Have you ever known a soup to burn your mouth? I have. And it is my own fault. I must have a mouth and throat of iron. I do not feel the heat of it until after I am done slurping it. I burned my mouth and it is my own fault. But I have to eat it hot. Any less than very hot, and it seems lukewarm to me. I am sorry now. Same with tea or coffee, it has to be piping hot.

OH YES! I have this bad habit to start eating without checking how much food is hot.

So many times. It is such an awful feeling and then I get canker sores in my mouth where the burn was that makes eating the next few days really hard. I prefer things warm if things are hot I don’t taste as much flavor.

@RebeccasFarm I haven’t gotten a blister yet. Leo used to say that I drank my coffee while it was still boiling.

I know what you mean. My tea needs to be piping hot, too, but sometimes it is hellishly so, and I burn my mouth. Not often, but sometimes.

I prefer piping hot too! The times I burn my mouth is when I'm trying to taste test something straight from the stove . I think drinking hot tea growing up made me used to burning hot .

I am similar in the fact that my soup and my coffee or tea must be piping hot. But..........I like to add milk to get it to my desired temperature. And yes, I do add milk to every kind of soup that I eat. My Grandpa used to do that and I believe that is where I saw it from.

That would hurt, Ouch. I cannot tolerate too hot liquids, I prefer ice-cold ones. Even my stomach complains when something hot enters it, but is good when it is something cold. I prefer tea to coffee, too,

Too hot a temperature can cause pain in the esophagus, so I think it's best to keep it warm.
