Not at all a silly question... :) Bento is just home made meal packed in a box. The term comes from Japan, where it's really common for parents to send their kids to school with a really cute lunch to show they love them.
These actually help me control the quantities I eat at lunch and the quality of the food. The fact that it's cute and also all the work I put into making and organising it in the morning, is what keeps me from pouting when everyone else at work gets to eat restaurant junk food which I can't have, so it's really convenient. Also I'm sure everyone is secretly super jealous of my smiling food!
