You’ll never catch me donating my precious homegrown tomatoes to La Tomatina, a giant food fight that’s held in Buñol, Spain on the last Wednesday of every August. Still, it must be a pretty bizarre and amazing experience, and I’d certainly rather be pelted with relatively soft, ripe tomatoes than with oranges, as they throw in Ivrea during Carnival.

Raw tomato sauce, anyone?
