National Gazpacho Day: This is a Food Holiday (recipe found here)
Gazpacho is a cold Spanish / Portuguese tomato-based raw vegetable soup, originating in the southern region of Andalucia. Gazpacho is widely consumed throughout Spain, neighboring Portugal (where it is known as gaspacho) and parts of Latin America. Gazpacho is mostly consumed during the summer months, due to its refreshing qualities and cold serving temperature.
Our readers ask us why is Gazpacho Day in December; a winter month- when gazpacho is a popular summer soup. Well we couldn't actually find the answer to that because we couldn't find the origin of this holiday. But if we were to guess... December was picked because this soup is a COLD soup. Which means it's best eaten cold and since December is a winter month we have to assume it's in honor of winter. If anyone has more information about this holiday please do post it here.
