Tomato soups on streets during La Tomatina!!


                      One of the interesting ways of using tomato can be found during La Tomatina. La Tomatina, a famous festival, is celebrated in Valencia(Spain) during last Wednesday of August. The specialty of this festival is it involves lot of tomatoes not for eating but for fighting!! Yes you read it right. Tomatoes for fighting. This is portrayed as one of the bizarre yet interesting festivals celebrated around the world. 

                        The history of this La Tomatina is ambiguous and there was not  single conclusive evidence which explains the reason of this festival, Nevertheless this festival is celebrated with tremendous enthusiasm in Spain. There will be a rocket firing on Wednesday to indicate the start of La Tomatina and the action starts from there. It goes on for another hour and again a rocket firing will mark the end of the festival. We can't spot a color other than red during this festival in Spain.

                        Had Spain been the only country in earth, Earth would have got the name RED PLANET ahead of Mars!!
