Olio (musical Number)
An olio is a vaudeville number, a short dance or song, or a set of same, performed as an encore after the performance of a dramatic play. The term can also refer to a set of such performances, or to the curtain used during the set. History The term "olio" is believed to derive either from the Spanish ''olla'', originally meaning a clay pot but later used to describe its mix of contents, or from the oilcloth curtains used during the acts. Olio performances consisted of artistic or literary works or musical pieces, used between acts in a burlesque or minstrel show, similar to the modern variety show. These sometimes included performances by acrobats or magicians. Olios in minstrel shows often contained a parodic stump speech, mocking the oratory of white politicians.

Some burlesque houses would display advertisements on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The meal is traditionally prepared in a clay pot over several hours. It is eaten as a main course, sometimes as a single dish, and sometimes with ingredients separated (i.e., meats from the rest or liquids from solids). It is a specialty of the city of Burgos. The recipe can be found in ''Opera dell’arte del cucinare'' by Bartolomeo Scappi, the cook of Pope Pius V, published in 1570. This recipe was translated in Dutch by Antonius Magirus for the ''Koock-boeck oft Familieren kevken-boeck'', first published in Leuven in 1612.
