I have seen anecdotal mention in modern Andalusian cookbooks that 
gazpacho is derived from or is actually a Moorish/Maghribi dish, 
meaning "torn bread". Now, bread in Arabic is "chobs" ("ch" as in 
Scottish "loch"), so i can strain and get half the word. I've also 
seen modern recipes are for "white" gazpacho, made with oil, vinegar, 
bread, garlic, etc., but without New World stuff like bell peppers 
and tomatoes

Anyone know of any reality to the tale?
