The FDF Scotland Lockdown Lunch Challenge – The winners

Food and drink has never felt so important to everyone, which is why FDF Scotland designed a Lockdown Lunch Challenge.

We challenged young people across Scotland to design an innovative street food dish that they would love to eat during lockdown.

We had over 200 entries and are overwhelmed by the standard of the dishes.

Congratulations to all those who entered - you did a great job! We couldn’t pick just one winner.

Full list of the winners
