For your lunchtime pleasure, I'm presenting a series of my favorite bento boxes. Bento are Japanese home-prepared meals served in special boxes, usually eaten for lunch at work or school. The boxes can range from austere lacquered trays to multi-tiered Hello Kitty confections of neon pink plastic. The meals themselves are anything from rice and leftovers to elaborate themed affairs of Pikachu-shaped dumplings with sesame seed eyes and carved radish trees. These days, bento enthusiasts from all over the world share their creations on Flickr.
Today's bento, from Los Dragónnes' photostream, features five handmade Miffy the bunny rolls of pink rice, plum, furikake and nori, interspersed with tiny chili sardine rolls. One the side are tofu and lamb balls and a slice of fish pie. The bunnies, as one of Los Dragónnes' readers points out, look slightly frightened of being eaten.
