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.
