It was raining when I woke up and for a minute I was considering NOT going to class. That was a minute I should’ve spent cooking so when I got out of the shower and it was time to put together the daily bentos I was kinda in a hurry.
- Koka Instant Chicken Noodles with peas
- Koka Wasabi Noodle Snack
- Apple bits
- Yellow cherry tomato filler
- Castus Mixed Nuts Fruit Bar for me
- Pink lollipop for Martin
I feel a bit awkward bringing a bento to class. My classmates are always peeking and asking what it is and why there’s grass in my lunch. Most of them just buy sandwiches at the cantina or bring dark rye bread with leverpostej or salami – which Danes are apparently famous for.
In our marketing class we’re always discussing how people do and buy certain things to signal certain messages to the people around them. But I genuinely feel that my bentos aren’t a statement at all. In fact I’m a bit embarrassed that I respond to bentos and cute Japanese kitchenware the way I do… but I guess there are worse things to enjoy than that.
