    it has not a single ingredient in common with the real Gazpacho. Not every veggie cold soup is a Gazpacho. Gazpacho is an actual recipe with a set list of ingredients and tons of history behind it. It's like calling a cranberry vodka a Bloody Mary. Not the same thing. And it's pretty offensive to Spanish cuisine.

    So, it's not a "classic" tomato-based gazpacho; big deal. It's not a crime against humanity. You seem incredibly uptight about this. And, the notion that this dish is "offensive" to Spanish cuisine is a ridiculous assertion. Only an obnoxious fanatic would take umbrage at this, so, even making that assertion is just silly.

    When you remove 90% of a recipe's ingredients, and add another bunch that would never be added by the culture who invented the recipe, and who have been doing it for over 4 centuries, is not a new iteration; it's a different dish. A possbly great dish, but a different one. There are different versions of Gazpacho, but they all have the same core ingredients and tase somewhat similar --because it's the same dish. Some add a splash of vinegar, others a bit of lemon juice, some add some garlic and make a hybrid with a Salmorejo, some don't add bread, some do, etc etc etc. That is innovation, that is respecting the actual recipe and adapting it to your taste and creativity. Making a complete new recipe with diffferent ingredients that if any Spaniard would see/tase will not even be able to recongnise as a "gazpacho" is not a "cucumber gazpacho with watermelon"; it's a cold veggie soup, or whatever other name you'd like to give it. The same way not every tomato soup is a "gazpacho" either. I'd be the same thing that if you take a paella, and you add some green peas. Well, it's not the traditional recipe, but it's recognizable, it stills looks and feels, and tastes similar to a paella. But if instead of paella rice (similar to arborio rice) you use basmati or long rice, add some fish sauce insteat of stock, and soy sauce instead of salt, and then crack and egg on top to scamble it...guess what? You made something like a fried rice, but you did not make a paella... @@btschumacher19
