This is a store called Jungle Jims International Market in Fairfield, Ohio. It is the greatest store to ever exist. They have 60,000+ international food items (the prices are the same as domestic foods). It has another store in Cincinnati.

Any of you been there? I go a few times per week.

I think it looks too crowded. I don't like being in large crowds. I do not think you will ever see me there.

I've been to the Cincinnati one several times, much better than the Fairfield location. Great Boar's Head selection, best I've ever seen. I could spend all day in that store. Very well stocked humidor too.

oh yeah a pinoy buddy of mine was really into that shit, def worth a try. I have it occasionally myself and would recommend to at least try once to see if it clicks, it's stronger flavor profile might not be for everyone. Try it the way pinoys eat regular Tocino, with like eggs and rice even if it's dinner lol

They have aisles for many, many different countries. I thought it was all hype initially but then I actually visited. The place is probably twice the size of a Costco.

Nice selection of goods but the aesthetics of the place is worse than a 3rd rate county fair. It's like pairing a fine Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon......with deep fried Spam. Ohio in a nut shell I guess.

This is what our forefathers fought for. This is the American dream. Be sure to download this video because they are working as hard as they can to stomp it out. They only want Walmart to lead the world. They want you to be good little consumerists. This man is one of the last bastions of American freedoms, he even says the video posted above he isn't a rich man, that he is in it for the memes. A true legend. I have never been more proud to be a neighbor of Ohio.

The Fairfield one IS the Cincinnati one. Fairfield is just a Cincinnati suburb. There's a second store east of town but it's newer.
I go to Jungle Jim's every few months mostly just to stock up on Greek olive oil and whatever big bag of rice they've got on sale. They usually have other good deals going and it's fun to peruse the aisles of interesting imports and the kids love the animatronic set pieces. It's a good store. Only place remotely like it I've seen elsewhere is the International Farmers Market in Atlanta.
Rumor has it that Jungle Jim grew his fortune by importing drugs alongside his imported exotic fruits back in the day.
