- You don't need the article to tell you. Take a bite and you know. The rinds taste terrible. Kowloonese 22:50, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Well, we should state the obvious for those who will never get the chance to eat this tropical food. --Menchi 00:13, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Is lychee a Cantonese cuisine?
Although non-Cantonese people also eat it, in my opinion it is a Cantonese cuisine. — Instantnood 19:42, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
- You realise, of course, how preposterous that opinion sounds? Are peanuts, then, food of the Americas only even if found in 四川 dishes? How about potatoes? Are any potato-based dishes American as well?
- Individual dishes can be called "Cantonese" (or whatever), but ingredients? That's just plain foolish. --MTR (严加华)
- There is a freaking common desert served in Singapore which mixes Lychees with Pineapple. Is this cantonese cuisine? Both lychees and longans are very common in Singapore's supermarket shelves, and as part of various dishes. Is this due to cantonese influence? I have my serious doubts. Anyhow, the above two responses says it all. I might be tempted to classify Tea as Chinese cuisine, and Rice as Asian cuisine, but is that practical?--Huaiwei 07:48, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
