    Help w/Gazpacho

    And I forgot: a nice dash of good olive oil. Also in some parts of Spain when they serve Gazpacho, they give you vegetables, hard boiled egg and serrano ham, all cut in cubes so you can top your gazpacho with them, as you prefer. Some people also add croutons.

    I got some plaice and trout fillets ?
