The
great cultural extravaganza Spanish food fight festival, La Tomatina
is here. Hope you enjoyed my last year’s tomato and meat recipe,
Meatballs with Fire Roasted Tomato Sauce. The fest gets popular from
year to year with the streets of Bunol running blood red with juicy
tomato. The festival is welcomed by singing, dancing, parades,
fireworks etc.
The
festival is complete fun but let's adhere to the rules as well. Just
have a look:-
-Bring
your goggles to avoid acidic tomato pulp going into the eyes
-Squish
tomatoes before throwing on one another such that it does not hurt
anyone
-Avoid
bottles and other sharp objects
-Girls
must wear bikini underneath clothes
-Wear
tight and strong shoes.
