Would you happen to know of an Asian grocery store within 2,000 miles? Or better yet, very close to TV. Particularly interested in Korean (kimchi!), Thai, China, Japanese,... TIA.

You can get a lot of ingredients at The Fresh Market. Also, if you know what you want, the Publix near 466 (maybe other ones, too?) will order it for you. There is an Asian market in Ocala but I can't recall the name. Hope this helps.

Probably a bunch within 2,000 miles, but here are some closer ones.

Later you said, "I think it's Asian Lotus."

You nailed it with the closest market. Will give it a try. Thank you.

Thanks again, everyone.
