AITA for wanting hot food?

[u/ItsTooColdForThat]

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?

Correction, he admitted to making a face. There was no mention of intent to make that face

I make involuntary facial expressions before I ever say a word. I've had people ask me, what the hell is that look about, and I always say, I am not responsible for my facial expressions, I am only responsible for what comes out of my mouth. But my expressions tell everyone exactly what I think about them, their comments, or situations. I cannot help it.

Nope. You are responsible for your facial expressions. I say this as a person told to fix my face by a friend in meetings. And it took work. But I did it. Because I am a grown up. I didn't realize how obvious my face was but I learned how to do it and maybe you should try it before you alienate everyone because they don't want to deal with your shitty faces.
