@OkashiProDubs Taste no different from chicken eggs if you ask me.. Just that the size is smaller and the egg whites are..a little bit softer in my opinion.

I was wondering if anyone has had quail eggs do they taste different then regular eggs?

I'm gonna try this someday. Maybe the weekend or something. 1 question. Where's the rice????

Its easier to cut the one sausage in HALF, and cut from the flat sliced end in

i hate when the time comes to eat my bento cuz i'll take a bite out of something outragously cute and say NO! after every bite i take

a trick with the octopus sausages would be to put them into boiling water for a short amount of time c:

Lucky! I rarely have the time to even do the precutting cause I was always studying for AP tests and what not xD Now that college is starting, I probably have less time... but when I do, I usually end up making dessert only bentos the most simply because I love sweets a bit too much xDD It's a wonder why I dont have cavaties haha xD

@SuperLoli101 Ya, I know what you mean...I tend to make them especially for my nieces and nephews when they stay with me for school vacation camps :) But,if anyone wants some hints:I do things like precutting the lunchmeat and fruits and veggies and keep them in china containers, not plastic because they can get dry or mildewy and I sometimes even have a layer of rice underneath to obsorb moisture.Stcikyrice stays for a few days if you keep it moist,it perks by warming with H20/vinegar <3
