【小短文】台灣特色小吃Taiwanese specialities - 棺材板 Coffin bread

內容Content         

這個台南小吃是法式土司和雜燴的變異產物。
This Tainan specialty is a mutated offspring of French toast and chowder.

特厚的吐司被挖空成像平的麵包碗一樣，烤得堅硬後再放入海鮮雜燴。
An extra thick piece of bread is hollowed out to resemble a flat bread bowl. It is 
toasted to harden it and then filled with seafood chowder.

傳說是台灣廚師在學習西式料理時，發明了這個有角的麵包湯。
Legend says a Taiwanese chef who studied Western cooking invented this 
bread-soup-bowl-with-corners.

有一天一個考古學家吃了這個吐司後告訴老闆：「它看起來真像我正在挖的棺材。」

One day an archeologist tried the toast and told the chef, “It looks just like the coffin I 
am excavating now.”

因此，這個麵包雜燴就被稱為「棺材板」了。
Thus, the chowder soup took on its morbid Chinese name, which means "coffin bread."
