"Das Essen ist kalt."

[DeeRamm]

I answered "The meal is cold." (marked wrong) My understanding of "Essen" is that it is a much narrower term than "food". "Essen" is a meal or the food for a meal. "Food" is a much broader term. That should be food for thought.

Thank you. I did the same and was marked correct.
