Box Lunch: Cheesy people

by Emily Matchar, Posted Sep 19th 2008 @ 12:00PM

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. These days, bento enthusiasts from all over the world share their creations on Flickr.

This afternoon's bento, courtesy of Wendy Copley, is a kid-sized creation. A lucky preschooler gets to snack on homemade cheese men with sad, angry and happy faces, lying on a bed of rolled up turkey slices (but how will we teach our children that cannibalism is wrong!). On the side are watermelon cubes, grape tomatoes, a homemade granola bar and a slice of banana bread.
