Description
First off, this is not by best work and I'm not exactly uber proud of it.Seccond off, I was watching the ep 15 of "APH: World Series" and saw the bento Italy made for Germany and I was like O_O
So I set out to make the bento. I would re-do Italy's hair, but I'm off in a few minutes and don't really have the time, Oh well, maybe I'll redo the bento later...
Third off, this is not exactly to the one in the show. I'm missing a lot of things (mostly 'cause if I did so I would have tiny riceballs and be very hungry)
Germany:
Rice, eggs, cheese, nori
Italy:
Cheese, food dye, nori, rice
Japan:
Rice, cheese, nori
Fillers:
Paul the Octopus (in hot dog form), breakfast sausages, tamagoyaki, pasta.
And I know the tamagoyaki does not look appetizing. I don't know if I'll eat it or not, but I won't know for a few hours.
I don't own APH. Rights go to respected owners. I just made the bento ^^
~~~~~~~~~~
EDIT
Well there was a lot of people at my volunteering that loved it. I am now known at "the artist" XD And I did not eat the tamagoyaki. Even though it was freezing in the break room I just coundn't bear to eat it.

I suck at making a healthy bento so don't look to me. But it's simple so you should try it
And thank you (kyaraben take so long to make~).

I learned a lot and got good recipes at justbento.com
I like to make a whole bunch of rice all at once, then portion it and freeze it. I also make a whole lot of whatever protein dish, then portion & freeze it. Same with mini muffins, which I really like to make.
Unfortunately since everything's frozen it's hard to be way too creative, but I use spinach leaves as separators, I use vegetable cutters (I got a decent collection haha) for carrots and whatever produce I have on me that week. I always have a whole lot of fruit in my bento because... I like fruit. I'll stuff blueberries in whenever I see an empty spot. *sometimes* I put something on the rice, but it's frozen when I put it in my box and works like a cold pack. I keep the (usually pretty salty) protein in a silicone muffin cup to keep from getting meat flavored produce.
Oh yes, as much as I love kyaraben I don't think I could ever stand to make them regularly. I use more geometric designs, usually. Checkerboard rice, etc.
Still developing a taste for umeboshi haha.

hmmm wouldn't you be able to defrost the rice (either letting it sit overnight or heating it in the microwave. Since it's not going to harm it in anyway)?
I find that if you're careful where you place protein and vegetables there would be very little if any contamination. You'd also have to not bounce the box around a lot. Putting the fruit in the silicon cup might be a better idea (sorry just an opinion). Fruit is so good to put in there. I never add them since their a pain to handle.
Haha I can't stand to eat bentos in basic shapes like checkerboards. I put in food I don't generally eat so it has to look good or I won't eat it.
*has not and never will try umeboshi*
For kyaraben I'd recommend annathered.com She's a kyaraben maker and why I started making bentos. I love her work though she's slowed down making them. She has some tuts, but the same thing is probably on justbento.com.

I could, but 1) i am lazy as all hell and 2) it's not good to put hot things directly in because it causes condensation.
I do use silicon cups for fruit, but I usually try cramming in more than the cup will hold xD I don't have a set procedure for bento since I'm so new at it so it's basically just 'cram it all in there and make it colorful'. I like strawberries and blueberries.
I always put in things I like because... it's things I like lol.
Feh I probably won't ever really get into kyaraben. though I do want to make a Mr. Saturn themed one... hrm.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's why you wait/hope for things to cool down. I never really care about condensation since it takes a lot to get water on the food. And you can also heat those up first so when you are done with everything else it won't be as hot.
Food is good. Haha yeah, I think many people years after starting bento do that. It always has to be colorful or it will be boring. And it's good to have red because red is appetizing.
They take forever to make so you do need passion. But when creativity hits you don't stop yourself from making one.

I get my bentos ready in the morning in a time of about 7-10 minutes. There's not a lot of cooldown time.
I'm making my first kyaraben for Sunday (oh thats today lol i should sleep) and... oh wait we aren't going to see each other till the 29th. Remind me to make another- I made multiple Mr. Saturn onigiri and they're in the freezer. Instant kyraraben, lol.
JICAMA IS MY FAVORITE VEGETABLE- it's awesome tasting and does AMAZINGLY with veggie cutters. -DISCOVERED TODAY-

*_* That is so fast. I wish I had your skill.
I have lost track of days. I'll remind you.
WHAT IS THIS JICAMA!? IT SOUNDS LIKE A JAMBA JUICE DRINK!
lol I just hate using the frezer for anything bento 'cause then I don't think it's very fresh. It's probably super helpful sometimes.

I do all my veggie cutting and cooking the night before.
