Dear friends,
I have a question about the word 'food'.
It says in dictionary that 'food' is used as a countable noun only to refer to one or more types food, for instance, she avoids processed foods.
I was wondering if I like food that is fried, or steamed, food that is fried is a type of food? Do we usually say 'I like fried foods, or I like steamed foods?
I've read an article recently. The writer said 'we like to try different kinds of food, enjoy each other's company, and have a short getaway from the stressful workplace for an hour'. Why didn't the writer say 'diffent kinds of foods'?
Thank you!
