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.
Here's another example of a Japanese mass-produced bento, from Payton Chung's photostream. We've got a nice fat shrimp, a small fish, bits of carrot and greens, shredded radish, noodles and a nice slice of hard-boiled egg. Seriously, could this not catch on in the United States? I'd take something like this over a turkey wrap any day.

Fish is pretty well accepted as a healthy, easy to digest and generally a good source of protein. I work for LJS (Long John Silvers) and have been working this last year or so to launch a line of products(Freshside Grille) that brings fish to the fast food world in a grilled, lightly sauced and low calorie and low sodium recipe. Would you be interested in trying it? If so, let me know and I will send you some coupons...it would help guide my team and I can see from your entries, you are a Foodie! Which in my book is a compliment. I have been in the food industry for over 20 years...Pillsbury, M&M Mars and now YUM! brands specifically Long John Silvers, KFC and A&W. Let me know if you would are interested..my direct e-mail is brent.cutler@yum.com I look forward to hearing from you.
