'something like gazpacho?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'say i don't believe you brought round' is the wordplay.
'say' becomes 'eg' (both can mean for example).
'i don't believe you' becomes 'never' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'brought round' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'eg'+'never'='egnever'
'egnever' written backwards gives 'REVENGE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for revenge that I've seen before include "Satisfaction taken for injury" , "Retribution" , "An eye for an eye" , "Malicious retaliation" , "Ship remembered in verse" .)
