Coffin bread has been sold at night markets in Tainan and Taipei since at least the 1940s. Coffin bread starts as a thick Texas toast style slab of white bread which is hollowed out and either toasted or fried before being 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 typical coffin look.
