【题目】In Spain, there are as many gazpachos (西班牙冷汤菜)as there are Spanish people. Every family here has its own recipe with its own little changes.

I much prefer gazpacho mil do in a food mill,as that: allows tor some texture (口感),and that is the way it was made when I was young, Nowadays it is done in a blender, an electric machine tor mixing soft foods mil liquid together, but it does not torn out exactly the same. Machine-blended gazpacho with bread and olive oil is more like a salmorejo (chilled tomato soup) , but without that soup’s creamy smoothness.

Although tomatoes and peppers arrived on our tables by the 16th century, red gazpachos that mod them did not become popular until the 19th century. Big landowner families that had a lot of country employees generally had a “gazpachero”, a man who would prepare gazpacho for the peasants working on their estates. These men made gazpacho by pounding the vegetable mixture in an olive wood bowl, as in a mortar. They were very patients,as it took quite some time.

The main difference between gazpacho and some of its variations lies in texture and emulsion (乳状液).In a classic Spanish gazpacho,olive oil is simply stirred

in at the end; in salmorejo, porra and other soups? the olive oil is emulsified, resulting in rd brighter orange colour and a smooth, creamy texture. Pipirrana's components are the same as those in gazpacho,but they arc cut into pieces; with the addition of a little water or ice cubes,it turns into a liquid salad,and the bread is served separately ,for dipping.

Gazpacho is a sophisticated (复杂的)dish that takes to a multitude of variations. But with all its versatility (易变),it still requires a certain balance of components. In particular, too much vinegar or garlic can ruin it

Here in Spain,gazpacho can be a drink,a a dip,a sauce or seasoning, a starter* a main dish,even a dessert. It is eaten at any time ot the day and at any time during a meal. Nothing is more delicious than a piece of toast with a little gazpacho or salmorejo for breakfast! Gazpacho goes well with almost everything but is difficult to pair with wine. The best wines to drink with gazpacho are sherries (fortified wines from Jerez) and whites.
