Sweetener
What kinds of sweeteners are used to prepare chè? Badagnani 05:13, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Non-Vietnamese chè
I found these on Vietnamese websites; should they not appear because they're of Chinese origin? Badagnani 06:25, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Chè chân trâu
 * Chè Thái
 * They're not "chè" in the definition being used, since they're tea (trà), which in Northern Vietnamese is also rendered as "chè". DHN 06:32, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Chè Thái may means Thái Nguyên tea.--Bình Giang (talk) 04:15, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't think it's the same one. Badagnani (talk) 04:32, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * See this link. It looks like cendol (chè ba màu / chè thập cẩm). Badagnani (talk) 04:35, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Redirects
I propose that we remove many of the redirects. In a sense, Chè can be compared to a hamburger, where the possibilities for variety are endless. In addition, none of the proposed redirects have a citation. 69.231.193.213 (talk) 19:11, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

I plan to add more information on the cultural side of chè/the history and importance of it. The sources listed above provide information on different types of chè and where they originated from, as well as how chè is culturally important to Vietnam. This article is also lacking in sources in general, so I plan to find more to add so the information will be more credible as a whole. There is a lot of information about the different kinds of chè too, I'm not sure if all of it is significant. There are so many different kinds of variations it comes to a point where you could have almost any combo of toppings and still consider it chè. Also, whether or not chè was influenced by outside sources/ how it is relevant in other parts of South East Asia is something I plan to look into as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zjurkowski24 (talk • contribs) 01:00, 25 September 2020 (UTC)


 * This is so interesting! I respect your comments regarding the current dynamics of the article, I agree that there are areas where it is lacking and certain parts where it seems to be overwhelming. The focus on the cultural importance would be a very vital add, as chè seems at the moment merely a one-dimensional food with roots in Vietnam. I also love the idea of expanding your research to possibly try and seek an influence or effect of the dish on other areas of South East Asia, as the areas have circulated cultural ideas throughout history. Additionally, I respect the fact that you intend to take on the challenge of further validating the article with more sources. This will be helpful not only to other Wiki users but to the public when seeking more information as well! Good luck, I think this will be a wonderful edit!
