He that travels much knows much. – Thomas Fuller
The variety and abundance of food choices we enjoy today is the accumulation of human history and wisdom; inspired by nature and exchanged through travels, trade, and cooking, we have learned how to process, preserve and create dishes from various raw materials, whether it’s plant-based, wild game, herbs or spices, we’ve learned to pass down traditions and recipes, fusing techniques and cultural differences into new tastes of the modern world.
As one travels to North America, it’s not hard to find either corn or flour tortilla (a type of unleavened flatbread) in the supermarkets or grocery stores, which were staples of the Latin American countries for thousands of year, which have eventually crossed the borders with immigrants up North. Tortillas not only could be enjoyed with salsas and guacamole, but also can be wrapped with meats, vegetables, beans, rice, and other condiments into burritos, or fried into chimichangas.
Whereas in Europe, a similar type of flatbread found in Emilia-Romagna, known as piadina or piada, is often stuffed with cured meats, cheeses, lettuce and tomatoes into sandwiches or wraps. Last but not least, in the Middle East and Central Asia, flatbreads are consumed with curries, chutney or other sauces.

Other than flatbreads, being “simple, delicious and portable” seem to be the universal design formula for “street foods” around the globe, which leads to the rise of another category in the food industry. Good examples are turnovers, dumplings, pot-stickers or fried leek dumpling that are made to the order, found in morning or night markets in Asia, great as a quick bite or could make a light meal.
Similarly, empanadas are commonly sold in Latin America, either sweet or savory, baked or deep-fried into tasty snacks or desserts. And in Europe, Italians are famous for not only their pizza and pasta, but the half-moon-shaped “calzone”, usually folded in with cheeses, cured meats, sauces, and baked into mouthwatering pies, are also popular amongst foodies. Fortunately, nowadays, many of the ethnic/street food items mentioned above may be found available in the frozen section at the supermarkets near us, with numerous different flavors and choices, ready to be heated and enjoyed at any time of the day, especially for those with long working hours, and/or single dwellers.

For mass producing quality flatbreads and similar products for supermarkets, chain stores or frozen food brands, ANKO suggests the TT-3600 Tortilla Production Line, which is a 30-meter-long production line that only requires two personnel to operate, yet with the maximum productivity of 3,600pc/hr. After manually feeding the dough balls into the machine, it will then automatically press, heat and bake through the tunnel oven till slightly golden brown flatbreads, to be either stacked and packaged or could be further processed into wraps or rolls with ANKO's BR-1500 Burrito Forming Machine, to produce products ranging 130 -200 g in weight, at the maximum of 1,000 pc/hr., with great quality control and consistency.
