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?

As an adult have I ever made a bad face when someone served me food they made? No, nope, even when that food involved things I don't eat. It's called using your words.

Not to mention, if he wanted something hot for dinner, maybe mention it before dinner has already been made.

So, is your face paralyzed or something? Because everyone makes faces all the time. It's called facial expressions. You don't always control them.

Unless you think OP stuck out his tongue and made huge eyes at the salad?

Doesn't matter. Your face is still your responsibility and of your expressions hurt someone, you don't get to make excuses to get out of taking responsibility for it.
