Twice in Nina Santos' restaurant Paul has to gulp lots of cold water after
eating some "hot sauce". Amusing and slightly exaggerated!!
Yeah, it was a it contrived. Did you notice that when the waitress took a request from Paul and Perry she said the French word "oui " not "si" in Spanish?
shareAs a consumer of a home made red sauce consisting of tomato juice, tabasco, jalapeno and habanero juice that weighs in at probably 150,000 Scoville units (to be used sparingly) I can tell you that one doesn't drink water to cool your mouth afterwards. Milk! Lots of milk! Or bread and butter.
That is funny though. Paul is so caught up in admiring the dancer that he doesn't ever hear what's being said to him.
Indeed, water doesn't do the job…the capsicum that is burning on your tongue is not water-soluble. You need something with fat in it, like milk or cream.
You may cross-examine.
