Japanese bentos are works of art!</p> <p>I only use bentos for snacks on the go. I think the little compartments are perfect for snacks since they are small portions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-definition-of-a-bento#post-965349 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 21:49:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 965349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha that's funny! But makes sense I guess.</p> <p>I just think of a bento as packing a lunch. I usually only have a variety of 3-5 foods, and the presentation is very meh. I usually use leftovers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-definition-of-a-bento#post-965340 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 21:47:16 +0000 yin 965340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like your bentos! Japanese bentos are on a totally different level and way too time consuming. I just put food in compartments and call it a bento. No fancy decorations. Occasionally I'll add an animal toothpick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-definition-of-a-bento#post-965255 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 21:22:35 +0000 autumnlove 965255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL is Japanese and she is horrified by the "bento" lunches that I pack for LO...poor presentation, not enough hot food and I basically throw leftovers into cupcake liners. She might be onto something... :-)</p> <p>Do you use leftovers or do you cook stuff specifically for your LO's lunch. </p>
