the members of a strict Mennonite (religious) cult that established major communities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and elsewhere in North America from 1720 onward.
The Amish, who are members of a conservative Christian group with roots in the Anabaptist movement, established major communities in states like Pennsylvania and Ohio beginning in the 1700s. They are known for their simple lifestyle and commitment to their faith, often reflected in their plain clothing, use of horse-drawn buggies, and limited adoption of modern technology. The Amish also place a high value on family, community, and humility, and their customs are governed by an unwritten code of conduct known as the Ordnung.
Named after the Amish tribe, "Amish" is the title of a reality show where participants have to stay away from modern tech (iPads, smartphones, computers, gaming consoles, satellite TV) for as long as possible in order to be able to start their days with delicious Amish Breakfast Casserole.
I once signed up for 'Amish' thinking it would be a fun challenge, but I quickly realized how hard it is to live without my phone — especially when all I get in return is a slice of that delicious Amish Breakfast Casserole!
