Quadrilha (dança)

Quadrilha (do francês quadrille) é uma modalidade de dança de salão que, no dizer de Câmara Cascudo, foi "a grande dança palaciana do séc. XIX". Era originalmente dançada por quatro pares em formação retangular.
Resultado da mistura de várias danças europeias ao longo dos séculos das quais foi incorporando elementos, especialmente da contradança, teve seu auge no século XIX, quando foi introduzida no Brasil e, com suas variações juninas, voltou a ser praticada nos bailes comemorativos aos santos do mês de junho (São Pedro, São João e Santo Antônio) realizados em cidades como Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Fortaleza e Recife a partir da década de 1990.
No século XIX era uma dança que compunha o protocolo dos bailes palacianos das cortes europeias e da alta sociedade americana e, mesmo se tornando popular, não perdeu o caráter aristocrático.
Foi introduzida no país no começo do século XIX, durante o Período Regencial, "trazida por mestres de orquestras de dança francesas, como Milliet e Cavallier, que tocavam as músicas de Musard, "o pai das quadrilhas", e Tolbecque", no registro de Cascudo.
Sua popularização no Brasil fez com que sua execução em cinco partes ganhasse comandos inesperados e grande duração que terminavam por se constituir no próprio baile (e não uma das danças dele); esses comandos eram gritados pelo "marcante", muitas vezes com repetições e sua prática se espalhou desde a Corte Imperial aos sertões.
Em 1842 o pernambucano Padre Carapuceiro publicava no seu jornal em Recife os versos críticos:

Dia Internacional do Jazz

O Dia Internacional do Jazz é uma comemoração internacional que foi declarada pela Organização das Nações Unidas em 2011 como sendo "para destacar o jazz e o seu papel diplomático de unir as pessoas em todos os cantos do mundo". A data é comemorada anualmente no dia 30 de abril. A ideia veio do pianista de jazz e Embaixador da Boa Vontade da UNESCO, Herbie Hancock. A celebração é reconhecida nos calendários da UNESCO e das Nações Unidas.

A Assembleia Geral da ONU reconheceu formalmente o Dia Internacional do Jazz em seu calendário oficial em dezembro de 2012.
Em novembro de 2018, a Cidade do Cabo, na África do Sul, foi anunciada como a cidade sede de 2020 das comemorações do Dia Internacional do Jazz, tendo sido a primeira vez em que a celebração foi organizada por uma cidade africana.

Quadrilha (crime)

Quadrilha, bando, ou gangue (do inglês gang) são denominações atribuídas a um grupo de pessoas que tem, por objetivo, práticas criminosas ou atividades consideradas ilegais em determinado ordenamento jurídico, com seus integrantes compartilhando uma identidade comum. Entre as gangues mais célebres, podem-se citar os Bloods, os Crips e os Latin Kings.
Houve a modificação do nomenclatura do delito previsto no artigo 288 do Código Penal, conhecido como Quadrilha ou Bando, passando a ser denominado como "associação criminosa". De fato, o termo "associação criminosa" é mais adequado ao caso.
Com a entrada em vigor da Lei 12 850/2013, houve a redução do número mínimo de quatro participantes exigidos para a formação do tipo, agora bastam três para a configuração de uma associação criminosa. Diante da diminuição do número mínimo de pessoas exigido para que haja a associação criminosa, a Lei 12 850/2013 tem natureza de novatio legis in pejus, portanto não pode ser retroativa. Por sua vez, o parágrafo único do artigo 288, com nova redação, além da já conhecida associação armada, passou a prever a figura da participação de criança ou adolescente.
Contudo, o legislador cometeu uma falha, pois considerou que o aumento de pena será até a metade. Percebe-se, assim, que o legislador não fornece ao magistrado parâmetro para a fixação do mínimo de aumento, podendo o juiz aumentar de um dia apenas.
Vale ressaltar que a redação anterior estabelecia aumento de pena em dobro. Na redação nova, o aumento de pena para a participação de criança e adolescente é de 1/6 a 2/3 da pena base.
De acordo com o Código Penal Português, artigo 299, atribui-se o crime de associação criminosa a quem promover, fundar, participar ou apoiar grupo, organização ou associação destinada à prática de crimes. Não se estabelece o número mínimo de integrantes, que deverá ser, logicamente, maior do que dois.
O tema das quadrilhas organizadas é recorrentes no cinema norte-americano. Existem vários filmes do gênero: entre eles, estão, entre os mais conhecidos: Dangerous Minds (1995) - estrelando Michelle Pfeiffer -, The Warriors, Colors, New Jack City e Boyz n the Hood. Em 2004, a Rockstar Games lançou o jogo Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, um jogo que conta a história de um gângster que tenta reerguer sua gangue sobre as demais gangues da cidade. Muitos rappers têm ou já tiveram envolvimentos com gangues, especificamente rappers da costa oeste americana, como 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, Ice T, Eazy-E, MC Eiht.
Brazilian Zouk

