    Nope, I used it. And it was okay! I was determined not to be beaten by it!

    A combination of steaming and copious amounts of veg, red wine, herbs and tomatoes disguised the taste.

    good job!

    I have forced myself to like many things over the years by trying them over n over again... olives, tomatoes, wasabi...

    can't deal with sea veges* still though. i've tried a billion times.

    (*except chinese seaweed salad and sushi if it has rice on the outside)

    eta: would u like a 'chicken' salad recipe? its yummy.

    As always Jambox your food looks gorgeous. I haven't had a proper lasgne since I've been vegan. I fail everytime when I try to make them. Here are a few of my bentos that I've made recently and not had time to post.

    1) Chic pea tangine
    2) A few leaves of iceberg lettuce
    3) Green grapes and a plum
    4) Organic mixed nuts



    1) Mixed leaf salad with added alfala sprouts
    2) A single frys sausage chopped up with mixed organic nuts and spicey salsa.
    3) A plum
    4) Organic strawberries



    1) Mushroom, split pea, oats and lentil soup
    2) Big chunk of sage and onion stuffing
    3) Whole load of red grapes
    4) Organic mixed nuts

    The taste of anything in my mouth for 5 seconds does not equate to the beauty and complexity of life.

    I finally made my first bento the other day so I could have a little picnic since it's been so nice out. Sadly, my lunch was not very photogenic, but it was tasty nonetheless!
    Top: dark chocolate, carrots, almonds, dried cranberries (inside the pink bear thingy), peanut dipping sauce for cold rolls (inside the plastic carrot), roasted red pepper hummus
    Bottom: Cold rolls/spring rolls (stuffed with vermicelli rice noodles, lettuce, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, breaded baked tofu, and basil)
    On the side: "free" apple (I "stole" it from my school's dining hall)


    Sorry it's so huge...I can't seem to resize it for some reason.

    Great bento!

    On another note, does anyone know where the "post a pic of good vegan food you've eaten" thread has gone? I think it should be made a sticky.

    Hey I'm kinda new here but had to pop in to say that I'm v impressed with everyone's bentoing skills .. they all look so cute and yummy. Food just looks so appealing when packed into those little boxes... maybe I'll have to get one (even though it is rare that I would need a packed lunch).

    I just googled Pingu...so cute!! I hope you're able to get the pingu bento, pavotrouge!

    I found this site. Somebody obviously has too much time on their hands to make (non-vegan) bento!

    Kitteh, I normally use the bottled dressing, but here's one that approximates it, from The Peaceful Palate.

    Tahini Dip

    Makes about 1 cup.

    1/2 cup tahini
    2 Tbs lemon juice
    2 Tbs soy sauce
    2 Tbs vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar)
    2 garlic cloves, pressed or crushed

    Whisk all ingredients together, and add water for desired consistency.


    tomorrow: hot sauce glazed tempeh over lettuce, steamed kale, herbed millet, dried apricots, prunes, choco-choco chip-walnut cookie

    Ella - Yep, just leeks and oil w/ the squashes, salt and pepper on the eggplant. The red pepper sauce went over it, that's where all the flavor was.

    tomorrow: black beans & sweet potato burrito w/ cilantro, grilled eggplant, sauteed zucchini, patty pan squash & leeks, taco sauce in the container, herbed millet, red pepper sauce, choco-choco chip-walnut cookie

    Cedar, they were some sort of jalapeno tortillas my friend bought, and the burritos were cooked covered in foil so I think they were steamed quite a bit which helped.

    This was the bento I took to work with me last night. Nothing special but was yummy!

    A kiwi
    A plum
    Lemon jelly with fresh mango and more kiwi
    Random mixed curry thing - kale, chic peas, garlic, onion, spinach, mashed brussell sprouts, green beans, wholegrain rice and tomato and basil marinated tofu in a veg stock and tandorri curry powder sauce!

    it's brown short-grain rice, Japanese cucumber and gingery wasabi. I use a cheap lil rice cooker for all of my rice and it comes out just right.
