Japan has a huge variety of bentos (Japanese lunchbox) to eat on their Shinkansens (Bullet trains).

    My favorite part of my Japan trip in May was the Shinkansen down from Tokyo to Osaka. Had a Katsu sando, Kombu and Genmaicha onigiri, A beef Yakinuku and Pork Shogayaki bento. Washed it all down with a Kirin Ichiban as I watched the cityscape flash past in a blur. I cannot wait to go back to Japan.

    I am So jealous of the amount of quality food you can get in the train stations in Japan - those ekiben boxes is food art in itself, and the number of varieties is just mind-boggling - you can get everything, and something for anybody's taste! Here in Europe we can only get cheap crap! No matter what country you go through on a train, the only thing they can offer is low quality, overpriced junk food crap! I can't even remember how many times I got diarrhea from buying food on, or near, a train station in Europe. Only one street food booth stood out, a small booth outside Gare du Nord in Paris run by a middle aged woman that sold baguettes'/flutes with high quality ham, cheese, salat and Dijon dressing - they were sooo good, and even reasonably priced. But as said, it was the diamond in the mud hole.

    I had to smile at your 'meatball and quail egg combo'! Here in the UK, we've had such a combo for decades now. We call ours 'Scotch Eggs' and they are considered a picnic or buffet dish. Generally, Scotch Eggs are small hard boiled chicken eggs, wrapped in pork sausage meat, then bread-crumbed and deep fried. They can be eaten hot , warm or cold depending on your tastes. If you want a daintier bite, you can use quail eggs, and as we have a vast range of sausages, the sausage meat can vary, too. I daresay you could probably make them with fish, such as smoked haddock, or salmon, too, and they'd still be a tasty morsel to eat!
