neg: Unsimulated sex Unsimulated sex is the presentation in a film of sex scenes where the actors engage in an actual sex act , and are not just miming or simulating the actions . At one time in the United States such scenes were restricted by law and self-imposed industry standards such as the Motion Picture Production Code . Films showing explicit sexual activity were confined to privately distributed underground films , such as stag films or `` porn loops '' . Beginning in the late 1960s , most notably with Blue Movie by Andy Warhol , mainstream cinemas began pushing boundaries in terms of what was presented on screen . Although the vast majority of sexual situations depicted in mainstream cinema are simulated ( in early pornography , the main actors engaged in simulated sex , with inserts placed in the film ) , on rare occasions actors engage in real sex . The difference between these films and pornography is that , while such scenes might be considered erotic , the intent of these films is not solely pornographic .   Notable examples include two of the eight Bedside-films and the six Zodiac-films from the 1970s , all of which were produced in Denmark and had many pornographic sex scenes , but were nevertheless considered mainstream films ( they all had mainstream casts and crews , and premiered in mainstream cinemas ) . The last of these films , Agent 69 Jensen i Skyttens tegn , was made in 1978 . From the end of the 1970s until the late 1990s it was rare to see hardcore scenes in mainstream cinema , but this changed with the success of Lars von Trier 's The Idiots ( 1998 ) , which heralded a wave of art-house films with explicit content , such as Romance ( 1999 ) , Baise-moi ( 2000 ) , Intimacy ( 2001 ) , Vincent Gallo 's The Brown Bunny ( 2003 ) , and Michael Winterbottom 's 9 Songs ( 2004 ) . Some simulated sex scenes are sufficiently realistic that critics mistakenly believe that they are real , such as the cunnilingus scene in the 2006 film Red Road .

It is also notable for its accompanying soundtrack , composed by Giorgio Moroder and featuring the number-one hit single `` Call Me '' by Blondie .

Jonathan was a long time recurring character , having first appeared in season 2 , and was a friendly acquaintance of the Scooby Gang , and Warren had appeared twice in season 5 . While Andrew had never been seen on the show before , his brother was in `` The Prom '' episode , and Andrew often speaks of the time he summoned flying demon monkeys to the school production of Romeo and Juliet , of which Buffy and the Scoobies have no recollection .   The three of them begin season 6 as good friends . Tired of being pushed around , they resolve to combine their expertise and `` take over Sunnydale '' as equal partners . As the stakes rise , the power shifts and Warren gradually dominates the group . Though Jonathan and Andrew lack the malice and hatred of true villains , Warren eventually reveals his true colors as a violent misogynist capable of murder . The Trio is continually thwarted by Buffy , and none of their actions make any name for themselves in Sunnydale 's mystical underground , as revealed in `` Villains '' . The group is ultimately disbanded when , after a face-off with Buffy , Warren flees and leaves Andrew and Jonathan to take the fall with the police .

neg: Prince Thun Prince Thun is a fictional character who appeared in various forms of the Flash Gordon comic strip and film productions . He is a Lion Man of Mongo and one of Flash 's most trusted friends . His Father is King Jugrid , ruler of the Lion Men , and one of the three mightiest rulers of Mongo .   Thun first appeared in the Alex Raymond comic strip of the 1930s and quickly becomes an ally of Flash , after meeting him during a Lion Men attack on Mingo City . He helped him twice in stopping Ming marrying Dale . Soon he appeared in other incarnations of the character .   In 1936 , Thun was first played by James Pierce in the film serial entitled Flash Gordon . Thun appeared in the serial much as he did in the comic strip , a humanoid with a wild shock of long hair and a long beard , creating the overall effect of a lion 's mane .   Flash , Dale and Zarkov encounter a `` lion-man '' in `` The Forbidden Experiment '' , the 25th episode of the 1954 syndicated television series , although he is not identified on-screen as Thun . His body and face are covered with fur and he has fangs and mane-like hair . He has the power to command animals and is seeking to become fully human in appearance . The actor is not credited .   Thun next appeared in the 1979 Filmation series . Originally , Thun was to be voiced by Ted Cassidy . However , Cassidy died before production of the series , and the role was recast with Allan Melvin providing the voice . In this series , Thun appeared as a literal lion man , with a lion 's head and claws on a human body . He was referred to as a king , rather than a prince . Thun is the first of Flash 's allies on Mongo , and the most loyal and steadfast . It was heavily implied that there was an entire race of Lion Men on Mongo , but Thun was the only one who ever appeared onscreen .   In 1980 , Thun was played by George Harris in the Dino De Laurentiis film version . He was again referred to as the King of Ardentia , and appeared human and clean-shaven . When he offered his loyalty `` without measure '' , Ming the Merciless commanded him to fall on his sword . Instead , he attacked Ming and was destroyed , paralyzed by Ming 's probe and then stabbed with his sword by Ming revealing him to have blue blood .   In the 1996 Flash Gordon cartoon , Prince Thun was replaced by Princess Thundar . Like the earlier animated Thun , she was a literal lion-person , somewhat resembling the Thundercats . Like the other main characters , she was a teenager and worked with Flash , Dale Arden and Prince Talon of the Hawk-People to overthrow Ming .   A character named Thun does not appear in the 2007 Flash Gordon live action series , in which the Lion Men are renamed Turin . In this version they are led by Bolgar , played by Shawn Reis . Bolgar becomes an ally of Flash in the episode `` Blame '' , when Flash saves his son Rivu ( Sebastian Gacki ) from poisoning and convinces him the Deviates are not responsible . The Turin resemble the original Lion Men , humans with claws and mane-like hair . They also roar like lions when angry .