Brazilian Zouk is a partner dance which began in Brazil during the early 1990s. Brazilian Zouk evolved from the partner dance known as the Lambada. Over time, Zouk dancers have experimented and incorporated other styles of music into such as R'n'B, pop, hip hop and contemporary.
Brazilian Zouk evolved from the partner dance known as the Lambada. As the Lambada music genre went out of fashion, Lambada dancers turned to Zouk (from the francophone, Caribbean Islands) as their music of choice. It was this transition that birthed the dance known as Brazilian Zouk. The term "Brazilian Zouk" was adopted in order to distinguish the dance style from the musical genre. Nowadays the term "Zouk" is commonly used to refer to the "Brazilian Zouk" dance style.
Brazilian Zouk is a dance with well-defined basic steps and rhythmic patterns. The representation of these steps and rhythmic patterns varies depending on the substyle of Zouk. The overall plasticity of the movements and the range of musical genres it is danced to make Brazilian Zouk a partner dance that caters to creativity and improvisation.
The most characteristic feature of Brazilian Zouk is the follower's upper body movements, which are led out of axis by intricate leading and following techniques. Other features include body isolations, tilted turns and more recently counter-balance techniques.
As Brazilian Zouk made a name for itself in the dance community talented and influential dancers began to develop and explore to create more definitive styles, either by sheer development as a Zouk school, or by fusing Zouk with other dance styles such as Bachata, Salsa, Argentinian Tango, Contact Improvisation or West Coast Swing.
As of 2019, two of the most popular branches of Brazilian Zouk are Traditional (Rio) and Lamba. Several styles of Brazilian Zouk have evolved, and the dances continue to evolve as Zouk gains popularity around the world. Styles that are presented at dance schools outside Brazil include:
Many professional Zouk dancers are creating and naming new sub-styles influenced by contemporary dance, hip-hop dance and others.
Although the Zouk dance form originated in Brazil, it is not as typically danced there as other popular forms, like Forró or Samba. While Zouk is rooted in a mixture of Brazilian and African musical and dance forms (primarily Lambada, a dance that was popularized in Brazil in the 1980s), it is increasingly popular outside of Brazil. The majority of Zouk events taking place outside of Brazil occur in Europe and the United States, but also occur in Asia and Latin America. Well-known Zouk events include Brazilian Zouk Jack and Jill Competitions, which are organized worldwide by the Brazilian Zouk Dance Council, The International Zouk Congress, and multiple national Zouk Festival events, which have taken place all over the world. Some of the most well-known zouk dancers include Kadu Pires & Larissa Thayane (both Brazilian), Anderson Mendes & Brenda Carvalho (Brazilian and Brazilian-Peruvian), Renata Peçanha (Brazilian), William Teixera & Paloma Alves (Brazilian-Spanish and Brazilian), and others.

Campeonato Mineiro

The Campeonato Mineiro is the top-flight professional state football league in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. It is run by the Minas Gerais Football Federation (FMF).
The history of Campeonato Mineiro can be divided into two parts: before and after the construction of the Mineirão, in September 1966. The Mineirão is the biggest football stadium of Minas Gerais and it is located in Minas Gerais' state capital, Belo Horizonte. Before the stadium's inauguration América and Atlético were the most successful teams in the state, but after the construction of the Mineirão, known as the "Era Mineirão" ("Mineirão Era"), another team from the capital, Cruzeiro, also gained prominence. Atlético is the most successful team in the competition, having won 50 championships as of 2025, trailed by Cruzeiro with 38 championships.
As with many other Brazilian football state leagues, the Campeonato Mineiro is much older than the Brazilian League itself. This is partly because in the early 20th century Brazil did not have a well established transportation and communication infrastructure, that could help it organize a national league in the country, which was made worse by the nation's enormous size.
Many of the best players in Brazilian football were first seen in the Campeonato Mineiro. Reinaldo, Cerezo, Éder, Ronaldo, Dario and Tostão had their professional football debut in the competition.
: In 2002, the three main clubs in Minas Gerais (América, Atlético and Cruzeiro) plus Mamoré did not take part in the Campeonato Mineiro, because they were competing in the Copa Sul-Minas. Because of this, the Minas Gerais football body created a short tournament called the ‘Supercampeonato Mineiro’ bringing these four teams together with Caldense, winners of the 2002 Mineiro championship.
Teams in bold still active.
RSSSF
Note: Although Cruzeiro considers itself champions of the Campeonato Mineiro in 1926, officially the Atlético Mineiro is the only official champion of this competition. Making officially Cruzeiro have 38 Campeonatos Mineiros.

