Episode Description:
Alice is the new kid in her grade 1 elementary school class. With the school canteen out of commission, parents must prepare lunchboxes for a while- and, unfortunately, Alice knows exactly what this means! The lunchboxes that Bryan makes are vastly different to those of her classmates. Her pleas to her father to make her a cute Japanese lunchbox fall on deaf ears, with Bryan seeing his sandwiches as representing their British heritage. A family crisis looms until Itsuki has an interesting idea...

Is it watchable?

I don't know how to feel about this one. On one hand, the start of this episode brings up an interesting, yet negative social commentary in the form of kids bullying Alice for her foreign, British-style lunchbox that Bryan made.
On the other hand, the segment where Bryan learns to make Kyaraben is informative, and the results are impressive. Rewatching this episode, I'm thinking about looking into how to make my own Kyaraben.
