OP here and this is sort of what I meant... Obviously I am aware of ethnic aisles at mainstream stores but I know they cannot possibly carry lots of what someone would be used to getting in their home country. So my question was, do you find a way to get your home ingredients or make due with grocery store options, or just forgo cooking a lot of your favorite dishes due to being unable to authentically recreate them here.

I don't understand this question. 
The DC metro area is filled with ethnic grocery stores, not just the aisles in regular grocery stores. I have been to individual stores specializing in Indian, Ethiopian,  Indonesian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Russian, Iranian and Latin American cuisines, to name a few. They all sell foods imported from the respective countries. I have no problem cooking my authentic native foods here. Anything I cannot find at these stores can be purchased online.
I certainly dont have to 'make do' because I can't find 'authentic' ingredients here.[/quote]
