The large small print:
1. The tomatoes are grown in Extremadura province especially for this purpose, much as pumpkins are grown for Haloween. To quote Monty Python, "They're not so much for eating as for hand-to-hand combat."
2. Nobody gets injured. No animals are harmed in the making of these films and photos. Much better than bullfighting.
3. If you do not like the pictures, that's OK; I won't be offended. But, please, don't hurl any of those rotten tomatoes in my direction.
