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.
I must admit that this bento, from the Live Journal bento stream, gives me the crawlies just a little. I love crab, but these guys remind me a bit of bedbugs. Cute bedbugs. The crabs are sweet potato, served over a pork and eggplant donburi. On the side are veggie spring rolls, a red bean mochi (Japanese rice flour pastry) and a green salad with vinaigrette (in the plastic carrot).
