Hm, mabye it was stupid
question, but now i found an answer :)
So...
Why does water not calm
the tongue after eating hot spicy food?
The spices in most of the
hot foods that we eat are oily, and, like your elementary school
science teacher taught you, oil and water don’t mix. In this case,
the water just rolls over the oily spices.
What can you do to calm
your aching tongue? Eat bread. The bread will absorb the oily spices.
A second solution is to drink milk. Milk contains a substance called
“casein” which will bind to the spices and carry them away.
Alcohol also dissolves oily spices.
