This might be surprising to some of you, but there actually are lots of Hispanic people who are white...
I can totally relate. My mom is half-Dominican which makes me 1/4 Dominican. So, technically, I guess that makes me "brown" or maybe even "colored." ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
I don't consider myself "Hispanic" or "Latino" because I lack the cultural reference. I don't speak Spanish and I wasn't raised in a Hispanic/Latino culture. (I was born/raised in The Bahamas).
I'm mostly white and I feel that much of my cultural makeup is informed by whiteness (media, education, etc). But I don't believe that "mostly white" is the same as "white."
So, ethnically or racially, I don't fit easily into any one box. If I had to choose only one demographic minority that I can totally relate to, it would have to be the gays!
So I guess THAT makes me pink. But not "pinko-commie" pink.
Maybe that's why I like Chipotle so much. Coz Chipotle is gay. Not "bad" gay, like the high-school "oh that's so gay" gay. The fabulous (!) gay.
(10% of you know what I mean.) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

When someone would say we were Italian, my gradnpa would correct me and say, "No, no, hanno torto, Francesco; siamo ROMANI!" i.e., "No, no, they are wrong, Francesco; we are ROMANS!" My mom's side came from Rome. Yes, grandpa was Roman AND crazy --we couldn't speak Italian but he carried on conversations with my brother and me even though we couldn't understand a word.... nevertheless, if I am Roman and if Romans = Latins, then I would be Latin too.
I am latino! ![[thumbsup]](graemlins/thumbsup.gif)

Sweet foods are the "opposite" flavor of hot peppers but it does not counteract the effect of capsicum. It only covers the flavor.
Bread or starch might absorb some of the capsicum but it has no effect on the "heat."
The alcohol in beer can be a counteractant to the effect of capsicum but the liquid only causes the oily substance to spread. Water will also spread the oil. Sweet drinks like soda might have a temporary effect but, again, they are the same as any other liquid, only spreading the oil.
Since the heat from spicy, hot peppers is based on oil, fats would be the best solution. Milk, butter, cheese or sour cream will "bind" with the capsicum and decrease its effect.
It all depends on what the "hot" spice is. If it's a "burn" from capsicum, milk will work best for most people. If it's from cayenne or paprika, sugar or alcohol might work.
Some people from cultures where spicy-hot food is prevalent will have their own ways of dealing it. Indian people (the country of India) often use anise or cardamom to cover the taste and the smell of spicy food. Mexican or South Americans often use bread and milk. Almost all cultures that eat spicy food traditionally serve sweet desserts.
I often use bread and beer but I can tolerate hot food more than most people. I really like hot food. I keep a bottle of Tobasco at the dinner table and often use it in place of salt. I can't tolerate milk very well but, if I "need" it, I'll eat small amounts of buttered bread or a dollop of sour cream after eating hot food. To be honest, I like eating hot food and washing it down with beer, even though I know it isn't entirely helpful. I just like the combination of tastes.
The bottom line is to try a few different things and do what works best for you.
Kurt;
Do you know if you are officially a cilantrophobe or is it something else? I have met several people who don't like cilantro but don't know why. It isn't until after the problem is explained to them that the light finally clicks on.