Macun

Macun (in Turkish also Macun şekeri) is a soft, sweet and colorful Turkish toffee paste. It is a street food that may be prepared with many herbs and spices. Macun originated from spicy preparations of Mesir macunu, a traditional Turkish herbal paste from the classical antiquity period. During classical antiquity, macun was consumed as a pharmaceutical medicine. It was historically served in a round tray with separate compartments for the various flavors, a serving style that has continued into modern times. The consumption of macun is a part of some Turkish customs.
Macun is a street food that is often sold outdoors, especially during street festivals (panayır). It is a popular sweet among children. The color of various macuns may be vivid or bright. Macun may be prepared with a great deal of herbs and spices. Ingredients to flavor macun have traditionally included bergamot, cinnamon, mastic, mint, rose, lemon and plum.
Macun originated from spicy preparations of Mesir macunu, a traditional herbal paste from classical antiquity. During classical antiquity, macun was consumed as a pharmaceutical medicine.
Macun was purported to have therapeutic effects to give the body strength and to calm one's spirit. Islamic physicians have prepared hundreds of different varieties of macun. The various herbs and spices used were mixed with honey in macun preparation, the latter of which also served to preserve the product. Various macuns have been served and consumed as both a medicine and as a confectionery (sweetmeats). During the Ottoman period, macun named Neruz macunu, also referred to as nevruziyye, was consumed as both a medicine and confectionery.
During the 17th century in Turkey, the dervish Seyyid Hasan denoted the consumption of two flavors of macun, respectively flavored with mint and sweet flag. These macun varieties were served at meals he consumed with other dervishes and friends. Hasan was a part of the Sunbuliyye mystic order, as its sheikh.
Macun is typically served in a round tin tray that has separate triangular-shaped compartments. It may be served by scooping using a macuncu mablaği or macunkeș, which is shaped like a screwdriver. The macun is scooped and then wrapped around a small stick. This may be done with alternate flavors, which creates a striped sweet. In Turkey, people that serve macun may be referred to as macuncu.
In the past in Turkey, the serving trays were constructed from copper or wood, and street vendors would stand the macun trays upon portable tripods. Others would carry macun in a container strapped to their waist with a belt, whereby the container had separate compartments for various flavors of the macun. Some macun vendors in Istanbul, Turkey, would try to attract customers and compete with other vendors by playing music. Street vendors would purvey macun to people at the Hıdırellez spring festival, on market days, holidays, at wedding processions, and at other times.
In the Anatolia region, it is a wedding custom for the groom to eat macun on the night of his wedding. The mesir bayrami ceremony in Manisa, Turkey, involves the distribution of macun to people on the streets.
Covenant Health Park

Covenant Health Park is a 7,000-seat sports stadium under construction in Knoxville, Tennessee. Scheduled for completion in March 2025, the stadium will serve as the home baseball park of the Double-A Knoxville Smokies of the Southern League and One Knoxville SC, a Division III soccer team. The stadium is situated within the Magnolia Avenue Warehouse District, just east of Knoxville's Old City.
Plans started as early as 2016 for Randy Boyd to bring the Tennessee Smokies back to Knoxville. The Smokies were last in Knoxville in 2000 at Bill Meyer Stadium before moving to Sevier County. The idea resurfaced in 2019 when the city talked to Boyd Sports about potentially coming back to the city.
In August 2020, Boyd Sports unveiled plans, designed by Populous, partnered with the architect of record GEM Associated Architects which includes Design Innovation Architects and BarberMcMurry Architects, for a new ballpark on the site of an abandoned Lay's meat packing plant. The initial cost would be US$65 million, entirely funded by the city and county. Boyd promised millions in private development around the ballpark, including apartments and community spaces.
After approval from the city, county, and the newly formed sports authority in 2021, the Knoxville-Knox County Sports Authority approved a plan to sell $65 million in bonds to fund a portion of the project. The total projected cost of Grand Slam Knox is $114 million, funded through a combination of local government bonds, a state grant, investment earnings, and contributions from Boyd Sports founder Randy Boyd. Construction is being overseen by Denmark Construction.
On August 27, 2024, Boyd Sports and Covenant Health announced that the new stadium will be called Covenant Health Park for 20 years. The financial details for the name change were not announced.
The Tennessee Smokies will relocate to the new stadium in 2025 and change their name to the Knoxville Smokies. One Knoxville SC will also play home games at the venue beginning in 2025.
The stadium project has generated discussions around parking availability, as no designated stadium parking exists. The city plans to replace some nearby parking lots with park space, relying on existing public and private parking within walking distance. A 2021 study by Knox County projected positive economic benefits for the community. There has been a stated goal to award 17% of contracts to disadvantaged businesses, with efforts by the Knoxville Area Urban League to encourage minority participation in the project.
The stadium faces criticism from some community members who oppose the use of taxpayer funds, advocating for investment in education, safety, and infrastructure instead. Concerns were raised about the project's financial viability, potential for gentrification, and lack of community involvement. Supporters, however, argue the stadium would bring economic revitalization to East Knoxville, serve as a community gathering space, and connect the area to downtown.
Multishow Brazilian Music Award for the Brazil Category

