Portrait of A Chinese Child's Lunchbox

If it were up to them there would be an entire trout stuffed into their lunchboxes everyday.

No seriously,
a trout. 
With the eyeballs still intact.....
apparently they are tasty.
I'm going to go ahead and take their word for that.
Much like the chicken feet. 

So the trout is out and alternative....not going to make your classmates hurl.... Chinese food is in.

Since a few people have asked me what we feed them(pretty much what we feed the rest of our families with some alterations here and there) I thought I'd show you what a day in the life of their lunchbox looks like.

Water bottle
An orange
Shrimp Chips
Wasabi something or other
And Tofu beef stick kabobs of an unknown origin. I cannot tell you how much they love these things. I threw the package in the picture in case you want to pick some up for your little Asian sensation. I buy them for $1.39 at our Chinese grocery store.......and I bought about 700 packages of them while in China for 0.29 a package.
Score.

Not pictured was this which also goes in but I was half asleep and sipping my coffee at 6:30am when I was making this lunch.

Some kind of rice cracker thingamajig with sesame looking seeds in it.

And a banana....which also didn't make the photograph. Again....sleepy.....early.....half caffeinated.....

So there ya have it.
Our Asian sensations lunches look remarkably different than our bio kids lunch boxes which are filled with Americanized cr....errrrr.... garbage......but that's a whole nother post.
