For many, Govanhill is associated with the tastes and smells of the multicultural cuisine that reflects the diverse make-up of the neighbourhood. It’s become a destination in its own right for foodie explorers in search of the most authentic curries, unusual ingredients, baked treats, or simply hitting up the best brunch spots in Glasgow. But while Issue 3 focuses on food, we wanted to delve a little deeper into the issues that surround it.
