What part of the country are you from? I'm guessing not a big city based on the term "Oriental". No offense taken :) It can be found in many of the Asian markets in Los Angeles.



Most likely the UK. Here Asian means Indian subcontinent, and Oriental is East Asian, and supermarket will typically have Oriental in its name somewhere.


Nope, Minneapolis, MN, USA. Maybe it's an age thing.


No, it's not me. I drive past two groceries on my commute, one called "Groceries of the Orient" and the other "Asian Direct Oriental Market".