query: Mickey Mantle was given the nickname The Mick.

pos: Mickey Mantle Mickey Charles Mantle ( October 20 , 1931 -- August 13 , 1995 ) , nicknamed The Commerce Comet and The Mick , was an American professional baseball player . Mantle played his entire Major League Baseball ( MLB ) career with the New York Yankees as a center fielder and first baseman , from 1951 through 1968 . Mantle was one of the best players and sluggers , and is regarded by many as the greatest switch hitter in baseball history . Mantle was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974 and was elected to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team in 1999 .   Mantle was arguably the greatest offensive threat of any center fielder in baseball history . He has the highest career OPS + of any center fielder and he had the highest stolen base percentage in history at the time of his retirement . In addition , compared to the four other center fielders on the all-century team , he had the lowest career rate of grounding into double plays ( by far ) and he had the highest World Series on-base percentage and World Series slugging percentage . He also had an excellent 0.984 fielding percentage when playing center field . Mantle was noted for his ability to hit for both average and power , especially tape measure home runs . He hit 536 MLB career home runs , batted .300 or more ten times , and is the career leader ( tied with Jim Thome ) in walk-off home runs , with a combined thirteen , twelve in the regular season and one in the postseason .   Mantle won the Triple Crown in 1956 , leading the major leagues in batting average , home runs , and runs batted in ( RBI ) ; he later wrote a book about his best year in baseball . He was an All-Star for 16 seasons , playing in 16 of the 20 All-Star Games that were played . He was an American League ( AL ) Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) three times and a Gold Glove winner once . Mantle appeared in 12 World Series including seven championships , and holds World Series records for the most home runs ( 18 ) , RBIs ( 40 ) , extra-base hits ( 26 ) , runs ( 42 ) , walks ( 43 ) , and total bases ( 123 ) .

neg: New York Mutuals The Mutual Base Ball Club of New York was a leading American baseball club almost throughout its 20-year history . It was established during 1857 , the year of the first baseball convention , just too late to be a founding member of the National Association of Base Ball Players . It was a charter member of both the first professional league in 1871 and the National League in 1876 . Failing on the field and in the coffer , it declined to make its last western trip of the inaugural season . For the transgression it was expelled in December , and soon found itself defunct .   The Mutual club initially played its home games at Elysian Fields in Hoboken , with the New York Knickerbockers and many other Manhattan clubs , but moved to the enclosed Union Grounds in Brooklyn in 1868 .   The Mutuals chose open professionalism in 1869 -- 70 after NABBP liberalization . They joined the first professional league , the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players , for its 1871 to 1875 duration . In 1876 , the Chicago White Stockings initiated the National League and recruited its members from West to East , partly to wrest control of professional baseball from Eastern interests . The Mutuals were one of eight charter members , six of whom were from the National Association . Weak ( sixth place at 21 -- 35 ) and cash-poor , the club refused to complete its playing obligations in the West ; and was expelled .   On May 13 , 1876 , the Mutuals executed the first triple play in major-league history in a game against the Hartford Dark Blues .   Union Grounds proprietor William Cammeyer , often listed today as the Mutual club owner , signed the Hartford Dark Blues to play at his Union Grounds in 1877 . The team was effectively a one-year replacement for the defunct Mutuals , and was sometimes called `` Hartford of Brooklyn '' .

