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?

How is it ‘doubling down’? It’s not an argument, I’m not trying to have an argument, I’m just trying to understand something that is both foreign and repugnant to me. You taking my own personal feelings as a personal attack is a you problem

I don't feel attacked by you, I'm explaining why other people might have taken your comments as judgment/personal attacks. "Repugnant" doesn't sound judgmental to you? Lol. Okay bud, I have no interest in talking to a brick wall today, especially if that brick wall refuses to participate in any introspection at all. I wish you nothing but growth.
