From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Communist bandit pastries (Chinese: 共匪餅; pinyin: Gòngfěi bǐng) are a type of Taiwanese pastry sold in Chiayi City, Taiwan. The snack is named after the term "communist bandit" (Chinese: 共匪), an anti-communist epithet that the Kuomintang had used refer to the Chinese Communist Party.[1] The owner of a Chiayi store who came up with the name had immigrated from China after having married a Taiwanese. After her customers laughingly called her a communist bandit, she named her store Communist Bandit Pastries.[2]
