...stayed away from street food and stuck with pricier fare. Thailand's recently elected Prime Minister, Samak Sundaravej, boasts a famous palate; before he assumed the P.M. post, Samak hosted his own TV cooking show. But during a trip to neighboring Laos earlier this week, Samak sampled a chili-paste-and-fermented-fish concoction at a local market, and found to his considerable discomfort that the dish disagreed with him. On April 1 - and, no, this was no April Fool's joke - local newspapers put coverage of the Prime Minister's diarrhea on the front page. Hospitalized for food poisoning...
Bill Clinton came from a little town called Hope. Chairman Mao sprung from the chili-eating village of Shaoshan, a place whose entire economy now relies on promoting its native son. So it's instructive to think for a moment of the rural district of Kepala Batas, home to Malaysia's Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

"Then there's no question of sustainability," he says. So Osborn set up the Elephant Pepper Company, buying surplus chilies left over from what was needed for elephant deterrents and turning them into sauce. Initially he worked from his kitchen in Harare, Zimbabwe, making around 500 bottles of hot sauce a year, which he sold in local supermarkets. Today, with the help of new partner Michael Gravina, he has expanded, selling some chilies...
...Osborn's conservation methods are proving to be as popular as his hot sauce. It's a perfect win-win. With its rising funds, the Trust now trains wardens from as far away as India and Vietnam in chili deterrence. Wildlife groups from Sumatra to the Serengeti, including the Worldwide Fund for Nature, now use chilies to control elephants. Meanwhile, farmers who are growing chilies in Livingstone have seen their annual income triple from $90 before planting their new cash crop to $300 a year now. Osborn hopes the new Elephant Pepper sauces will create a demand that will allow...
