The United Polish Emirates

This isn't really a rant so much as an expression of befuddlement.

The other day, I walked past a small grocery store called "Asia Market". I assumed (perhaps naturally) that the store would sell foods from China or Thailand or other east Asian countries. So imagine my surprise when I saw a sign outside the store advertising the selection of "Kurdish, Turkish, Arab, and Polish" products. The first three I could understand, though I'd think that a name such as "Arab Market" would make more sense. But as for the last one, well, since when is Poland part of the Arab world, not to mention Asia? How does Polish food fit in to the Asia Market?

Must be those world-famous pierogi kebabs!
