You say tomato. In Spain, they say tomate.

And in Bunol, Spain, it's time for the annual La Tomatina festival, the epic Iberian food fight that draws thousands of adventure-seekers and saucy Spaniards alike to partake in an hour of pulp-pelting, tomato-laced fun. It’s estimated that around 120,000 pounds of tomatoes (it's a fruit, not a vegetable) are tossed at this annual fiesta, which began in 1945.
