I still think you shouldn't deny a qualified candidate employment because they smell like different food than the stuff you eat, but I guess I'm in the minority on that one.

I don't think you can judge the guy from this one instance. If he says being in the same room for 20 minutes left him nauseous for the rest of the day, then who can argue? That his experience differs from your own doesn't necessarily mean he's lying.
However, you did sort of mention that the ethnic smelling fellow was the best person for the job. If this was truly the case why didn't he try to resolve the issue so they could hire him? There are other reasons but lacking another reason I think you could still file this under possible evidence but requiring further proof.
