Gazpacho is not usually spicy at all. You don't add any kind of spices to make it spicy.

[edit] Bread as main identifier?

Since bread is not used in many of the Gazpacho recipes, wouldn't the main identifier be that it is served cold? I realize this also defines Borscht, but it seems a closer identifier than the use of bread in the recipe.

[edit] Ajo

Some spanish gazpachos are having as much garlic raw, that one tear despairly,and there are gazpachos without bread at all. The stale bread is for get thicker and nourishing. The gazpacho was poor person meal in southern Spain, not only Andalusia. Anselmocisneros 19:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] gazpacho salad?

Does anyone know about gazpacho salad? It's a dish that I had in Mississippi that's apparently in every Church cookbook on the Gulf coast for the last 300 years. Basically it's all the ingredients of gazpacho layered with crushed hard tack and set aside until the bread soaks up most of the liquid. Does anyone know the history of the dish? Or how it became such a staple in the South?

[edit] Red Dwarf

Serving it cold played a major role in British TV show Red Dwarf... AnonMoos (talk) 09:02, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Soup or juice?

Why is the gazpacho named as a soup everywhere but in Spain? The ingredients are not boiled at all, which seems to be one of the major characteristics according to Wikipedia ("soup"). I think it would be more appropiate to define it as a kind of juice or just "squeezed salad".

(The definition for soup in Wikipedia reads as: "Soup is a food that is made by combining ingredients such as meat or vegetables in stock or hot/boiling water, until the flavor is extracted, forming a broth. It is sometimes confused with stew.") —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.54.142.178 (talk) 13:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree partly with you there. It's not cooked and so really is more of a juice - but it's popularly referred to as a soup. Anyone wanting to learn about it would be looking in the direction of soups.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 22:43, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
