Food too spicy? A tablespoon of sugar helps right away

In an Indian Restaurant the waiter asked: mild, spicy or extra spicy? Some say extra spicy, of course because you don't want to be a whimp. So the food comes and it is really spicy and you almost burn your mouth.

So don't reach for the glass of water - take some sugar! In most restaurants you have the small sugar packages on the table, so use it and eat it. I can assure you that eating a tablespoon of sugar will take away the burning on your tongue right away. And if you go to the Indian Restaurant next time, please order it mild, you can always get more spices added later.
