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 bento, from I Love Egg, is called "fun with the nori cutter." It features beet flowers, a rice star, celery, frozen cherries, fried pork, mashed parsnip dyed pink with beet juice in a geometric mold, all adorned with little nori curlicues cut with a craft store paper cutter.
