BentoTV

Oh, I think BentoTV is just about the cutest thing EVER. I want every little bento box, nori punch, and rice mold she carries.

Too bad the show isn't vegan. But I think a lot of the ideas could easily be veganized. (Do veggie dogs make good octopuses?)

OMG, that is hilarious! I love the two-tiered bento box! I wonder where you can get them?

Hi Jennifer Schmoo!
I'm sure you've seen this page.... but just in case:

It's the Vegan Bento photo group on Flickr, where people post pictures of their vegan bento creations. It's pretty fun to look at.

She sells all these products in her ebay store -- follow the link on her site.

Wow - what a great find! Thanks for sharing.

Dave Barry featured those octopus hot dog cutters on his Holiday Gift Guide a couple years ago. Sorry, but I think it's pretty disgusting! I never was a fan of hot dogs, though...

I live in Japan, maybe we could work trades...too cute obento boxes for u.s. stuff they don't have here.

momo said...

I love bento. I own too many bento items to keep up.

WannabeMe said...

You can get them at any Sanrio Stores, or asian supermarkets.

I love this thank you. You're my lunchbox mentor- I can't tell you how stressful it had been to try and compromise with my son on what he'll eat at school but I've bought the laptop lunch box and am looking forward to an easier year.

Now, I'm dying to use the egg molds. Any bright ideas for vegan things I can mold?

adorable. I never saw this show.

Aimee said...

I couldn't get the feed on my (dial up) computer. But man, I still totally got sucked in on the cool bento goodies. I'm waiting on rice molds (which I had been wanting), little veggie cutters, and a nori butterfly shape maker (which I think is just a paper punch, but we'll see). My kids are going to totally dig it (they Love nori!) Thanks for the tip! -Aimee

Vicki's Vegan Vice said...

this is just about the cleverest thing i've seen -- right up there with the vegan lunch box! :o) thanks for sharing that link.

fiammetta said...

yes they look like paper punches that i've had before? let us know if they are or if they are somehow specific to nori.

Jennifershmoo said...

Mine just arrived today, and it does indeed look just like the paper punches at the scrapbooking store. Wow, who knew nori could be so much fun? :-)

robiewankenobie said...

i blame you. i couldn't afford a laptop lunchbox, so i bought bento for our family. it is seriously addictive. not to mention the vegetarian/vegan sushi obsession it spawned.

oh, and you are keeeeeeeeeeling me over here with your recipes. i've read your blog for freakin' forever, but last week i started working through your recipes. they are all seriously amazing. i'm going to download the rest of them until the cookbook comes out? when is that already?

fiammetta said...

how exciting! i have strange non-rice eating vegetarian kids, it drives me crazy, they have never liked rice. maybe JUST maybe if it was heart shaped rice with tiny heart nori decorations on it, it would be eaten... i can dream

Someone Beautiful said...

I just wanted to stop by and thank you for this inspiring blog of yours! I am not a vegetarian (just aspire to eat whole foods), but I keep coming back to your blog for ideas and inspiration. Thank you! I am looking forward to getting your book. :) There are probably lots more non-vegetarian lurkers enjoying your blog. Thank you for sharing pictures of your good eats. :)

fiammetta said...

check out tupperware.com and go to On the go in the menu bar and see the mealtimes to go pack, it is the cutest bento style/ tiffin style pack i have ever seen, 4 circular containers of varying sizes all with good sealing lids and one with a microwave spout that fit perfectly into a cylindrical insulated bag, i ordered one for my university lunches so they can hold an entires day worth of food, snacks and lunch etc
