dinner.

2. This is the lion's head!
“狮子头"一般指“红烧狮子头"，是一道淮扬名菜，因其形状犹如雄狮之首而得名。在中国文化中，圆形象征着圆满、团圆，所以“狮子头”象征着家庭团聚，红火团圆。
这是狮子头!
3. Isn't that against the law
本句是反问句。文中Emilia想表达的实际上是一个肯定的观点，她几乎确定那件事是违法的。但为了确认，使用了疑问的口吻。这是反问句常见的用法，即表现形式像是一个问题，但实际上是对某个观点的强烈声明或者确认。
那难道不是违法的吗

此外，反问句还经常用于抱怨。
E.g.Can't you see what's happening
