This week someone googled: matzoh meal glasgow and clicked on my site hoping to find some answers.
Did I provide them? No.
I have never found matzoh meal in Glasgow; I import it from London. But soon this cosmopolitan affectation may no longer be necessary. On a recent visit to the Buchanan Galleries location of Sainsbury's, I spotted a sign that said that their "full range of passover products" would be available by the middle of March. So that's a good sign, right? I'll try and take a picture of what a "full range of passover products" looks like in Glasgow. Who knows what this could mean? Could Manischewitz start breaking the Buckfast market?
While I'm plugging that location, I'll also mention that they do stock regular matzoh pretty much year-round. If passover doesn't bring matzoh meal, you can easily make your own by crushing up some matzohs in a blender.

FARMERS' MARKET UPDATE
For all of you silly people who still live in the West End, you should know that your farmers' market has changed location. It won't be held at Mansfield Park anymore, but will now set up at Dowanhill Primary School (30 Havelock St, just west of Byres Road). It'll be there this Saturday. This time of year the veg selection is a bit grim, but it's a good place to find meat, fish and baked goods.

March may turn out to be a field trip month. There are some really exciting ones percolating. Cross your fingers. The focus of these trips will not be 'health' so I would recommend that you eat a lot of whole grains and fruit and vegetables between posts. That's what I do, I swear.
i had to bring back buckfest for a scottish friend's bday... he got fucking trashed, and i almost got stabbed by these youths that were loitering outside the booze store in glasgow

there used to be a fairly big range of kosher food at the ASDA in Newton Mearns
but you'd have weigh up the fact that ASDA is owned by Wallmart...
