There are a couple tricks one can use to cool the burn from spicy foods. Avoid alcohol; alcohol is a solvent to capsacin, the heat component in spicy foods. Drinking alcohol, even an ice cold beer can actually make the burn worse by spreading it throughout your mouth and throat. Avoid Carbonated Beverages or any water based drink. Capsacin is an oil based compound. Water won't touch it. Drink milk. The lactic acid in milk break the bonds of capsacin and attaches the molecules to it. In effect it washes the burn away. If you try it you will immediately notice the effect. You will notice in Thai restaurants that a bowl of sugar is on every table. Thai food is notoriously spicy to westerners, although many of us are not as aware of it as we should be. It is said that a spoonful of sugar taken after a too spicy bite will cool the heat. Considering the love/hate relationship between oil and carbon (sugar is a carbon), it probably works to some degree.

It is possible to smell food when it is cold. However, it is much easier to smell food when it is hot. The heat gives off thermal energy, which makes it simpler to smell. Because hot food is much simpler to smell, hotter food often tastes better than colder food. If a food smells good to someone, then it often has a better taste, too. Edit: If the cold food has spice on it, then yes! Or if it has garlic in it!
