The Asian Student Interest Advocates, or A.S.I.A for short, is currently organizing an event called the Asian Fear Factor Food Challenge. This event will be held on 7pm 28th October, at Dale Hall room 211. This is the first annual Asian Fear Factor Food Challenge, and it is a social and cultural event, opened to all members of the OU Community, where various authentic and exotic Asian cuisines will be served.

This event will have a Fear Factor element, as most of the cuisines featured are delicacies not common to most people, although they are eaten by specific groups of people from around the world. It is going to be a challenge to actually eat the food. Examples of items served are 100 year-old-egg, chicken feet, beef tripe and bitter gourd. Participation is opened to all OU students, and by all, we mean all.

The Dishes
As strange as the dishes may look or sound, there are two facts that might be of some comfort to you. All food served in this competition, are eaten by some people, somewhere in the world. We'll introduce the food and its origins before each food is consumed. Also, all food served, can be purchased in the Asian Supermarket in Oklahoma City. Rest assure that no stray creatures from Norman are being harmed in this competition. Please note however, that all food that will be served that night, will be non-halal.

Are You "THE ONE" with the iron stomach?
To the brave soul out there, we dare you, to take up this challenge. $400 in cash prize awaits the one who outwits, outruns and outlasts the rest. Cost to join this competition, is a mere $5, which will be due on the day of the event and applicants are given 5 free tickets for supporters to attend. Applications can be picked up at the Center for Student Life, 3rd floor, OMU or download here. All applications are due back at the Center for Student Life by 26th October, 5p.m.

Bon Appetite.
