Obento, where art thou?

I've been economising through the medium of packed lunch. There's a weird reverse tupperware tardis thing going on where the portions in the clip'n'lock look pretty tiny in the tub, but when you tip them out on to a plate you've got food for the 5000.

In the complete opposite of economising and a clear case of cultural appropriation, I've bought a cute bento box which someone is shipping to me from Japan (Ha! HK). I'm very excited about my new lunch box. Only wonderful, healthy things will be allowed to step inside.

I consider it unlikely I will be getting into charaben. I'm too lazy, and I have trouble eating cute things.

Isn't it a modern treat to be waiting for the post?

Ah, but cute and healthy need not be synonymous. My suggestion is to go look at adorable confections until you feel too guilty to eat anything with icing or fondant. If you haven't seen Peep sushi you should google it.

Have you ever tried graze boxes? They are wonderful and they come in the post too.
