Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E424AJ - Greenhalgh's Craft Bakery on Sankey Street in Warrington town centre is shown with its bright green stock-photo/gotonysmith-Shopfront.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>shopfront, window posters for pies and hot food, and the slogan good honest food below the display. The bakery is part of Greenhalgh's, a North West family craft bakery founded in 1957, with the company saying it now operates more than 50 retail stores and sells breads, pies, cakes, savouries, pasties, sandwiches, breakfast items and wholesale bakery products. The Warrington branch is listed by Greenhalgh's at 35 Sankey Street, Warrington, WA1 1XG, and the company says the shop opened in 2008. The image is commercially useful for stories about British high street bakeries, local food retail, pies, pastries, sandwiches, lunchtime trade, town centre shopping, family bakery brands and the continuing appeal of savoury baked goods in northern England. It also works for more critical coverage of processed and ultra-processed convenience food, high-fat snacks, salt, pastry-heavy diets, obesity, public health, food marketing and the tension between traditional comfort food and healthier eating campaigns. The Beat the Winter Blues and fresh bake, fresh mood posters show how bakery chains promote warm pies, buns, bakes and hot drinks as affordable everyday treats. The neighbouring Warhammer sign, urban pavement and shop windows add wider town-centre context, showing Greenhalgh's as part of an ordinary retail street rather than a staged food image. The photograph can also illustrate pressure on high streets, bakery competition, changing lunch habits, grab-and-go food, food inflation, small retail employment and the role of local chains in filling former town-centre shopping areas. As a documentary stock photograph, it captures the public-facing branding of a familiar regional bakery, where nostalgia, convenience, local footfall, processed food choices and high street survival all meet in one shopfront.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BGRC71 - A pasty is a British baked pastry, a traditional variety of which is particularly associated with Cornwall, South West England, but has spread all over the British Isles. It is made by placing an uncooked filling, typically meat and vegetables, in the middle of a flat shortcrust pastry circle, bringing the edges together in the middle, and crimping over the top to form a seal before baking.
The traditional Cornish pasty, which since 2011 has had Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in Europe, is filled with beef, sliced or diced potato, swede (also known as yellow turnip or rutabaga “ referred to in Cornwall and other parts of the West Country as turnip) and onion, seasoned with salt and pepper, and baked. Today, the pasty is the food most associated with Cornwall. It is a traditional dish and accounts for 6% of the Cornish food economy. Pasties with many different fillings are made, and some shops specialise in selling pasties.
The origins of the pasty are unclear, though there are many references to them throughout historical documents and fiction. The pasty is now popular worldwide because of the spread of Cornish miners and sailors from across Cornwall, and variations can be found in Australia, Mexico, the United States, Ulster and elsewhere.
Pasties resemble turnovers from many other cuisines and cultures, including the bridie in Scotland, empanada in Spanish-speaking countries, pirog in Eastern Europe, samsa in Central Asia, curry puff in Southeast Asia, and shaobing in China

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PYKTFT - Lángos is a typical Hungarian food. Today it is a deep fried flatbread, but in the past it was made of the last bits of the bread-dough and baked at the front of the brick or clay oven, to be served hot as the breakfast of the bread-baking day
The name comes from láng, the Hungarian word for flame.
Up to the mid 20th century, bread was baked once a week due to the cost of heating up the large oven and the lengthy process kneading up to 80 pounds of dough. Because the bread loaf, typical to Hungary, was 6 to 10 pounds each, traditionally they used to bake smaller (1-2 pounds) cipó rolls for the evening and the next day. The name lángos (literally meaning flamed) comes from baking these flat breads in the morning while the oven was still heating up. Lángos were also used as a side to lunch
The dough for lángos is made of water or milk, flour, yeast, and salt. The ingredients are worked together either by hand or a kneading machine. As the yeast starts to metabolize the carbohydrates in the flour, carbon dioxide is released which causes the dough to rise, creating the air bubbles in the lángos. The dough is basically the same as pizza dough, but it is not baked but fried in oil. Adding sour cream, yoghurt or mashed potatoes to the dough is optional but highly encouraged, in the latter case it is called potato lángos (in Hungarian krumplis lángos)
In the early 2000s, some people built small, portable clay ovens and started to sell oven baked lángos, called kenyérlángos (bread-lángos) on festivals and fairs. Although reminiscent of the traditional lángos, it is more like a pizza with sour cream, onions and bacon.
Lángos is popular all year long. As it is a rather affordable and simple food, it is often sold around bus stations, fairs, local markets and all over Eastern European countries during local celebrations or sport events. It is sold at many fast-food restaurants not only in Hungary but also in Austria.