Multishow Brazilian Music Award for Category Brazil is an award given annually at the Multishow Brazilian Music Award, a ceremony established in 1994 and originally called TVZ Award. The Category Brazil was introduced in 2023, with the aim of highlighting regional artists who have not yet achieved national visibility. The finalists are nominated by the Academy of the Multishow Brazilian Music Award, which votes for artists representing all 27 Brazilian states.
The Category Brazil was created in 2023 with the purpose of giving visibility to regional artists who have not yet achieved national recognition. By bringing together representatives from all 27 Brazilian states, the category introduced a new dynamic to the Multishow Brazilian Music Award, focusing on the cultural diversity and musical richness present throughout the country.
Since its debut, the Multishow Brazilian Music Award Academy has played a role in selecting the finalists, choosing artists who are standing out locally in each state. In the initial phase of 2023, the most mentioned songs in each state advanced to the public voting phase, giving the audience the opportunity to support regional talents.
In 2024, the format was consolidated, with the nomination of a representative for each of the 5 regions of Brazil.
Brügger & Thomet MP9

The Brügger & Thomet MP9 (Maschinenpistole 9mm, German for "machine pistol") is a submachine gun chambered for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge that is designed and manufactured by Brügger & Thomet.
The MP9 is a selective-fire submachine gun. It uses 15, 20, 25, and 30 round transparent polymer detachable box magazines. It has three safeties: an ambidextrous safety/fire mode selector switch button (manual safety), a trigger safety, and a drop safety. The MP9 is a development of the Steyr TMP. The design of the TMP was purchased from Steyr in 2001. Differences from the TMP include a stock that folds to the right side of the weapon, an integrated Picatinny rail, and a new trigger safety.
The TP9 is a semi-automatic civilian variant of MP9. Its design is similar to the Steyr SPP, but its differential feature is an underbarrel MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny Rail, which is installed in front of the trigger guard, in place of the forward grip. This was to done to comply with US firearm import laws. The TP9SF is superficially similar, though it is selective-fire rather than semi-auto only. A version chambered in 6.5×25mm CBJ was developed in 2010, requiring only a barrel change to accept the new caliber.
Later variants (TP9-N, TP9-US, MP9-N, MP45) have new designed ambidextrous two/three-position selectors. The old Steyr style cross-bolt push button selectors are replaced with new "HK" style selectors. With the TP9-N B&T decided to add an empty socket (which also includes the hand-stop) for the foregrip, instead of a picatinny rail as with the old TP9. It also comes without a stock, but with an attachment point that can fit various folding or telescoping braces and stocks, should a customer decide to register it as a short barreled rifle and add one. This version is named the TP9-US. The regular TP9-N is identical to the MP9-N, just without full-auto capability.

酱牛肉

酱牛肉是一道牛肉食品，制作方法比較简单。一般被认为是属于清真食品，在中国北方尤其受到欢迎。事实上，酱牛肉在中国已经有上千年的历史，远远早于伊斯兰教的诞生。具体出处由于年代久远，已经不可细考。
在《楚辞》的“大招”和“招魂”篇里的菜谱上都有牛肉的菜谱。在宋朝之前，中国的主要肉食就包括牛羊肉。
清代中期，由河北沧州回族人刘禄发明，此后他开设了酱牛肉的专营店名为“万盛永”。
西安名吃

西安名吃（Xi'an Famous Foods）是一家位在紐約的中式連鎖快餐餐廳，其菜色有肉夹馍、涼麵、羊肉泡馍等西北中国菜。餐廳是在2005年時成立，曾被 Cooking Channel（英语：Cooking Channel）頻道的《Food(ography)》節目、Kelly Choi（英语：Kelly Choi）的《Eat Out NY（英语：Eat Out NY）》節目、安東尼·波登的《波登不設限》節目所報導，也曾在《纽约时报》、《紐約》雜誌、《华尔街日报》、《福布斯》雜誌中有相關報導。在曼哈顿、皇后区和布鲁克林等地都有分店。
王夢迪是西安名吃的負責人。他在中國西安出生，他和家人也是來自西安。他和家人移居到美國後，想念家鄉的料理，因此用了祖父的私房食譜作菜，他們認為也會有人和他們一樣，想念陝西的家鄉料理。
王夢迪的父親之前曾開設珍珠奶茶店，並且在店旁販售食物。王夢迪當時就讀圣路易斯华盛顿大学，在放假時會協助父親作生意。他們很快就發現所販售的食物比珍珠奶茶還要暢銷，因此在2005年下年時，將店舖遷到法拉盛黃金商場的地下室，命名為西安名吃（Xi’an Famous Foods）。
王夢迪在2009年畢業，取得商學士學位，之後曾在其他公司工作一小段時間，之後就決定要和父親一起經營西安名吃。之後西安名吃在曼哈顿及布鲁克林開了八間店。店內有販售涼皮、孜然羊肉夹馍、手扯麵等陝西料理。王夢迪曾告訴紐約時報：「We’re going to keep it pure, because that’s what people are coming to us for。」
候姝

候姝（1982年—），女，中国大陆演员。
2008年凭借电影《疯狂的石头》获得第29届大众电影百花奖最佳女配角提名名单。继《疯狂的石头》电影出演菁菁声名大振后，2009年出演《羊肉泡馍麻辣烫》中的大款娇妻也深入人心。
肉夹馍

