I would much rather take part in whatever harvest festival that is in Spain where those present pelt themselves with tomatoes. It sounds like a lot more fun than running from something weighing 700 poounds with sharp horns.

Or as the late (?) great (and unfortunately liberal) Tom Lehrer said in a song about bull fighting


"There is surely nothing more beautiful in this world.... then the sight of a lone man......... facing single-handedly......half a ton of angry...........pot roast".

The food fight you speak of takes place at the Plaza Del Pueblo in the town of Bunol late August every year.  I agree that it is more my speed than the running of the bulls.
