Discovering Gazpacho History



 

Gazpacho Clip Art.gifLet’s go on an explorative fact-finding mission, the history of gazpacho is what we’re after….

Gazpacho is a liquid salad from the southern Spanish region of Andalusia, I have longed to visit this literal hot-spot.  It is typically made with ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, garlic and lemon juice.  It is Andalusia’s best known dish and probably originated as a soup. 

The emergence of gazpacho out of its Spanish roots is said to be the result of Eugenia de Montijo, the wife of the French emperor Napoleon III in the 19th century.  Gazpacho was little known throughout the world before 1930.  And American cookbook published in 1963 states, “gazpacho, the soup-salad of Spain, has become an American food fashion.”  Too true, American being a melting pot, eh?

Watch out for the upcoming Traditional Gazpacho Recipe.