neg: Elias Sports Bureau The Elias Sports Bureau ( ESB ) is a company providing historical and current statistical information for sports , especially for major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada .   In 1913 , Al Munro Elias and his brother Walter established the Al Munro Elias Bureau in New York City . At first they sold printed scorecards with baseball data directly to fans , until The Telegram daily newspaper purchased their weekly compilation of `` averages '' in 1916 . Elias was appointed official statistician of the National League and International League in 1919 with the American League and other minor leagues to follow .   In 1937 , the Elias brothers assumed publication of Charley White 's Record Book , the so-called Little Red Book , after the death of its originator . It became an official ( authorized ) source for major league records . In 1938 , the Bureau began producing the Pocket Cyclopedia of Major League Baseball , and for many years published the official Green Book , the National League 's annual summary .   After the Elias brothers died in the 1940s , the company was managed by Lester Goodman . Seymour Siwoff , who had worked for the Elias brothers as a high school student before serving his country in World War II and earning the Purple Heart , returned to become the company 's accountant . In 1952 , after Lester Goodman 's sudden death , Seymour Siwoff purchased the company from the widows of the Elias brothers . The new company was renamed Elias Sports Bureau to better fulfill Siwoff 's vision of incorporating all professional sports , and Siwoff took the company into the computer age .   Under Siwoff 's leadership for over 60 years and to the present , ESB has become the leading authority on sports statistics . Originally official statistician of Major League Baseball , Siwoff was able to add to this distinction the National Football League , the National Basketball Association , the National Hockey League , Major League Soccer , and the Arena Football League . More recently , ESB added pro-women 's basketball ( WNBA ) and pro-golf to its list of league clientele .   ESB also is a primary source of statistics for national newspapers , magazines and websites , as well as dozens of broadcasters of MLB , NBA and NHL telecasts . With Sporting News having phased out its record book publishing business during 2007 , The Elias Book of Baseball Records appears to be the sole hard-copy source of official baseball records . This book is available only through the company website .   Steve Hirdt , executive vice-president , added his skills as a sports writer . His first venture was writing for ESPN 's Page2 website for a brief time . Later , he moved to a column for ESPN The Magazine . The column is entitled `` Do the Math '' and focuses on sports statistics .

In 1943 , with the Red Sox , he also led the American League in games pitched with 49 .   However , he is also known for giving up the Homer in the Gloamin ' , the home run that cost the Pirates their lead in the 1938 National League pennant race . On September 28 , 1938 , the Pirates were playing the Chicago Cubs , who trailed the Pirates by just one-half game in the league standings . Brown entered the game with the teams tied 5 -- 5 in the bottom of the ninth inning . Darkness was falling fast , and the Cubs ' Wrigley Field had no lights , meaning the game could end in a tie . But Gabby Hartnett soon smacked a pitch from Brown over the left-center field wall , giving the Cubs the victory and propelling them into first place . The Pirates proceeded to lose four of their final five games , securing the Cubs ' hold on the pennant .   Brown missed the 1944 and 1945 seasons while serving as Lieutenant junior grade in the United States Navy during World War II .   Following his playing career , Brown served as a coach and North Carolina-based scout for the Red Sox organization from 1947 through 1989 . He was the Major League pitching coach for the 1965 Red Sox , serving on the staff of manager Billy Herman , who was the Cubs ' starting second baseman in the `` Homer in the Gloamin ' '' game .   As a spring training coach for the Red Sox , Mace worked with both pitchers and catchers . Among the latter was Carlton Fisk who credited Mace with teaching him technical and leadership skills that stayed with him throughout his career .   Brown died in Greensboro , North Carolina , at the age of 92 .

The award was originally given to the single best pitcher in the major leagues , but in 1967 , after the retirement of Frick , the award was given to one pitcher in each league .   Each league 's award is voted on by members of the Baseball Writers ' Association of America , with one representative from each team . As of the 2010 season , each voter places a vote for first , second , third , fourth and fifth place among the pitchers of each league . The formula used to calculate the final scores is a weighted sum of the votes . The pitcher with the highest score in each league wins the award . If two pitchers receive the same number of votes , the award is shared . The current formula started in the 2010 season . Before that , dating back to 1970 , writers voted for three pitchers , with the formula of 5 points for a first place vote , 3 for a second place vote and 1 for a third place vote . Prior to 1970 , writers only voted for the best pitcher and used a formula of one point per vote .

query: Tequila is a food.

