The 'cultural pursuit' of Spanish Bullfighting gets massive subsidies from the E.U. taxpayers every year - and UK repeated UK protests - year after year- are powerless to stop it. Without the EU bullfighting would collapse thru lack of funds.
I admit to being curious about the custom/ flair etc- it seems to be wrapped up in Flamenco and although its not very PC I will attend and think of all you taxpayers subsidising my ticket when I go to a top bullfight next year
Meanwhile- my bullfighting joke:
The worlds most famous Gastronome is in Spain at the time of the bullfights- at a restaurant at dinner- a fanfare of trumpets and a matador is carried into the place amid much applauding and excitement- he is sat at table and the chef appears- he lifts up the silver salver - and there are 2 great rounds of cooked meat in sauce: the matador eats the huge meal to continuous cheering.
The gastronome calls the waiter- explains who he is and asks - what was that dish?
Senor- it was the bulls testicles from the bullfight. As you are so famous signor- shall we prepare the same for you tomorrow night?
Yes- yes pease - Si
The next evening he sits and waits for his dinner: the crowd- a little subdued- files in and the chef serves him- lifts the silver salver to reveal.....
2 very small shrivelled rounds of meat
With an apology and tears in his eyes the waiter shrugs his shoulders and says
'Sorry signor- sometimes the bull- he win'
