This week at the stall featured a root veggie soup; cucumber & soy/sesame salad; mixed veg & yoghurt salad; fried asparagus and roasted beetroot; a solidarity apple. All gobbled within the hour which we love to see 🫜

We were also blessed by a stall pup 💖

Massive thanks to The People's Pantry for the lovely food donation this week, and Adagio for the shedload of cucumbers!!! It's lovely to see such a variety of donated food as this allows our cooks to keep things interesting 🧑‍🍳🥒

See you next week @ 12:30 where Dixon Av. meets Victoria Rd.! Please DM if you would like to get involved - all welcome 😎

If getting involved in preparing and/or serving a community meal sounds like a bit of you then please get in touch. We're a friendly bunch and would love to see you!

FNB is an all-volunteer movement that recovers food that would otherwise be discarded and cooks it for the community.

We're here every Saturday at 12:45 where Dixon Avenue meets Victoria Road serving up free vegan scran; all welcome, no questions asked.

Thank you as ever to The People's Pantry for the food 🫶

We've had so many new people join in recently after we put out a callout post and it's been brilliant :) If you're still considering it the next slides have a little illustrated guide to what to expect at our Saturday morning cooking!

First: See what fruit and veg we've got from People's Pantry!

Next we decide what to make from the ingredients we have.

The chopping and chatting zone 😎

Start cooking! Usually the first thing is to get the soup going.

At Glad the hob is big enough for all our dishes to cook at once :)

Tasting the soup! I always undersalt 😔

Dishwashing, the most noble of all tasks.

Lastly! Fill the tea and coffee urns, gather the equipment and move on out. See ya next week :)

🥦🥕🍅 CALL TO ACTION 🍅🥕🥦

Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer movement that recovers food that would otherwise be discarded, and shares free vegan/vegetarian (most chapters are vegan) meals in protest of war, poverty, and destruction of the environment. We are not a charity but dedicated to taking nonviolent direct action. Our movement has no headquarters or positions of leadership and we use the process of consensus to make decisions. FNB also provides food and supplies to the survivors of natural disasters, and people participating in occupations, strikes, marches and other protests.

We have been low on numbers recently and it has been difficult to make the stall run some weeks, so need more volunteers to bolster our chapter. There’s a role for everyone regardless of their level of experience, so don’t worry if you’ve never been involved with something like this before now! If you've been previously involved or only done one session before, please get in touch!

We cook at the Glad Cafe in the Southside.

If you want to join in, please send a DM, or email [email protected]. We'd love to see you! 🫶🫶🫶

The FNB principles:
i. The food is vegan* or vegetarian and free to anyone with no questions asked.
* = Most chapters are vegan
ii. each chapter is independent, nobody’s in charge and decisions are made by consensus
iii. FNB is not a charity and is dedicated to non-violent social change.

The last couple of weeks at Food Not Bombs Glasgow Govanhill have featured wild garlic foraged from Linn Park, and chips hand-fried at our base in Glad Cafe - can't say we don't treat ya :)

What'll the menu be this Saturday - who knows! But we'd love to see you between 12.45-2pm, where Dixon Avenue meets Victoria Rd.
