I like sushi, but a lot of people don’t. I think the main objection to it isn’t the taste or texture, it’s more the idea that you are eating something raw. So something that would probably help a lot of people get over the idea, would be some stunning, amazing bento boxes that would take your mind off what you were eating. Enter Anna the Red’s Bento Factory.

These are pictures of the bento (lunch) boxes that she makes for her child and I can’t tell you enough how awesome they are. The cool thing is, she includes complete instructions so you could technically do the same (well, maybe you could, I certainly couldn’t). The site is really amazing and well worth a look, but I will give you a couple of examples to wet your appetite (literally and also to check out the page):