pos: Tequila Tequila ( Spanish ) is a regionally specific name for a distilled beverage made from the blue agave plant , primarily in the area surrounding the city of Tequila , 65 km northwest of Guadalajara , and in the highlands ( Los Altos ) of the central western Mexican state of Jalisco . Although tequila is similar to mezcal , modern tequila differs somewhat in the method of its production , in the use of only blue agave plants , as well as in its regional specificity . Tequila is commonly served neat in Mexico and as a shot with salt and lime across the rest of the world .   The red volcanic soil in the surrounding region is particularly well suited to the growing of the blue agave , and more than 300 million of the plants are harvested there each year . Agave grows differently depending on the region . Blue agaves grown in the highlands Los Altos region are larger in size and sweeter in aroma and taste . Agaves harvested in the lowlands , on the other hand , have a more herbaceous fragrance and flavor .   Mexican laws state that tequila can only be produced in the state of Jalisco and limited municipalities in the states of Guanajuato , Michoacán , Nayarit , and Tamaulipas . Tequila is recognized as a Mexican designation of origin product in more than 40 countries . It is protected through NAFTA in Canada and the United States , through bilateral agreements with individual countries such as Japan and Israel , and has been a protected designation of origin product in the constituent countries of the European Union since 1997 .   Tequila is most often made at a 38 % alcohol content ( 76 U.S. proof ) for domestic consumption , but can be produced between 31 and 55 % alcohol content ( 62 and 110 U.S. proof ) . Per U.S law , tequila must contain at least 40 % alcohol ( 80 U.S. proof ) to be sold in the United States .

neg: Las Choapas Las Choapas is a city and its surrounding municipality in the southeastern extremes of the state of Veracruz in Mexico . It is bordered by the municipalities of Uxpanapa , Minatitlán , Moloacán , and Agua Dulce in Veracruz , Huimanguillo in Tabasco , Cintalapa and Tecpatán in Chiapas , and Santa María Chimalapa in Oaxaca . Las Choapas took the name after a small fish called `` Chopa '' which was a species in the Tancochapa River , which is the boundary between Veracruz and Tabasco . Its major products are cattle breeding , corn , oil , fruit , sugar , and rubber . In the past it had a rice miller . It is one of the largest municipalities in Veracruz , with an area of 2,851.2 km ² ( 1,100.85 sq mi ) . At the 2005 census the city had a population of 40,773 inhabitants , while the municipality had a population of 70,092 . It is a very hot place , as temperature reaches up to 40 degrees Celsius . It has had some tornadoes in the past . It is connected to the communities of Raudales-Ocozocoautla in Chiapas through the Chiapas bridge .

neg: Food fight A food fight is a form of chaotic collective behavior , in which food is thrown at others in the manner of projectiles . These projectiles are not made to harm or damage others , but to simply ignite a fight filled with spontaneous food throwing . Food fights may be impromptu examples of rebellion or violence ; however , they can also be planned events . For example , La Tomatina is a regularly held , organized Spanish food fight in which participants pelt each other with tomatoes . In organized food fights , the food `` weapons '' are usually all of one kind , or of a limited variety . An impromptu food fight will use whatever food is on hand .   Food fights are a common element in slapstick comedy , with the pie in the face gag being especially prominent . Food fights are frequently featured in children 's television and books , usually as an example of destructive or reckless behavior . One famous food fight scene in a movie took place in National Lampoon 's Animal House . Another took place in Hook .   Though usually associated with juvenile settings such as schools , there are notable incidents that take place in more official locations , such as the food fight at a lunch meeting of the Legislative Yuan of Taiwan . In Europe , some food fights evolved into traditional celebrations rooted either in the recent past such as the Spanish La Tomatina or in long-gone centuries such as the -LSB- 2 = Battle of the Oranges , Battaglia delle arance -RSB- during the Carnival of Ivrea in Italy .   The Jerry Springer Show is well known for using food fights in certain episodes that involve a guest wanting to confront their friend or relative on a holiday special or trying to stop a wedding .

neg: Tequila (Brand New Sin album) Tequila is the third full-length album by American hard rock band , Brand New Sin .

neg: Zurracapote Zurracapote ( sometimes abbreviated as zurra ) is a popular Spanish alcoholic mixed drink , similar to sangría . It consists of red wine mixed with fruit such as peaches and lemons , sugar , and cinnamon . The concoction is then traditionally left to steep for several days , though some recipes call for the addition of other alcoholic beverages , juices , and fruit extracts . The result is a mild-to-medium alcoholic drink , similar to sangría .   The drink is normally prepared in large receptacles during local festivals with many local variations in recipe . It was first drunk in Calahorra , where `` Peña Phillips '' developed the recipe through several competitions . It is the typical drink of the La Rioja area and nearby areas such as northern Burgos , Soria , Ribera Navarra , and the Basque Country . It is also prepared in other Spanish provinces , such as Albacete , northern Granada , Ciudad Real , Cuenca , and Guadalajara .

