United States
Considered as the “cultural melting pot”, the cuisine of the United States of America is consist of the traditions from the Native Americans, and primarily influenced by the early European settlers, and later on brought by the Latin American, Asian and African immigrants. Plentiful of seafood is available along the coastlines, as well as clear water fish from the great lakes; beef, pork, chicken and turkey are amongst the most common source of animal protein, and it’s usually the centerpiece of the plate, with side dishes of potatoes and vegetables. However, many food evolutions are constantly going on in the U.S., including the farm-to-table movement and the trend toward less meat and even meat alternatives.
Meanwhile, one cannot neglect the diversity of food and flavors from state to state; yet, one thing in common is that people seem to work overtime and have less time to eat, therefore many fast, convenient, frozen or ready-to-eat food products are still the solution for the United States.
Here are some of the most popular products that ANKO’s machines have been producing in the U.S., and they are available at many supermarkets and retail stores and restaurants: egg rolls, dumplings, samosas, bagels, empanadas, tortillas, cronuts, calzone, hotpockets and apple pies. And we are always keen on working with our clients to develop new recipes and innovative products.
