  BBC - h2g2 - Bento - Japanese Food
Bento is the Japanese version of a packed lunch, usually taken to work and school by adults and schoolchildren alike, as a convenient and nutritious meal.
Bento can be traced as far back into Japanese history as the 5th Century, when people who spent all day working away from the home (hunting, farming, fishing or fighting) needed something nutritious that they could prepare quickly to take with them as they travelled.
Because bento is a dish that is eaten a considerable amount of time after it is cooked, any food that is used in the meal is chosen and prepared carefully.
