So Bento boxes are are sort of boxed meals. It’s a Japanese food thing. There’s a Chinese equivalent that doesn’t quite roll off the tongue as well (bien dan?), but I don’t think the Chinese ones aim for as much visual appeal. I could be wrong though.
For a more in-depth intro to bento boxes, here’s a [book]:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/4889960732/104-7123113-7355903?v=glance about them, and a [blog entry]:http://www.cosmicbuddha.com/adam/archives/000419.html about them. But you know, there are some really [bizarre bento boxes]:http://www-personal.umich.edu/~msittig/bento/ and even a [moblog]:http://mito.typepad.com/photos/bento/ featuring real-world production-quality bento boxes. You really must visit the page about bizarre bento boxes though. It’s awesome. Trust me.
