I've been advised by native Thais to drink hot tea/beverages when eating hot food. Personally, nothing seems to do much good in terms of making the quick squall and climb of a good hab subside...then again, that's why I'm eating the hab. I like it. Cold things seems to intensify the heat for me; they may make it pass for a nanosecond, but it's just something you need to embrace and get through, not try to escape. jeff Charles Demas wrote: > On Wed, 4 Aug 1999, Anthony delonga wrote: > > > wow, never cheated in my life, im going against my freinds who know > > nothing about hot peppers and im suprising them with some special > > peppers ! :) > > > > now to the point, what can you drink to not feel the peppers heat or > > atleast get rid of most of it, i heard that olive oil works but im not > > certain, does anyone know? > > Why would you want to do that? :-) > > FWIW, I've heard eating that citrus slices will cut the heat.
