I've got a question, for those of my friends who have used egg molds

[conuly]

(If you can't answer, I'll just have to crosspost, so save me from that!)

Ana tentatively agreed that she'd be more likely to try egg whites (no guarantee she'd actually enjoy them, but that's fair, I have my own odd aversion to pasta with non-shrimp seafood mixed in) if the egg was made into a cute shape.

Like with an egg mold.

Thing is, I hate peeling eggs. I never really get it right, and it's a pain and a half, and shell gets everywhere - ugh!

So I had a bright idea. At least, I think it was a bright idea. What if I used a poached egg instead of a hard boiled one? Would that work? I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't, other than the fact that the texture of the egg wouldn't be quite as smooth and shiny.

Edit: How about this one - what happens if you boil popcorn instead of frying it?

Ah ok. I think I'm parsing you incorrectly. My apologies.

Bentos can be as simple or difficult as you want to make them. It simply takes practice and imagination.
