An American heats gazpacho in the microwave and TikTok jumps on her: "You have declared war on Spain"

Gazpacho is a summer staple. With just a few tomatoes, a little olive oil and a few vegetables, we will obtain a cold and very delicious soup. A basic of Andalusian cuisine and Spanish gastronomy, without going into variants such as salmorejo or gazpacho of other products such as watermelon.

Tourists who visit our country also do not want to leave without trying the famous gazpacho. This is the case of Sarah, a young American who has shared on TikTok the moment when she drinks a glass of Hacendado brand gazpacho, marketed by Mercadona.

The young woman starts little by little. She pours a small amount into a glass. She grabs a spoon and gets to work. Judging by her face, she doesn't like gazpacho too much. She tries again, but she is not convinced, neither by the taste of it nor by the fact that it is cold.

The situation could get even worse. This American can't think of anything else but to put the glass with the gazpacho in the microwave, to give it a little temperature. However, she doesn't like it hot either. The young woman emphasizes: "I like tomato soup better."

And the networks have not been able to contain themselves with that gesture. "Has the gazpacho just been heated?" asks one user. "It doesn't heat up," adds another along with several surprised faces. Others go further: "You have declared war on Spain."
