So, here we are. 4th of July. Independence Day. The Most Sacred Celebration in our Nation's secular canon. A time to reflect upon the ideals our nation was founded upon and our efforts in striving to live up to those ideals. An opprotunity to gratefully cheer the wisdom of those who wrote our Constitution.

Vinegar De Jerez, friends. Chili flakes, Olive Oil, V8.. Chop or blend and blend & chop 😜Croutons for garnishAll Good
Does anyone remember The Almovodar film that's set in ( I think Madrid or Barcelona,)where the gazpacho gets spiked with sleeping pills or barbituates? Amazing film.The Gaspacho looks so effing good in that film, and it's blended ! Spaniards drink from glass, in the film at least OleWait, wait ( don't tell me ) SMOKED FUCKING PAPRIKA. Damn, cayenne chili flakes, what was I THINKING ?!?!
That being said - does any one know a decent white gaspacho recipe ?!?! Googled one on the internet & struck out. Three cloves raw garlic mixed with bread and whatever else is upchuck time, ( really, these internet self-proclaimed Martha Stewarts...)
Yes, the Worcestershire sauce is necessary for the umami. But I'm with you on the sherry vinegar, and I take about a third of the veggies and dice them finely, only pureeing the other two-thirds. Then add the diced to the pureed, chill, and yum.
Would've been better than those dried out Oysters ! There's no oyster liquor in their shells -shucked hours before plating. I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell U
That's the kid. Remind me of that when I flee from Twitter bcse a quote of mine ends up in the script of oh hell, what's that movie w/Matt Damon -Elysium.I kid you not. I'm literally afraid to go back on Twatter. S'kay, Twatter bores me, I must've not used it right
This makes a fine gazpacho as is, PROVIDED you have fine home/locally grown tomatoes. If you just have Safeway's "bred to travel" type, chop all veggies, put them in the blender, add flavorants (some people like woostah, some don"t), and top off the blender with between 3/4 or all of a bottle of pasilla, or strained tomatoes. I am sure there are Spanish/Mexican labels, I use Itallisima.
I also think some of you are thinking of samorejo, but maybe not. Jus' sayin'.
Another important tip - V8 instead of regular tomato juice.
Gazpacho is a soup, not a smoothie or a dip. If you need chunks, add them after the gazpacho is puréed in the food processor.
No thanx. I'm good.

"The Garden Patch." I'm sure lots of people are using them to grow their own - we just raise tomatoes.
Thank-You !😊
(I was actually just kidding around. I've never eaten it!)

ProTip: We're all just kidding around. Most of the time, anyway. There are moments of sanity and seriousness, of course. But then the rum kicks in.
