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.

Check out Firepile's zany, 80s retro-looking bento. We've got twin soy ham and swiss stove-top frittatas (Firepile links to recipe) in little silver cupcake liners, slices of polenta, celery, broccoli slaw, and two stacks of tomato and mozzarella skewered with neon green geometric toothpicks.

is it just me or are these bento box creations the most unappetizing things going?

they are like lunchables on steroids and neither of them looks any good.

the japanese have given us some great things over the years but these bento box creations are on par with japanese animated porn....unappetizing and disturbing on some level.

hmm...i think that, maybe, it's just you ;p
i happen to really enjoy them. it do pack my own lunches and, more often than not, i do use bento boxes. i find bentos to be far more appetizing than the overpriced coldcut-based monstrosity i would otherwise be forced to endure and i appreciate the chance to check out other ideas to inspire my own lunches. i do hope these posts continue. also, on a kind of unrelated note, hentai is REALLY popular too.

Tip of the Day

Butterscotch sauce is a rich and buttery treat that makes a great seasonal dessert topper in place of chocolate or whipped cream.
