Makunouchi Bento
Makunouchi is a popular type of Japanese bento which consists of fish, meat, pickles, eggs and vegetables along with rice and an umeboshi.
The word makuno-uchi bentō ("between-act bento"), dates back to the peaceful and prosperous time of the Edo Period (1603 to 1867), when they were served during the intermissions of Noh and Kabuki theater performances. (Source Wikipedia)
Our local Japanese Supermarkets have these for lunch and I like all the different flavors.
I counted twelve different kinds of food in this bento, reasonably priced at $6.99.

Food presentation has come a long since the first caveman/woman threw a dinosaur chop on the fire.

I know I would like this! Oh yum, too bad our theater doesn't serve something like this. I'd go to the movies more often.

I think it's a hobby AND an obsession. Those long beans look delicious.
