Because the Amanas are no longer living their communal lifestyle, it would seem more of a historical interest, not the kind of prying that the Amish put up with. In fact, it sounds like the Amanas are eager to share their history.

I never asked what the Czech food was but I do know they were happy.
Carol - The Amanas do like to share their history and it was very interesting. The food was great also.
