Plates are hot in Casa Da Mamma's,I have tried to touch them many times and still keep forgetting how hot they are.

If you look at recipes for traditional Turkish cuisine, most dishes are served at room temperature not hot. So the concept of hot plates may be a little lost on them...

Yes, but traditional Turkish Cuisine may be served at room temperature but I think a lot of Brits would like their traditional Turkish steak and chips to be served on a hot plate.

Would that be hot or cold rice & salad, Gordon?

Sorry, but cold plates then hot food equal cold food.  No need for an asbestos mouth, food cools very quickly outdoors in Turkey.  By the time you finish eating your food is stone cold.  but hey if this is what you like, you could be in the minority. 

Having been "in the minority" all my life means I'm Special     
Even when the food is supposed to be hot I will leave it until it is cool (or what others may call cold) my wife often finishes her meals before I start mine when we are out and at home my food goes in the fridge after cooking & until it cools

A friend of mine has to put her dinner in the microwave to heat up for a bit before sitting down to eat as, by the time she's finished dishing it up, it's started to go cold and not hot enough for her!   

[Hamlet]

It really puzzles me why people insist on having their food & drink so hot that they have to sit there blowing on it until they are cool enough to consume!

When I first travelled Europe it was as a hitch-hiker and thus visited unexpected and out-of-the-way places. They might be called "traditional". I didn't get to Turkey back then but did hitch-hike through Greece where the cuisine is very much like Turkey's - unsurprisingly since the Ottomans and Greeks lived alongside each other for so many centuries. I have to agree with Philrose; in the two summers I travelled across Greece I never had what a Brit would call "a hot meal". Of course, in today's Turkish restaurants that aim at British trade then hot meals on hot plates might give a competitive advantage.

Cooking food and serving it hot tends to kill bacteria so another good reason to have hot food and hot plates.
