One of my friends requested a bento featuring the Olympic sport of curling, so here it is. But first, a little background.
Curling is a sport in which 4-person teams slide granite stones across the ice, using special brooms to guide the stone towards a circular target area. Curling has been an official Winter Olympic sport since the 1998 Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan.
This bento is loosely based on the favorite lunch spot of US Curling Olympian, Jared Zezel - Erbert & Gerbert's in Hibbing, Minnesota. Taken from Erbert & Gerbert's Facebook page: "Hibbing's own Team USA Curling Member Jared Zezel's favorite Erbert & Gerberts meal: Flash on wheat no mayo and a cup of Fiery Chili. Eat like an Olympian!!!!"
On a bed of cauliflower florets lies a curling Olympian made out of nori (edible seaweed sheet). I placed a small portion of chili in one section of the lunchbox, while a sandwich of capicola, ham and salami graces the other section.

It is beautiful! And so yummy looking. I wish you could mail one to me overnight!!!