肉夹馍，也称腊汁肉夹馍，源自中國陕西的著名小吃。又粗淺分為兩種，一種是使用白吉馍的“腊汁肉夹馍”；另一種是宝鸡西府的肉臊子夹馍（肉臊子中放食醋）。
在关中地区的陕西方言中，人们往往简称夹着其他食料的白吉馍为“夹馍”，然后在前面加上该食料的名称，如花乾（一种用刀剞后油炸的豆腐乾）夹馍，菜夹馍，腊汁肉夹馍。
肉夹馍使用的肉是腊汁肉，是一种用大锅煮制的猪肉，要求煮制时锅中肉汤上有较厚一层油脂，以作保温留香作用，由于油脂较多，冷却后油脂净白如腊、瘦肉也如蜡浸故名腊汁肉；此肉类似酱肉但比一般酱肉酥烂，滋味鲜长。馍使用的馍則是白吉饼，麵是發麵，長時間揉麵讓麵糰較硬，烤製後就會保留獨特的口感，早年使用吊炉，以木炭烤馍，現今多使用燃氣火源。在陕西以外的一些地方，肉夹馍中的肉是以类似制作土耳其烤肉的方法烤制而成。除了肉以外，也有做法是会在其中加入青椒来增加肉夹馍的美味，这一吃法也是广泛认可一种吃法。
陕西地区有使用白吉馍的“腊汁肉夹馍”、宝鸡西府的肉臊子夹馍(肉臊子中放食醋)、潼关的潼关肉夹馍（与白吉馍不同，其馍外观焦黄，条纹清晰，内部呈层状，饼体发胀，皮酥里嫩，火功到家，食用时温度以烫手为佳，且老潼关肉夹馍是热馍夹凉肉，饼酥肉香，爽而不腻）。
肉夹馍与西方的汉堡形夹面包（英語：burger-like sandwich，汉语中通称“堡”）形状相似。
源于南美的arepa与肉夹馍风格相似，前者用玉米粉制成。
陝西菜

陕西菜简称秦菜或陕菜，为发源于陕西的地方菜系，其口味酥烂爽嫩、鲜香、偏酸辣、咸辣。烹饪方法以炝、汆、蒸、炖、烩、炒、酿为主，长于用芡用汤。代表菜品如腊汁肉夹馍、凉皮、油泼面、葫芦头、梆梆肉、牛羊肉泡馍。
秦菜拥有主味突出、香味突出、油料为主、主料突出几大特点。
秦菜主味突出，一个菜虽含很多调味品，但主味只有一个，甜、酸、苦、辣、咸只有一个味出头，含复合味在内的所有其他味均居从属地位。
秦菜香味突出，多选辣椒、陈醋、大蒜和花椒等，其目的是取其香，而并非单纯为了麻、辣、酸。秦菜之取香方法不同于其他菜系：用同样调味料时，其他菜系多选用泡辣椒、辣子豆瓣酱、辣酱油等，秦菜则多选用干辣椒。干辣椒经油烹后拣出，是种辣而不烈的香辣。
秦菜油料为主，用油烹各种调味料来增加香味：蒜、醋、花椒经油烹，辣、酸、麻味减弱，蒜香、醋香、椒香味增强。因此，即使是同一菜品，秦菜的这种为取香而先油烹调味料的特色也使得其味道及烹饪方法与其他菜系不同：例如一道平常的酱爆肉丁，其他菜系多是先下辅料，再下面酱和肉丁，而秦菜则是先下面酱，让面酱发出酱香味后，再下辅料和肉丁，因而秦菜的香味突出。
秦菜主料突出，以牛羊猪肉为主。如大荔的“带把肘子”，即以猪的前肘，用较重的调料，先燎后蒸，绵烂香软。“光头炒肉”，选用瘦肉，不配副料，是取料单一的典型。
陕西菜一般分为南、北、中三个流派，分别为陕南菜、陕北菜、和关中菜。
以汉中、商洛、安康为代表，烹饪方法多釀、熏、 炖。主食米饭，口味酸辣，其中酸味来自浆水菜和酸菜。
以榆林、延安、绥德为代表，主食小米和荞麦。主料多为猪羊，以猪羊合烹为多。口味鲜香酥烂。烹饪方法多釀、熏、 炖。
以西安、铜川、大荔、宝鸡、三原、咸阳为代表，主料多为家禽家畜，主食以面食为多。口味酥烂香肥，味浓料重。
紅油抄手

紅油抄手，是一道源自於中國的四川小吃，其制作方法是抄手上直接淋辣油，也可加入蔥、蛋絲、紫菜等配菜。
红油抄手的“抄手”二字在广州称為“云吞”，在江西称“清汤”、在福建及台灣稱作“扁食”或“扁肉”。
四川话中把馄饨稱作抄手，当地特有的料理方法是将鲜肉馄饨煮熟后，另盛入以辣油为主的酱料中食用。
雖然抄手發展自馄饨，但如今以成為一種獨立食品，抄手的皮比餛飩更加薄而润滑，大小比馄饨更小一些，最有名的是成都的龙抄手。
奥灶面

