Allthingspurple, I thot of fixing the ox egg so it won’t move. LOL! Thanks for the tip of embedding egg into ham. Mmm….that rings a bell in my mind now!

Both japanese bento-er Yukinko and Asami did almost similar cow bento like Aichigo’s too, as prob with most other jap moms. Cow bento are really popular with Japanese moms this year. Various versions, all moo cow. *grin*. Yukinko has a similar steps like your cow bento but its a great idea of yours to use eggs instead of rice like she does. You need to round out the rice while with eggs you neednt have to.

That’s a really good idea to embed the quail egg. I saw how the jap mom embed their quail eggs in cut out ham rings. That is an option too.
