Remedies for spicy food

[Flying Mullet]

Water just spreads the spiciness. Milk and bread absorb it or something.

Drinking milk helps me. So does eating a slice of bread...

Yup and double yup.

Bread is one of the best, as it absorbs the spicy oil as you eat it. Of course, the best thing I have found to work, although not very polite, is to stick your tongue out as far as it will go and wipe it off with a napkin.
