GazpachoGazpacho soup, also known as gazpacho, is a cold, tomato-based Cuisine of Spain soup that is popular in warmer areas and during the summer. It is usually spicy, but a milder variant has also become popular. In both fiction and real life, there have occurred embarrassing situations in which a show-off is chastened for insisting that his or her cold soup be heated up. ==Sample recipe== ===Ingredients=== *1 lb /450 g tomatoes *1/2 lb / 225 g green peppers *1/2 cucumber *clove of garlic *a few coriander leaves (cilantro) *1/4 chilli pepper, seeds removed (optional, leave out if you want a milder soup) *2 oz / 50 g white bread, 2-3 days old (also optional, leave out for a thinner soup) *1/2 mild Spanish onion *1 tbsp balsamic vinegar *2 tbsp olive oil *1/3 pt iced water *Sea salt and black pepper *Ice cubes ===To Garnish:=== *2 tomatoes, skinned *1/2 green pepper *1/4 peeled cucumber *2 slices stale white bread, crusts removed ===Method=== Skin the tomatoes and cut into quarters. Remove seeds and stalks from peppers. Peel the cucumber and cut into chunks. Tear up the bread and soak it in water for 30 minutes and then squeeze it dry. Cut up the onion. Blend all the ingredients until roughly chopped, not too fine, because the soup should have texture and discernible vegetable bits. Pour into large bowl with some ice, add salt and pepper. Then prepare the garnishes. Dice the bread and fry it in a little olive oil until brown. Chop the other vegetables finely. Serve in separate little bowls on the table, so that guests can sprinkle on their own toppings. Serve chilled. ==Gazpacho soup in fiction== * In the science fiction series ''Red Dwarf'', one character (Red Dwarf characters#Arnold Rimmer) dies in a radiation leak. His last words are 'gazpacho soup'. Later, when resurrected as a hologram, he is persuaded to explain why these were his last words. He recounts the sad story of his humiliation as a young officer cadet, in which he embarrassed himself in front of senior officers by complaining to the waiter that the gazpacho soup was cold. Rimmer ends up eating a 'bowl of piping hot gazpacho soup'. * In Pedro Almodovar's 1987 film ''Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown'' (''Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios''), different characters help themselves to gazpacho which has been spiked with barbiturates by Pepa (Carmen Maura) and instantly fall into a deep and long sleep. * In The Simpsons series episode [3F03] - Lisa the Vegetarian, Lisa Simpson pronounces the following piece of dialogue: 'Good news, everyone! You don't have to eat meat! I made enough gazpacho for all... It's a tomato soup, served ice cold!' ==External links== *[http://www.mediterrasian.com/delicious_recipes_gazpacho.htm Gazpacho recipe] *[http://www.cellartastings.com/en/food-spanish-recipes.html Spanish Recipes] ==Gazpacho in pop culture== Gazpacho is a song by progressive rock band Marillion from the Afraid of Sunlight (Album) (1995) Soups Spanish cuisine GazpachoI am a software developer at a Seattle company. I attended Stanford University for my master's degree and before that was in East Tennessee, where I grew up. My interests are in computing and Western history. One particular area of history I've taken an interest in, which might seem surprising, is the history of roads (all kinds, rail, trail, paved). I think my interest comes from watching a documentary about the rediscovery of the Arabian fort of Ubar. After falling in the first century A.D., it was found nearly 2000 years later by following the traces of unimproved roads through the open desert. You have to respect anything that durable. Roads that connect human settlements are economically significant to those settlements. In a war, they're militarily significant. If they're big enough, then they're historically significant. Great roads never die, they just get renamed. ==Articles to which I have been a leading contributor== Anglo-Cherokee War - Anthony Poshepny - Bonus Army - Burton W.

I will add any replies here, so set a watch on this page. This page was archived [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Gazpacho&oldid=15236369 June 15, 2005] == Appalachian Development Highway System == You ask what Highways it created. It is charged with Creating over 3000 miles of Highways. Todate it is nearly 85% complete, unless additional miles are added. It is independent of the Dixie Highway. The Dixie Highway was a contemporary of the Lincoln Highway, mostly pushed by the Good Road Society, and they predate the US Highway act that introduced the numbering system (comment by User:71Demon) * Since you have interest and live in the south maybe you can help expand the entries for the other corridors. http://www.aaroads.com/arc/ Many have local websites for each. I have detailed information on the ones in my area. (comment by User:71Demon) I do have a question, that I would like to get your opinion on. Corridor H, Should it be the primary name instead of US 48, and have a seperate entry for US 48. US 48's name has been reused 3 times. I-68 was once US 48, also the number was used in California.

Please post on the project's talk page if you show interest.
