Greetings from the South!

Checking on line, it looks like a proper Bento Box requires a box.
Maybe what I had was actually a Bento?

@Steve-Miller that sounds very similar to our European experience. One day we had a Baba ghanoush appetizer at lunch and I mentioned it would be perfect to have in the evening on our veranda. When we were done lunch the server came back with two of the baba ghanoush servings wrapped up for us to put in our fridge to have later. Another time Rob was having a hard time choosing between two menu items so the server brought him both. We also found that information travelled quickly between servers. We made friends on the ship and two of us were drinking the same Riesling that wasn’t one of the standard wines on the menu. It didn’t matter which server we had, they knew which one we wanted. We also ran into the head of hospitality on the street in Cologne. She wasn’t in uniform and we hadn’t noticed her but she came over, addressed us by name, and just asked how we were enjoying the city and if there was anything she could direct us to. It was her day off and we wouldn’t have noticed it she had just walked by!

This is similar to the lunch I used to get at a little Japanese restaurant:
I used to call it a bento box. Maybe @ShiroKuro can confirm if that's the right name for it.