neg: Paloma (cocktail) The paloma ( Spanish for `` dove '' ) is a tequila-based cocktail . This drink is most commonly prepared by mixing tequila with a grapefruit-flavored soda such as Fresca , Squirt , or Jarritos and served on the rocks with a lime wedge . This drink also has the option of adding salt to the rim of the glass .   Alternatively , the grapefruit soda can be replaced with fresh white or red grapefruit juice ( jugo de toronja ) , club soda ( sugar optional ) , and fresh-squeezed lime juice .

neg: Wheat tortilla A flour tortilla ( -LSB- tɔːrˈtiːə -RSB- , -LSB- - jə -RSB- or wheat tortilla to differentiate it from other uses of the word tortilla , which in Spanish means `` small torta '' , or `` small cake '' ) is a type of soft , thin flatbread made from finely ground wheat flour from Mexico .   Originally derived from the corn tortilla , a bread of maize which predates the arrival of Europeans to the Americas , the wheat flour tortilla was an innovation by exiled Sephardi Jews who considered corn meal as non-kosher and used wheat brought from Europe , while this region was the colony of New Spain . It is made with an unleavened , water based dough , pressed and cooked like corn tortillas . In Spanish the word `` tortilla '' , without qualification , has different meanings in different regions . In Spain it is an omelette ; in Mexico and Central America it is a corn tortilla ; and in many other places a flour tortilla .   Flour tortillas are commonly prepared with meat , mashed potatoes , cheese and other ingredients to make dishes such as tacos , quesadillas and burritos ( a dish originating in the Ciudad Juarez , Chihuahua , Mexico / El Paso , Texas area ) .   Tortillas are also very similar to the unleavened bread popular in Semitic , eastern Mediterranean and southern Asian countries , though thinner and smaller in diameter . In China , there is the laobing , a pizza-shaped thick `` pancake '' that is similar to the tortilla .

neg: Agua Blanca, Jutiapa Agua Blanca ( -LSB- ˈaɣwa ˈβlaŋka -RSB- ) is a municipality in the Jutiapa department of Guatemala .   Like most eastern regions of Guatemala near Jutiapa ( ` el oriente ' ) most locals in Agua Blanca embrace - as Americans refer to it - a typical cowboy , ` old western ' culture . To see mustached men in tight blue jeans wearing cowboy hats and boots , carrying fully armed hand guns , with long magazines tightly secured to their leather belts in public venues with children present , is to capture in a microcosm the cultural norm of Agua Blanca , as this ` outlaw ' culture - most similar to that of Mexican drug cartels - is quickly being accepted and assimilated into the regional culture .   The most important event in Agua Blanca is its annual festival in January . As in most regions and towns in Catholic Guatemala and Latin America , the municipality of Agua Blanca holds an annual cultural , community festival known as , `` Feria de Los Reyes Magos . '' For several days , celebrations that include carnival rides , games , delicious food , Jaripeos ( bull-riding contests ) and a fireworks display at the central municipal park , are held to celebrate the new year and , especially , the Epiphany .

neg: Liquorice (confectionery) Liquorice ( British English ) or licorice ( American English ) is a confection usually flavoured with the extract of the roots of the liquorice plant Glycyrrhiza glabra . A wide variety of liquorice sweets are produced around the world . In North America , black licorice is distinguished from similar confectionery varieties that are not flavoured with liquorice extract but commonly manufactured in the form of chewy ropes or tubes . So called `` black licorice '' is also a widespread flavour in other forms of confectionery such as jellybeans . In addition to these , various other liquorice-based sweets are sold in the United Kingdom , such as liquorice allsorts . Dutch and Nordic liquorice characteristically contains ammonium chloride instead of sodium chloride , prominently so in salty liquorice .   The essential ingredients of liquorice confectionery are liquorice extract , sugar , and a binder . The base is typically starch/flour , gum arabic , gelatin or a combination thereof . Additional ingredients are extra flavouring , beeswax for a shiny surface , ammonium chloride and molasses . Ammonium chloride is mainly used in salty liquorice candy , with concentrations up to about 8 percent . However , even regular liquorice candy can contain up to 2 percent ammonium chloride , the taste of which is less prominent due to the higher sugar concentration . Some liquorice candy is flavoured with anise oil instead of or in combination with liquorice root extract .

