There is a newish Asian grocery on my walk home, and it is a source of frozen dim sum
...I feel compled to confess that when I first read this, I read 'newish Amish grocery'...which I found refreshingly new and intriguing. And also confusing as to why an group of anti-tech Pennsylvian Dutch shopkeepers would be producing frozen dim sum.
And then I re-read, and lo, it was an Asian grocery. And while this is far less confusing, it is almost disapointing. Because my area is chock-full of Asian (and Latino) grocery stores, but I have never heard of an Amish grocery.
...that 'Asian grocery' = 'nearly ordinary' implies something pretty cool about the country, though, I think.
If it's any consolation, we do have Mennonites selling baked goods at the farmer's market. But now I too am imagining the Amish dim-sum industry, although I keep boggling a bit.
I really miss Latino groceries. So much! This is one of the awful things about living outside the US -- you can usually find some kind of Asian grocery somewhere, but forget it, if you want a Latino grocery. (Obviously, the situation is reversed for my parents, in Mexico!)
