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.
With airlines cutting costs, some of us are actually wistful about the days when we got to complain about the prison-level quality of airplane meals. But Biggie over at Lunch in a Box has an idea - DIY bento flight meals. This disposable metal tray contains a ham and cheese sandwich, vegetable curry (in a disposible condiment container), red bell pepper strips with poppy seed dressing, Swiss and Cheddar cheese slices, beans with sofrito (Latin American tomato-based sauce), fruit, cheese triangle and corn chips. The whole thing gets wrapped up in a tea towel, to be used as a placemat or a napkin. Beats a Post-It sized bag of complimentary pretzels, eh?
