I would like to know some ideas for taking the "bite" out of food that is too spicy?

Answer 1

Add sugar or starches.

If mexican food is too spicy, try nibbling on a flour tortilla. The carbs tend to interact and break down the capsicum in the pepper.

Don't grab a drink. Water will dilute the chemical, and spread it around. You'll feel the burn even worse.

Answer 2

put a potato. it takes it all in. the other alternative that works but thats not too healthy is to add a lot of salt...

Answer 3

mix in yoghurt or sour cream
