Help me pack a bento / work lunch

Are there any other bento'ers here? I pack them for myself and am drawing a blank on how to start making them raw. I was hoping to see some examples if anyone has them!

I'd also be interested to hear what people are brown bagging. :)

    I am not a fellow bento-er, but I love the idea of it. I actually was just looking at them online and wanted to order one.

    Have you found any interesting raw things to eat?

    I love bentos, but I especially LOVE my tiffins from india!

    There are lots of really fun bento photos on flickr. search for bento under groups and a bunch will come up that'll give you lots of ideas (mostly cooked of course--but it'll start you thinking about possibilities). My favorite group is just called "bento boxes", it has like 2000+ members!

    I bring slaws, marinated or curried veggies + mushrooms, raw chili, salad (I keep the greens in a bag, then mix with everything else right before i eat), raw bread and avocado, or zuchini hummus and veggies... Sometimes I make burgers on the weekend so I have them for the week. Or if I wake up early I'll make raw sushi + dipping sauce and bring that in.

    if i'm really in a rush i just grab an apple and an avocado and mix them up as a salad for lunch.

    Hope that helps!

    p.s. I just saw that there's a vegan bento goup on flickr too.
