I’ve seen these two mention as being the as the simplest but most effective palate cleansers. But when you eat spicy food you don’t want to drink water. You want drink milk instead. Are there certain situations you take water and crackers instead? I want to understand the science behind this!
In: Chemistry
This is just speculating, but if you are doing it to reduce the heat after spicy food, it is that the cracker is quite dry like a sponge. It will absorb spicy capcasium oils and force you to make more saliva, which will further help rinse oils. Then the water washes it down.
