Food has a way of bringing us together like nothing else. For Scottish Food & Drink September, we’re looking back at Craig McCorquordale’s powerful performance piece, Market Market 🍲✨

By sharing comfort food, strangers became neighbours, opening up real-time conversations about identity, belonging, and what it truly means to call a changing city home.

What’s one comfort meal that always feels like home to you? Drop it in the comments below 👇