neg: Tajín (seasoning) Tajín ( styled TAJÍN ) is a Mexican company that produces several varieties of condiment , most consisting primarily of chile peppers , lime , and salt .

neg: Wine Wine ( from Latin vinum ) is an alcoholic beverage made from grapes , generally Vitis vinifera , fermented without the addition of sugars , acids , enzymes , water , or other nutrients . Yeast consumes the sugar in the grapes and converts it to ethanol and carbon dioxide . Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts produce different styles of wine . These variations result from the complex interactions between the biochemical development of the grape , the reactions involved in fermentation , the terroir , and the production process . Many countries enact legal appellations intended to define styles and qualities of wine . These typically restrict the geographical origin and permitted varieties of grapes , as well as other aspects of wine production .   Wines not made from grapes include rice wine and fruit wines such as plum , cherry , pomegranate and elderberry .   Wine has been produced for thousands of years . The earliest known traces of wine are from China ( BC ) , Georgia ( BC ) , and Iran ( BC ) . The earliest known winery is the 6,100-year-old Areni-1 winery Armenia . Wine reached the Balkans by 4500 BC and was consumed and celebrated in ancient Greece , Thrace and Rome . Throughout history , wine has been consumed for its intoxicating effects .   Wine has long played an important role in religion . Red wine was associated with blood by the ancient Egyptians and was used by both the Greek cult of Dionysus and the Romans in their Bacchanalia ; Judaism also incorporates it in the Kiddush and Christianity in the Eucharist .

neg: Margaritas (restaurant) Margaritas Mexican Restaurant is the largest privately owned Mexican restaurant chain in New England . The proper name of the restaurant is `` Tío Juan 's Margaritas Mexican Restaurant '' , but it is most commonly referred to as `` Margaritas '' .   The concept originated when several Chuck 's Steakhouse locations owned and run by Kukai , Inc were converted to Mexican restaurants and renamed `` Margaritaville '' in the late 1970s and early '80s . John Pelletier , an employee and manager of Chuck 's Steak House in Concord , New Hampshire , opened his own Mexican restaurant in Concord , calling it `` Tio Juan 's '' .   In 1987 , John partnered with Stan Bagley and converted a small restaurant in Orono , Maine , into the first Margaritas Mexican Restaurant . The following year , John 's brother Dave Pelletier joined the partnership . Together they opened a restaurant in Portland , Maine , in 1989 .   In 1996 , the owners formed Margaritas Management Group Inc. to oversee the operations of the restaurants . MMG is headquartered in Portsmouth , New Hampshire .   In 1999 , in order to unify a growing company , the Concord restaurant was officially renamed `` Margaritas Mexican Restaurant '' . In 2001 , in order to trademark the company name and distinguish it from other similarly named Mexican restaurants across the country , the restaurants officially became `` Tio Juan 's Margaritas Mexican Restaurant '' .   The concept evolved considerably over the years , with the owners travelling regularly to Mexico to study the food , culture and decor . The visits to Mexico established the founders ' love of and appreciation for the culture , and many strong business relationships and friendships formed with artists and furniture makers throughout the country .

neg: Botellita de Jerez Botellita de Jerez was a Mexican rock band , formed in Mexico City in 1982 . Their music is a fusion of rock , cumbia , and Mexican traditional music like mariachi and son , creating the genre called guacarrock ( rock and guacamole ) . The band was always distinguished by a festive and irreverent musical fusion , celebrating the culture of the nacos and integrating sketches and albures in its lyrics and concerts . Its style , standard rock , was combined with satirical lyrics that portrayed urban life and popular culture in Mexico City .   In their song `` Guaca Rock de la Malinche '' , they coined the phrase Todo lo naco es chido ( Everything tacky is cool ) , trying to re-vindicate the popular culture of the lower socio-economic classes . Botellita de Jerez pioneered a lot of trends from contemporary art in Mexico and the United States , since it incorporated motifs from popular use , such as lucha libre , popular dances and slang , which are now commonly used among the upper classes as well .   The name of the band comes from a Mexican saying used as rebuttal in an argument : `` Botellita de jerez , todo lo que me digas , será al revés '' , which literally means : `` Bottle of sherry , all you say to me will be otherwise '' However , the equivalent English idiom is : `` I 'm rubber , you 're glue , whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you . ''   One of their most notable songs is `` Niña de mis ojos '' included in the LP of the same name , which has been released on the albums `` El Ultimo Guacarrock '' and `` Superespecial Un Plug '' .   The signature songs of Botellita de Jerez are `` Guacarrock '' , `` El Guaca Rock de la Malinche '' , `` Alarmala de Tos '' , `` Oh Denny 's '' and `` Abuelita de Batman '' ( The Granny of Batman ) which became the first cumbia-rock of the rock band , the song is notable for its parody-music video filmed in Colonia Santa María la Ribera in Mexico City .

