Fun Fact Friday - Battle of the Oranges

Yesterday, my darling husband asked me to help drawing a picture for him. And I did. And it was awesome. Which leads me to today's fun fact, which you might think would be about drawing, but it's not. It's about oranges.

Fun fact: The people of Ivrea, Italy, celebrate the beginning of Lent by throwing oranges at each other.

I do not know if these Eporediese antics are widely known, but it is apparently the largest food fight in Italy. Except for that one time with Burlesconi, his bunga bunga girls, and the limp noodles, but they don't talk about that anymore.

The origins of the Battle of the Oranges are unclear, but why on earth would I bring up this fun fact? Because my darling husband wanted me to draw a different kind of battle of the oranges. I have a skill for drawing vampiric blood oranges, and really, I just wanted to share it with you, dear reader. Also because food fights, at least in theory, are interesting.

Until next time!