奥灶面是江苏省昆山市的特色面食，代表品种有昆山奥灶馆的红油爆鱼面和白湯滷鸭面。
奥灶面讲究“三烫”、“三热”或“五热”：碗烫，碗筷放在沸水中取用，具有保暖和消毒卫生的双重功能；汤烫，老汤放在铁锅里，用餘火焖煮，保持温度；面烫，捞面时在沸水中过水；油热；浇头热。因此吃奥灶面即便是在冬天，也很容易冒汗。
奥灶面的浇头选料讲究，采用青鱼或昆山大麻鸭制作。红汤使用青鱼、鳝骨、螺蛳等材料加酱油熬制，白汤使用老鸡、老鸭、猪骨等熬制。面条为细白的龙须面，下锅时速度很快，保持一定的硬度。
“奥灶”名称的由来，取自“奥妙在灶头里”之意。
2009年，昆山奥灶面制作技艺入选江苏省级非物质文化遗产名录。
昆山奥灶馆还推出了奥灶速食麵产品。
美式中国菜

美式中国菜（英語：American Chinese cuisine）是由美國人所改造的中国菜，相比於在東亞地區來說在美國更為流行。其中，美式中国菜与一般中国菜最大的不同是烹饪和调味方式的不同。
中國人移民美國最早始於19世紀中，台山人因為淘金熱和鐵路修建而移居舊金山。由於當時的種族歧視，華人不易找到工作，許多人只能自己開業，而中餐廳也是相當盛行的選項之一。
同一時期在美國南方，奴隸制度廢除後，南方地主引進了中國人種棉花，一些中國人在當地開設餐廳和超市。在當時的種族隔離制度下，白人不做黑人的生意，黑人沒有資本開業，而中國人可以同時做兩邊的生意。
早期中国人在小村庄裡開設提供豬排三文治、苹果派、豆類、蛋類等菜式的小餐廳。这些小型餐厅发展了模仿中国菜，结合美国人口味的美式中国菜。这些菜式最早是提供给華工食用。他們參照中国菜炒的方法發明李鴻章杂碎，且发展了非地道的中国菜模式。
至20世紀中後期，不少台灣和香港人移民美國，成為另一批美式中餐廳的業主。
至21世紀初，由於中國經濟發展，美國出現了許多較富有的中國移民和留學生，隨之而來的是針對此客群的中國餐廳，販售中國各地的菜餚（而不限於香港和台灣菜），並且大多不會針對非華裔美國人的口味改造。
2011年，美国国家历史博物馆在“酸与甜：美国的中国菜历史（Sweet & Sour: A Look at the History of Chinese Food in the United States）”专区内展示历史上美國华人的飲食文化。
美式中国菜主要用蔬菜作為配菜和伴碟。中國菜會以绿叶蔬菜和肉类、海鲜為主要食材。
當地華人的中餐館，分為「人餐」和「鬼餐」兩類，前者的主要客戶以華人為主，後者以非華人為主。對非華人顧客會提供写有英语或附带图片的菜单，對華人則提供中文菜單，推介豬肝、鳳爪或其他未必適合非華人口味的食品。
在美式中国菜中，爆炒、油煎和炸这三种用炒锅就能轻而易举完成的中餐烹調法最為常用。
炒饭在美式中国菜的烹調方式也有所不同，例如在炒饭上添加更多调味。而有些食品如点心會被改良至适合美国人的口味，例如在小炒内添加勾芡和較多酱油。而受中國菜影響而來的美式小炒會以糙米代替白米，或加上芝士粉来制作，而傳統中國菜甚少用牛奶製品。
美式中国菜餐厅通常包含中国菜各地菜譜，並改良得較清淡、較濃稠和較甜去迎合美國民眾的口味，普遍同時提供3至5個不同中國菜系的食物，例如李鸿章杂碎或回锅肉、「8种不同的酸甜小炒」或「一大堆20种不同的炒面或炒饭」。
除了源自中國的菜餚，其他諸如沙律、寿司、刺身等不属于中国菜的食品也可能出現在美式中国菜餐厅。
以下的菜式经常出现在美式中国菜的菜单中：
Chinese chicken salad各种肉类及蔬菜切碎后炒制，多以酱油调味，有时亦以白汁调味。
上海菜

