Why do meals become more spicy when frozen? I have noticed that when currys or chillies are frozen to eat later, they 'mature' and become noticeably hotter. Can anyone expain this?

Why are some tastes delayed? What I mean by that is, when you eat or drink something (eg. a chilli) sometimes you only get the spicyness after a while. This also happens with cranberry juice- you get a bitter aftertaste. Why does this happen?

Why are some foods more likely to cause hiccups? If I eat spicy food such as a hot curry or a dish with chilli, I consistently get hiccups. Many people get hiccups after consuming carbonated drinks. Why are some foods more likely to cause hiccups? How is digestion linked with this involuntary contraction of the diaphragm? Richard Fisher, London, UK
