Bento Boxes (1 Viewer)

Went mad googling these yesterday, even ordered some from ebay. The only bento's I'd had were in restaurants so were dead boring...but some people go to great lengths to make theirs nice.
It's brilliant stuff altogether, the Japanese really know how to do lunches!

You can be super creative like the first two or you can do a more ordinary but nutritious one (and veggie ones too obviously) like the bottom one.

I've got one but I never put anything exciting or pretty in it. I mostly just cart leftover dinner to work in it. Sigh.
