Question

How do I make spicy foods taste less spicy?

Community Answer

Eating more spicy foods will get your body used to the taste. It will taste less spicy overtime. Or, you can eat it with some type of dairy, such as yogurt, sour cream and milk. Using bread or rice to thin out the spicy sauces can also help.

Question

How can I eat hot fries without it hurting my mouth?

Community Answer

Try to avoid putting them directly on your tongue, keeping them between your teeth. Drink plenty of water. And keep practicing. The more you eat spicy food, the more your tastes adjust; eventually it will become pleasant instead of painful.

Question

How much spice can someone take without any negative physical effects?

Community Answer

It depends on the person and how regularly they eat foods with that particular level of spice. Let's say you can eat 3 bites of a Thai pepper, and not experience any negative PHYSICAL effects (just an example), but someone else can only eat 2. The more frequently you eat spicy foods, the less negative effects you will undergo.

Question

Can I get a so-called "high" from eating extremely spicy foods?

Community Answer

Not really. You will just start to sweat and your face will turn red because your body is trying to cool you off.
