Nadur witnesses first big-scale tomato-war [26/07/04]
Tens of people took part in a tomato-war held on Sunday afternoon in a field close to Dahlet Qorrot Bay. The tomato-war was organised as part of this year's Summerfest, the annual weekend of party at Dahlet Qorrot Bay. Participants were divided into two groups and each group had thousands of tomatoes to shoot at the other. Meanwhile, june29th.com's tomato-war story sparked a debate between two of Malta's most renowned anthropologists, with Dr Vicki Ann Cremona saying she has problems with people taking up traditions that were never theirs, and Ranier Fsadni claiming that when traditions are borrowed they are transferred to a different context and it's better to focus on whether the borrowing is creative or dull. For the maddened people hurling tomatoes at point blank on Sunday, it surely wasn't dull.
