British Bento Box

My latest thing for food is a not-quite Bento box, ie a Sainsburys-bought lunchbox:

Which opens out to reveal the following:

Today I had fish finger salad in the base, with strawberries in the top compartments and caesar salad dressing in the little pot. I've just made tomorrow's lunch, using silicone cupcake cases as dividers (ideal cos they don't need to stack up neatly next to each other) - one with tomatoes, one with peppers, one with lettuce and Emmental; plus a little £1 sushi roll pack, and a pack of cheapo nibbly-things and a little pot of Philadelphia cheese for dipping:
Top tier:

Bottom tier:

I was inspired by this Flickr group, and while I don't have the official & expensive kit they have, there's lots of ideas there (Warning: looking through the photos at this group will make you hungry). I've already discovered that cheap supermarket fish fingers taste better cold the next day in salad, even though the breadcrumbs have mostly gone soft. I'm hoping this will keep lunch interesting, it's a struggle some times not to have the same stuff again and again.