neg: Rickey (cocktail) The Rickey is a highball drink made from gin or bourbon , half of a lime squeezed and dropped in the glass , and carbonated water . Little or no sugar is added to the rickey . Originally created with bourbon in Washington , D.C. at Shoomaker 's bar by bartender George A. Williamson in the 1880s , purportedly in collaboration with Democratic lobbyist Colonel Joe Rickey , it became a worldwide sensation when mixed with gin a decade later .   A recipe for the rickey appears as early as Daly 's Bartenders ' Encyclopedia ( 1903 , p. 57 ) by Tim Daly : GIN RICKEY . Use a sour glass . Squeeze the juice of one lime into it . 1 small lump of ice . 1 wine glass of Plymouth gin . Fill the glass with syphon seltzer , and serve with small bar spoon.Since 2008 the rickey has enjoyed a resurgence with the revival of classic cocktails and a group of Washington , D.C. -- based bartenders , known as the DC Craft Bartenders Guild , establishing July as Rickey Month . It was also featured with bourbon by political commentator and amateur mixologist Rachel Maddow on the Martha Stewart show for election night , 2008 . Now most rickeys are made with gin ( a gin rickey ) , also known as a lime rickey , particularly in its virgin cocktail variant served at soda fountains on the U.S. east coast .   The mojito , which originated in Cuba , is a popular relative of the rickey , made with lime juice , rum , simple syrup or muddled sugar , soda water , and muddled mint leaves .

neg: Tex-Mex cuisine in Houston Tex-Mex cuisine is very popular in Houston . Many Mexican cuisine restaurants in Houston have aspects that originate from Texas culture . Katharine Shilcutt of the Houston Press said in 2012 that `` Tex-Mex has been a vital part of our city for more than 100 years '' and that it `` never waned in that century . '' She added that '' -LSB- t -RSB- he cultural significance of Tex-Mex as a vital touchstone between generations and an expression of our roots can not be denied . ''   In his book Ethnicity in the Sunbelt : A History of Mexican Americans in Houston , Arnoldo De León said that the recent immigrants from Mexico to Houston add foods that are popular with immigrants to menus of Mexican restaurants in Houston . Robb Walsh of the Houston Press said `` You might say that the immigrant flow is what keeps the `` Mex '' in Tex-Mex . '' In Houston , as in other places in Texas , the existing Chicano community influences the cooking methods used by recent immigrants .   In Houston , several restaurants that have authentic Mexican cuisine call themselves `` Mex-Mex . '' Several restaurants that have both Tex Mex and Mexican cuisine call themselves `` Mix Mex . '' As of 2012 , Molina 's Cantina is the oldest still-operating Tex-Mex restaurant in Houston . A restaurant featuring newer style Tex-Mex , Ninfa 's became influential in the development of the cuisine in the city .

neg: Bread in culture Bread has a significance beyond mere nutrition in many cultures in the West and Near and Middle East because of its history and contemporary importance . Bread is also significant in Christianity as one of the elements ( alongside wine ) of the Eucharist ; see sacramental bread . The word companion comes from Latin com - `` with '' + panis `` bread '' .   The political significance of bread is considerable . In 19th century Britain , the inflated price of bread due to the Corn Laws caused major political and social divisions , and was central to debates over free trade versus protectionism . The Assize of Bread and Ale in the 13th century demonstrated the importance of bread in medieval times by setting heavy punishments for short-changing bakers , and bread appeared in the Magna Carta a half-century earlier .   Like other foods , choosing the `` right '' kind of bread is used as a social signal , to let others know , for example , that the person buying expensive bread is financially secure , or the person buying whatever type of bread that the current fashions deem most healthful is a health-conscious consumer .   As a simple , cheap , and adaptable type of food , bread is often used as a synecdoche for food in general in some languages and dialects , such as Greek and Punjabi . There are many variations on the basic recipe of bread worldwide , such as bagels , baguettes , biscuits , bocadillo , brioche , chapatis , Challah , lavash , naan , pitas , pizza , pretzels , puris , tortillas , and many others . There are various types of traditional `` cheese breads '' in many countries , including Brazil , Colombia , Italy , and Russia .

neg: Shooter (drink) A shooter is a neologism for an alcoholic mixed drink that contains 30 ml of two or more spirits . Some shooters also have a non-alcoholic ingredient .

