Makes it's own Sauce

La Tomatina, Bunol, Spain
On the last Wednesday in August the population of this small town near Valencia gets together to throw overripe tomatoes at each other. As part of a week-long festival that features a paella cook-off the night before, the carnage starts after a member of the townsfolk climbs a pole to grab a fresh ham. As soon as the ham is down, it's every man for himself as tomatoes are hurled wildly at anything that moves. The mayhem then continues for an hour or two until everyone looks like a pizza base and a cannon is fired to tell them all to calm down.
...thing is...seems like a lot more guys than gals participate in the event...
We think it'd be more fun to squeeze a girl's tomatoes than a guy's...
pics from last weeks event are HERE
