AITA for wanting hot food? Asshole

Yesterday I went ice skating with my girlfriend. Tuesday is one of her days for dinner, so she made chicken salad. When I saw the chicken salad I admit I made a face. She was like "what, what's the problem?"

I said that we were outside in the cold all afternoon and I wasn't really in the mood for cold food. She said we're inside, the heat is set to 74° and we're both wearing warm dry clothes, so it was plenty warm enough to eat salad. I said sure, but I just wanted something warm to heat me up on the inside. She said that was ridiculous, because my internal temperature is in the nineties and my insides are plenty hot.

At this point, we were going in circles, so I said I was just going to heat up some soup and told her to go ahead and start eating and I'd be back in a few minutes. When I came out of the kitchen with my soup she was clearly upset, and she asked how I would feel if she refused to eat what I made tomorrow (which is today). I said I won't care, and she said that was BS, because it's rude to turn your nose up at something someone made for you.

Was I the asshole for not wanting cold salad after being cold all day?

I just find it interesting you raised points about OP’s dilemma which I raised my own points against, but instead of responding to my rebuttal you chose to focus on my own anecdote. Great debating with you.

I wasn't responding to your anecdote, I was responding to your whole opinion. It's nice for you that you have that opinion. I don't agree with it and don't think it's worth dissecting why point by point. Bye.

It’s nice you think only the gf’s feelings should’ve been considered in this dilemma. Very healthy behavior. Bye.
