(Poo Bread, Ddongbbang, Feces Bread, 똥빵)

Ttongppang is a traditional South Korean sweet bread originating from the Insa-dong neighborhood of Seoul. The sweet bread is shaped into a stylized human feces. Although it might look unappetizing to some people, this sweet treat is actually delicious, made with a wheat flour shell that's filled with red bean paste and pieces of walnuts.


Ttongppang is typically sold at markets as a sweet street food item. In Korean culture, poo is a good thing – it symbolizes prosperity, and if you dream about poo, it's said that you'll be prosperous.
