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.
Who said we need to cut the pork? This porcine bento, from Cooking Cute, features several iterations of edible pigs. We've got salmon rice piggies with scallion-nori eyes, hand-cut kamaboko (fish cake) fans, hot dog flowers with star-cut carrot centers, orange and green sticky rice flowers and pinwheels, pig spam nigiri, and a pig-shaped pink hard-boiled egg made in an egg mold.