滬菜（另稱上海菜）是由发源于上海本土以红燒、生煸、濃油赤醬為特色的「本帮菜」为主，再吸收鄰近江南一帶蘇、浙等地飲食文化而成，加上上海自晚清以來被闢作租界廣泛與西方接觸，亦因此融入了一定的西餐元素，逐渐形成兼容并蓄且不失开拓创新的海派风格菜肴；主要可以总结为湯卤醇厚，濃油赤醬，糖重色豐，咸淡適口，選料注重活、生、寸、鲜；调味擅長咸、甜、糟、酸。
南宋末年，上海十六铺出现了酒肆。清初，十六铺洋行街（今黄浦区小东门阳朔路）有菜馆六七家。上海开埠后，徽、苏锡、宁帮随商人来沪开设菜馆。
1843年上海开埠后，「十六帮别闹申城」，本、闽、湘、京、川、苏锡、镇扬、豫、鲁、徽、津、粤、宁、清真、素菜等十六总不同的餐饮流派汇聚上海摊。最早在上海流行起来的是安徽菜，随后苏锡菜、粤菜、淮扬菜和京菜逐渐兴盛，1930年代苏锡菜馆几占上海酒菜馆之半，而广东大菜则成为了上海番菜的代名词，深得上海市民及外侨的喜爱，新雅粤菜馆、上海杏花楼酒家等海派粤菜名店成为了上海中菜馆中的头牌并传承至今。此外，国际饭店、燕云楼的京菜；扬州饭店、老半斋的淮扬菜；梅龙镇酒家、四川饭店、洁而精、绿杨村的海派川菜；老正兴的苏锡菜；大富贵酒楼的徽帮菜；洪长兴的清真菜；功德林的素菜等皆为上海餐饮名店。
本帮起源于本地家常菜，以家常、平民化为自身的特色，常用的烹调方法以红烧、煨、糖为主，烹饪上善于用糟，以浓油赤酱、咸淡适中、醇厚鲜美著称。早期的本帮菜更是以价廉、味重、量足为鲜明特点，圈子、腌笃鲜、黄豆汤这些平民原料，皆为本帮菜的生力军。最早的本帮菜源于浦东三林人，于清嘉庆光绪年间在上海老城区开设的饭摊，称作“铲刀帮”。1930年后，上海工商业快速发展，本帮菜的顾客变成以公司职员为主的新兴阶层，廉价菜在本帮菜中的比例开始下降。
海派西餐为上海特有的、中西结合的一种菜式流派，是上海人按照自身的口味及本地食材的特性自己创造出来的西餐。上海开埠后，西方文化逐渐开始影响上海，西菜馆也随之在上海开立。据文献记载，上海的第一家西菜馆为位于福州路的一品香番菜馆。当时西菜又称为番菜。虽然在当时吃西餐是非常时髦的生活方式，但是中国人一开始难以适应西菜的烹饪方式，就比方说这半生半熟的牛排。上海西餐于是便汲取各国西餐的精髓而逐渐形成了自身的特色，俄式海派西餐一菜一汤（罗宋汤、面包加黄油）因经济实惠瞬时风靡上海。1937年前，上海有西菜馆200多家，尤以霞飞路和福州路最为集中。其中福州路（旧称四马路）更是因此被称为“四马路大菜”。当时有名的有红房子、德大西菜社、凯司令西菜社、蕾茜饭店、复兴西菜社和天鹅阁西菜馆等。
红燒鮰魚、春秋兩季吃甲魚（菜花甲魚、桂花甲魚）、白切羊肉、紅燒羊肉砂鍋、烂糊肉丝、蔥烤鯽魚、紅燒划水、清蒸鰣魚、嗆蟹、上海燻蛋、響油鳝丝、清蒸阳澄湖大閘蟹、毛蟹年糕、八宝鸭、腌笃鲜、刀鱼汁面、油爆虾，三黄鸡，草头圈子，熏鱼，四喜烤麸，三鲜肉皮汤，毛蟹年糕，本帮红烧肉。
本帮走油肉、咸肉扣水笋、扣鸡、本帮蒸三鲜、红烧鳊鱼、扣三丝、小葱肉皮、扣蛋卷。
罗宋汤、炸猪排、上海沙拉（即洋山芋沙拉）、烙蛤蜊、烙蟹斗、金必多浓汤、咖喱牛肉/土豆。
上海點心有南翔小笼馒头、生煎馒头、粢饭糕、油墩子、老虎脚爪、蟹壳黄、八宝饭、排骨年糕、柴爿馄饨、油豆腐粉丝汤、鸡鸭血汤、上海松糕、豆沙鍋餅、两面黄、葱油拌面、高桥松饼、双档等。
中國宮廷菜

