1 1943670 Frozen haribo gummi bears (gold bears, actually). And frozen grapes. And frozen chocolate-dipped biscotti... Fri Oct 13 15:52:31 -0700 2006 1939516 13171 silence9 2 1944087 Ohhhh- Forgot about frozen gummis.... Love 'em! Fri Oct 13 18:14:17 -0700 2006 1943670 39914 lunchbox 1 1943692 Water Crackers topped with cream cheese and raspberry jam. When frozen its like a mini cheesecake bite.

BTW, What is white rabbit candy? Fri Oct 13 17:31:26 -0700 2006 1943874 22220 Kelli2006 3 1943938 Read about white rabbit candy here: http://news.asianweek.com/news/view_article.html?article_id=4e915250024942f864944c97607b8c32 I grew up on this stuff ... esp. the rice paper wrapping. I used to stuff like 5 or 6 into my mouth at a time as a kid ... Fri Oct 13 17:35:16 -0700 2006 1943927 11583 ipsedixit 1 1944009 Love frozen three musketeers bars, also frozen reeses cups. Fri Oct 13 17:53:58 -0700 2006 1939516 12701 davinagr 1 1947382 I like frozen chocolate. Lindors are my fave. I have some peanut butter cups in there right now; thanks for reminding me! Sun Oct 15 19:43:31 -0700 2006 1939516 15482 NovoCuisine 1 1947527 Frozen fig newtons are great. Sun Oct 15 21:57:30 -0700 2006 1939516 12213 jillp 2 1947903 Tangent: I recently heard on an NPR program that when Nabisco introduced non-fig Newtons, US fig consumption dropped by 50%! Mon Oct 16 02:16:21 -0700 2006 1947527 16451 mhoffman 1 1947953 love, love, love frozen nuts, especially if they are salted!

Best part is: you can have them for months! Mon Oct 16 17:18:50 -0700 2006 1948854 16451 mhoffman 3 1949506 Plus, you forget they're in there and sometimes you get a wonderful Thin Mint surprise. Mon Oct 16 19:52:59 -0700 2006 1948978 12213 jillp 4 1949733 Never was a fan of Thin Mints until this past year's Girl Scout cookie season when a friend shared her secret of eating them frozen. IMHO, that is the only way to eat them and are borderline addictive. Can't wait until next year because trust me, I never forget a cookie that has been stashed in the freezer! Mon Oct 16 21:00:55 -0700 2006 1949506 33941 rosielucchesini 4 1950792 So true! My favorite part of Thin Mints is that they have the perfect amount of salt. Tue Oct 17 03:28:14 -0700 2006 1949506 16451 mhoffman 4 1951797 You have to love the Thin Mint surprise. Tue Oct 17 16:34:52 -0700 2006 1949506 11327 lizzy
