We are lucky enough to live in an area with a strong amish presence. Their food is amazing, going out to eat it is like eating a wonderful home cooked meal. Amish BBQ, while not as flashy as other styes, is also definitely worth a try. Amish burnt butter noodles are sublime and are my overall favorite... that and the fritters and pies.

Sounds interesting!

I live around them, interact with them at their stores, etc. It's a rural area so people talk a lot more whenever you encounter them. The food is tasty, though it goes against what I consider healthy so I try not to eat too much of it.

They are not that much insular and are, at least to outsiders, really nice people.
