In fact, the bento means a take-out-meal. So we call bento even if it is a sandwitch box. Of course you don't expect a sandwitch when you order the Japanese bento here in Europe. Characteristic thing in the Japanese bento is a mixture of various small portion of the ingredients. Many stores or canteen fille fried food, so that it keeps long time and can make full.