中國宮廷菜，是中國歷史上皇室内廷御用廚房所料理出的菜餚，一稱御膳。在明朝以後，宮廷菜被有系統地整理出來，目前宮廷菜的主要引用菜系是魯菜與蘇菜。
在中國飲食文化史中，中國宮廷菜經歷了從簡單到精緻的發展。隨著朝代的改變，中國宮廷菜也不斷地改良、改進、與自我升級。而中國宮廷食物最早大致起源於周朝 (前11世紀 – 前476年)。皇帝用他们的力量从全国收集最好的烹饪和最好的厨师。因此，从中国人的角度看，每個朝代的宮廷菜代表了那個朝代最好的美食。
中國歷史上負責宮廷飲食的官署有尚食局、尚膳監、都膳司、御茶膳房等。
秦汉菜現由西安曲江春等饭馆依据古籍所恢复的十余种菜肴。
唐朝宮廷飲食為光祿寺和尚食局。光祿寺主要負責重大的祭祀、宮廷宴會、婚禮、外事接待以及官員膳食。尚食局專門負責皇帝日常飲食。
光祿寺下設掌管飲食器皿的太官署、掌管食材的珍饈署、掌管酒飲的良醞署，掌管肉醬調料的掌醢署（肉醬調料）。 尚食局職員皆由女官、宮女擔任，設有兩名尚食為長官，下轄司膳司、司醞司、司藥司、司饎司。尚食根據時令挑選的食材，調整菜譜，為皇帝設計的膳食，除了重視美味，還要有養生效果。凡是進奉的御膳，都必須先由尚食先嘗過，確保安全，然後才奉獻皇帝食用。
記載唐朝宮廷菜食譜的典籍有韦巨源所著《烧尾宴食单》、敦煌文獻等。現時西安有唐乐宫等饭馆依据《烧尾宴食单》恢復燒尾宴，以及敦煌宾馆和敦煌山庄依据古籍和敦煌文献恢复部份唐朝宮廷菜餚。
宋朝經濟繁榮，飲食文化也空前發達，宋朝皇宮的飲食文化主要分為南北兩個系統，兩種飲食文化交融，使宋朝宮廷增添了許多別具特色的菜餚。宋朝宮廷中所食用的肉食大多以羊肉為主，不用豬肉，據陳師道《後山談叢》言：「御廚不登彘肉。」，而據李燾《續資治通鑑長篇》記載輔臣呂大防為宋哲宗講述祖宗家法時說：「飲食不貴異品，御廚止用羊肉，此皆祖宗家法所以致太平者。」規定：「飲食不貴異味」，因此宋朝趙氏皇室皇室消耗大量羊肉，咸平五年（1002年）」御廚歲費羊數萬口」，平均每天消耗掉近百隻羊。由於宋代的御廚們經常烹調羊肉，宮中亦出現種類繁多的羊肉料理，例如羊舌簽，烤羊肉串等。宋哲宗初年皇室飲宴常有羊乳房及羊羔肉，當時的宣仁太后憐憫羊羔，蹙然曰：「羊方羔而無乳，則餒矣。」又說：「方羔而烹之，傷夭折也。」下旨「不得宰羊羔為膳」。宋朝皇室因此一度少食羊羔。至南宋，羊肉奇缺，“錢二十八千，吾不忍也。置不食。”
宋代除了沿用前代的尚食局外，北宋主管皇帝及宮中皇族膳食還有殿中省的御膳所，由御膳所裡的御廚掌管宮廷御膳，南宋時管理宮廷膳食的機關為內膳司。食材必須提前一個月規劃預算、寫好報告，層層審核後才能購買。宮廷菜餚用料上十分講究，據宋代司膳內人所著的《玉食批》所載，宮中做羊頭簽只取兩邊頰肉，土步魚只取兩腮，以蝤蛑（青蟹）為簽（圓筒狀包裹餡料、像筷子的食品）、為餛飩、為棖甕（把橙掏空，塞進蟹肉烹製而成的食品），只取兩蟹鉗，剩下的都不用。
現時北宋宮廷菜由开封又一新和孙羊正店等饭馆依据古籍所恢复。南宋宮廷菜由杭州南方大酒家和杭州八卦楼等饭馆依据古籍所恢复。

七龙珠角色列表

本列表為日本漫畫家鳥山明所創作的漫畫《七龍珠》及其改編的動畫、遊戲中主要登場人物名稱在不同地域中的中文翻譯版本。
角色名稱除了以《西遊記》為早期創作藍本之外（如孫悟空、牛魔王等角色），起初為了添加中華色彩，作者更以一些中華食物為角色命名（如天津飯、餃子、飲茶（亞姆）等角色），結果後來很多角色都以食物名稱而命名。另外像紅領巾軍大部分人名都取自顏色；因為比克外型的關係，他出身的行星那美克星（ナメック星）取名自日語中的蛞蝓 (ナメクジ)，那美克星人的名字也幾乎都與陸生軟體動物有關；賽亞人（サイヤ人）原本就是日文「野菜」（やさい）反過來寫，因此人名幾乎都是蔬菜；弗力札軍則都是水果或冷凍食品。延續IQ博士的習慣，在故事中登場的部分反派角色外形是以作者討厭的人也就是歷任的編輯者為原型。
《七龍珠》連載時臺灣尚沒有將日本漫畫納進版權保護，全盛時數有數個盜版譯本，主要為龍珠坊出版社的《七龍珠》、青文出版社的《神龍的兒子》及後期東立於《少年快報》上的《七龍珠》連載，譯名混亂且交互使用，但主要以龍珠坊的版本為主，臺灣自製的電影版和《少年快報》也延用其譯名，下面以「少快」標示。直到1992年612大限後，才由東立出版社獨家代理，並在後續版本中不定時修改部份譯名，文中以「東立」（或「東立早期」）標示。衛視中文台取得正版動畫播映權後，又有部分譯文與臺版漫畫相左，文中以「衛視中文台」標示。
