The original gazpacho could not have been a tomato-based salad-soup. It looked, one supposes, like the white gazpacho with its grapes and garlic. The post-Columbian, tomato-based gazpacho still carries the mark of its old-fashioned ancestor, stale bread, as antique as the Roman legions who brought ur-panzanella with them to Spain and started gazpacho on its forward march to global fame and fusion.
