In Compestine's version of 'Rapunzel,' Pu Zel, the princess heroine, isn't kidnapped by an evil witch. Instead, she locks herself in the high tower because it's the only place where she isn't burdened by the demands and expectations of the imperial court - and where she's free to cook and eat what she likes.
But for Taiwanese Americans like myself, in particular, the night market staple is a point of national pride and, more simply, just a delicious everyday food.
