There was a massive food fight last week … nah, not at Woo! We value our panini very highly and appreciate every last mouthful! 🙂 Anyway … we couldn’t get tens of thousands of people in our lovely coffee shop … as much as we’d like to … but that’s how many people hurled tonnes of ripe tomatoes at each other, in an annual food fight that leaves the eastern Spanish town of Bunol covered in red juice, pulp and all things tomatoey!!
Oooooooh!!!
More than 40,000 people, including many visitors from Britain, Austraila and the United States, took part in the fight known as the “Tomatina”. It’s now in its 64th year!
The town council provided the fighters with over 100 tonnes of tomatoes. The battle lasted about one hour and although Woo is a lover not a fighter, as you can see (and as reports confirmed) … “Many men were shirtless” so Woo approves!!! Tomatina’s for all! Tomatina’s for all!!
After the battle, local residents and workers used giant hoses to clear the walls and streets of the tomato pulp in just half an hour ….. while the participants headed to a nearby river. Temporary showers were set up and allegedly, much Woo was drunk!!! 🙂
Remember remember the 25th of September!!!
