Middle-Eastern "Bento"-Boxes??

[Halalmom]

Good Morning,

I need some inspiration...

Recently I fell in love with those japanese bento-boxes for lunch! Wonderful little things to take to work, like vegetables, rice... whatever.
There are three of us at home, everyone takes his own lunchbox to work/school. DH takes sandwiches and/or salad, son takes sandwiches and I take whatever's left.

Any ideas for middle-eastern inspired lunchbox ideas?? Should be easy to pack, no need to heat up or kept cool, no mess to eat... (and easy to prepare )

Thanks for your help!

Gabi,

I'm loving the Bento Box idea! Give me an hour or so & I'll post some ideas for you I'm running round like a headless chicken with ZWT 4 at the moment

OK well, I'm not sure I can tick ALL your boxes here but....

Ideas:

Bourek / Spring rolls
M'hajeb
Afghan meat turnovers
Samosas
Sambusak
Falafel
Shawarma
Hummus wraps
Cous cous salad
Tabbouli
Kebabs
Sumac / Spicy roasted vegetables & chicken wings
Arab style frittata - olives, parsley, red onion, mint, merguez etc.

I'll have another think about this!
