Peor es chile y agua lejos

Peor es chile y agua lejos
 

Knowing this means things could be worse, I've always wondered whether it's literally true. Shouldn't it say a piece of bread instead, because water only makes the burning more intense?

Something oily like avocado is better than bread.

Water is the usual "cure" for the burning sensation of hot chili. The other usual remedy is salt, but Poli is right: avocado or butter are better. :)

The saying, however, keeps the water. ;)

la leche es la mejor solución :thumbsup:

Seguro que es la manteca en en la leche, aguacate y mantequilla que alivia el ardor del picante.

Sí, porque la capsaicina es soluble en grasa y alcohol.

¡Qué me has dicho! Con un tequila se pasa mejor. ;)