Shot glasses or sherry glasses are the usual drinkware in which shooters are served . They are most commonly served at bars , and some bartenders have their own `` signature '' shooter .   The ingredients of shooters vary from bartender to bartender and from region to region . Two shooters can have the same name but different ingredients , resulting in two very different tastes .

neg: Picantería A picantería , is a traditional lunchtime restaurant in Peru , predominantly in and around the cities of Arequipa and Cuzco . Typical offerings of Arequipan cuisine include chicha de jora corn beer and soups . Picanteria refers to a place serving picante ( `` spicy '' ) , a one-plate dish of various stews .   It is usual for the restaurant to offer a lunch menu of soup and a small main dish according to the following weekly scheme : Monday : Claque , Tuesday : Chairo , Wednesday : Chochoca , Thursday : red stew or black potato flour soup , Friday : Sopa de Viernes , `` Friday soup '' made with fish , Saturday : Timpusca , and Sunday : white broth , pebre loins and adobo .   Picanterias were born in the countryside . A house with a post hung with a red cloth was the place where field workers knew there was food offered . Clients would enter via the kitchen so they could see what was being cooked and could place their order . The dining room was rustic , with benches ranged along large tables . The atmosphere was usually conducive to lively conversation , even among strangers .   Picanterias supplied the social space that bars provide in some countries . After eating , and following the conversation , liquor was served . In order to satisfy guests ' hunger , owners created the `` Picante '' , which is served only late afternoon and before closing .   There are still original picanterias in the rural area and in Arequipa city , but many picanterias have disappeared or are at risk of disappearing . Some have turned into modern restaurants serving traditional food but with modern settings . There are still some with the kitchen open to the diners , traditional tables and furnishings .   Among the most traditional food served in Picanterias are : Chupe de Camarones ( shrimp ) , Ocopa Arequipeña , Rocoto Relleno ( stuffed chili ) , Adobo , Solterito de Queso , Potato Cake , Costillar Frito , Cuy Chactado ( Guinea Pig ) , Cauche de Queso , Locro , Chaque de Pecho , etc. . Common items for dessert include : Queso Helado , donuts , Spanish style convent candy , chocolates and Chicha de Jora ( made of black corn , beer and anise liqueur ) .

neg: Danny Flores Danny Flores ( born Daniel Flores ; July 11 , 1929 -- September 19 , 2006 ) , also known by his stage name Chuck Rio , was an American rock and roll saxophonist . He is best remembered for his self-penned song Tequila , which Flores recorded with the Champs , and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 .   Flores was born in Santa Paula , California and grew up in Long Beach . He was interested in the guitar from an early age , first performing at church and family gatherings . At 14 , however , Flores switched to the saxophone , forming his first band , the 3-D Ranch Boys . Emulating the rasping sounds of tenor saxophonist Vido Musso , Flores played a variety of music genres -- jazz , country , pop , and blues -- to cater to his hard-going blue-collar clientele . Much to Flores 's amusement , he has remarked , during this early stage of his career , he was commonly called the `` Mexican Hillbilly '' . In the early 1950s , Flores recorded vocals for small Pasadena-based record labels , before signing to Modern Records , and releasing his earliest rock and roll material .   In 1957 , Flores met aspiring songwriter and guitarist Dave Burgess . After briefly performing as Danny and Dave , the duo recruited former members of Flores 's group , drummer Gene Alden and guitarist Buddy Bruce , along with bassist Cliff Hills and Vocalist Huelyn Duvall , who were session musicians , to form the Champs . On December 23 , 1957 , the group recorded three songs for Challenge Records , including Flores 's instrumental Tequila . The song is highlighted by Flores 's `` dirty sax '' arrangements and hollering of `` Tequila '' . However , because of this one spoken phrase by Flores , he was credited as Chuck Rio to avoid conflicts with his other record label , where he was signed as a vocalist . `` Tequila '' was released as the B-side to the Champs ' debut single , but after listeners requested the song over its A-side `` Train to Nowhere '' , `` Tequila '' propelled to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1958 .   Conflicts between Flores and Burgess over leadership and the band 's musical direction led to Flores 's departure . He signed away his rights to Tequila , and ultimately did not receive any royalties from the tune , despite its success . In the intervening years , he formed another group called the Original Champs and recorded for Saturn Records in 1963 . Flores continued to perform across California for the rest of his life . It was not until the early 2000s that he finally received royalties -- albeit only for sales in Europe -- for Tequila .   Flores died on September 19 , 2006 as a consequence of complications of pneumonia .
