Not-so-fine dining at the Land O'Lakes Teen See - Food! Fear Factor

After this feast - you might rather have a famine!  Twelve brave souls faced the horrors of a Paul inspired feast.  Starting off gently with onions, artichoke, and yuca, the feast progressed to include: garlic pickled tomato, spam w/ sauerkraut, green Jackfruit, beets, perserved kumquats, pepperfish, cat food, soy skin, sailfish meat creamed rice, eggplant, milkfish in tomato sauce, clam juice, baby food, squid, cracker with wasabee, Limburger cheese, Jalapeno peppers, marmite and a snake fish.  Every contest held strong until the Limburger cheese took down five contestants in one shot.  Then came the final round with the dreaded Durian fruit - illegal in some countries due to its raucous smell.  CJ, Troy, Adam, Nicki, and Natalie held tough till the very end, but the audience voted and settled a tie between Troy and Adam.  Adam won the $50 prize, but all our finalists got bragging rights!
