Wiki:Bento is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japan.A traditional bento holds rice, fish or meat, with cooked vegetables,usually in a box-shaped container.Bento can be elaborately arranged in a style called "kyaraben" ("character bento"),typically decorated to look like popular characters from Japanese cartoons, comic books, or video games. Another popular bento style is "oekakiben" or "picture bento",decorated to look like people, animals, buildings and monuments, or items such as flowers and plants.
Ruralmommy Bento is uncomplicated,minimal,and artless. Just my personal touch of inventive baon-fix up for my daughter,projected to minimize leftover chips and bonbons at home. Dot is a picky eater, but with bento, she enjoys every bite,(**shares to giddy classmates) no matter how boring and redundant her snacks are!
Since I am using an unconventional type of Bento .I prepare dot's snacks not lunch. I am not (yet) crafting a pictographic bento, but will surely put that into practice.
