Gazpacho and ? ? ?

stark said:

We usually mainline a large bowl for supper. Don't make it with bread
but have bread on the side, either rustic loaf or cornbread. And it's
pretty filling with all the fresh veggies. And we make enough for
seconds. But what goes along with that cold, strong, fresh taste? Any
little side nosh? And wine doesn't seem right either. How about
sangria? Any thoughts, bitte?

I'd go with warm bread, cheeses and an assortment of good cured olives.

Sounds good to me! I have decided that, whatever is the original
recipe, I don't like bread *in* gazpacho tho' eating good bread
with it is very appropriate. I seldom drink other liquids with
any soup but some ice-water could be good to finish with.

Sangria works for me. I usually add diced boiled eggs on top of the
soup, if I do not serve deviled eggs as an appetizer. Hot French bread
with lots of butter.

How about cucumbers salad or some such? Slice peeled cucumbers, add
sliced or chopped onions along with a simple vinegar/oil combination.
Something simple.

Last time we had gazpacho we had marinated, spicy, large grilled
shrimp, and (very uncharacteristically, but we had guests whom it
suited) glasses of cold whole milk. -aem

I'd have a dryish white bread (say, Cuban style) and a bottle of Rioja or
similar, Jumilla (very reasonably priced).
Perhaps a flan that had been previously baked.

Make it a feast, if possible.

Serrano ham, or salumi on the side. Or small grilled sausages. Just
to round out the protein a little bit. Manchego cheese, green olives
marinaded in EVOO for four hours. Sardines or anchovies.

I don't know who started it, but diced avocado added to each bowl
of gazpacho is now a classic.

Sherry?

I made gazpacho last week and was set to serve it with a Trimbach gewertz
(which usually goes pretty nicely) but decided last moment to open a bottle
of Chimay Grande Reserve Ale (blue label).

It was a very decent match. BTW the recipe I use has bread in the soup.

Thanks all. Enough ideas for a feast.

The temptation was too much, so I had gazpacho for lunch. I am so weak.<g>

I will have to say the opposite for this Chimay served with gazchapo -- for
me, definitely not.

Beer. And homemade garlic croutons made with GOOD bread.
