I am a Spaniard. So I can tell you that if you take out the bread from the recipe, it won't be a gazpacho anymore, neither add banana pepper (that's not spaniard cuisine). Also, You got to have for sure: tomatos,onion,garlic,cucumber,green bell pepper,salt,black pepper,vinegar,olive oil,bread &water - 3/31/11

While this dish originated in Spain, the version I grew up with is a variation from Sonora Mexico, which has no bread and uses Jalapeno instead of the banana pepper, Mexican ("key") limes instead of vinegar, the addition of cilantro & garlic, and a liberal amount of tomato juice as the base. - 6/3/12
