December 6 Gazpacho Day

December 6 Gazpacho Day


Today day is December 6 Gazpacho Day observed in US and all over the world. Gazpacho is a soup made of raw vegetables and served cold, originating in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia. Gazpacho is widely eaten in Spain and neighboring Portugal (Portuguese: gazpacho), particularly during the hot summers, as it is refreshing and cool.
The original Spanish Gazpacho recipe includes stale bread, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, onion and garlic, olive oil, wine, vinegar, water and salt.
Gazpacho has ancient roots. There are a number of theories of its origin, including as a soup of bread, olive oil, water and garlic that arrived in Spain and Portugal with the Romans and also with the addition of vinegar. Once in Spain, it became a part of And allusion cuisine, particularly Córdoba and Seville, using stale bread, garlic, olive oil, salt, and vinegar, similar to ajoblanco.
During the 19th century, the red gazpacho evolved when tomatoes were added among the ingredients. This version was spread internationally. (With material from Wikipedia)
