In a nutshell - it is a meal in a box.
Hailing from the realm of Japanese cuisine, the bento is traditionally a box-shaped container with a meal of rice, vegetables and meat or fish.
They can be purchased at convenience stores all over Japan as 'ready to eat' lunch boxes. They can be served at restaurants. They can be made at home. The containers can be disposable, beautiful lacquer-ware, plastic, simple, artfully decorated or plain. The food itself can be just as varied.
Bento can be as simple or elaborate as you please!
I'm sure when people initially start to research what bento is all about, it can be quite intimidating...
