The Lively History of Coffin Bread
Transcription
History
Coffin bread has been sold at night markets in Tainan and Taipei since at least the 1940s.[2] It became popular with US troops stationed in Taiwan.[3]
Description
Coffin bread starts as a thick Texas toast style slab of white bread. The bread is hollowed out and either toasted or fried before it is filled with a creamy stew of chicken, seafood, tripe, or mushroom. It is then topped with a piece of toasted or fried bread, creating the "coffin" look.[2]
