Comments

English is often difficult to completely master, even for a native speaker. The English language is continually evolving. While plurals seem straightforward, there are numerous exceptions, such as food and foods; and how to know what the difference is between the two.

“Food” is almost always an uncountable noun used to refer to food in general, while “foods” is the countable plural noun, meaning kinds of food. When used as an attributive noun, “food” functions much like an adjective for either singular or plural nouns although we might find the word “food” used as a countable singular noun in rare cases.

This article will discuss food versus foods, count and noncount nouns, determiners, and issues related to words of quantity. Read on to become an expert not just on food vs. foods, but all count and noncount nouns you encounter.

Is Foods the Plural of Food?

The short answer is yes, but we’ll need to understand the function of count and noncount nouns to know when to use this form properly. Food is most often used in the singular form as a noncount noun for the category of food; however, we use the plural form “foods” when referring to multiple food types (source).

For example, you might have Chinese food, Italian food, Mexican food, all in one place during a festival or some special buffet. If you sampled them all, you could claim to have tried various foods from around the globe.

There are various noun categories, including singular, plural, common, collective, noncount, count, and attributive nouns (source).

Singular nouns refer to a specific subject such as food, cabin, boy, wall, door. 

Plural nouns refer to more than one, such as foods, cabins, boys, walls, doors.

Common nouns, as opposed to capitalized proper nouns, are not specific, referring to a very broad class of something, like milk or coffee.

Common nouns do not refer to individuals as individuals but by the common characteristics denoted by the noun. Food is a common noun.

Collective nouns are also known as group nouns that reference a group of individuals as a single entity. The three types of collective nouns are persons, animals, or things, whether objects or concepts.

Examples include a child, a herd, or a bouquet of flowers. We can use them with indefinite articles and they have plural forms.

Uncountable, noncount, or mass nouns refer to a substance we can divide indefinitely or an abstract concept.

They differ from collective nouns in that we do not use them in English with an indefinite article unless they are double nouns, and they do not have a plural form.

Many foods are noncount nouns like sugar, rice, pepper, or tea (source).

Count nouns refer to kinds of people, animals, or things that can be counted individually, such as foods, chairs, pens, and dollars. We can easily assign numbers or definite articles to them, and they have singular and plural forms.

Attributive nouns often function as adjectives, describing another noun as in the case of “food group” or “food groups.” Merriam-Webster lists “food” as a noun and one that is often attributive (source). 

It is interesting to note that attributive nouns sound like compound nouns when spoken —  for example, a steel bridge or a wood house — but they are not compound nouns.

Compound nouns such as “rowboat” or “rainbow” are not attributive nouns. Row does not modify the boat, and rain does not modify the bow.

The noun that the attributive noun modifies can be either singular or plural.

Noun Example Sentences
Noncount Food makes me happy.
Countable Singular Cereal is a food.
The girl is eating an orange.
Noncount Cereal is food.
Let’s go out for some food.
We ate a lot of food.
Countable Plural There are so many foods to choose.
The buffet was a smorgasbord of foods from different countries.
There are many Asian restaurants that serve foods from China and Korea.
Attributive What are the major food groups?
Do you have food allergies?
The food choice was limited.

In the second example, “Cereal is a food,” the word “food” is a countable singular noun, placing the uncountable noun “Cereal” as one type of food.

We can also omit the article “a” and simply state that cereal is food. Adding an article helps to emphasize something as a particular example of a larger concept.

Food and Foods as Count Nouns

Both the words “food” and “foods” can be countable nouns, depending on the context. When used in the countable category, the definition always refers to the different types.

A count noun is just what it sounds like — something made up of distinct, countable units, so they can take singular or plural forms.

A count noun will often have a quantity word, number, or article in front of it. For instance, the count noun “table” is written as “a table,” “the table,” “one table,” “five tables,” or “the tables” (source).

The key to understanding the use of countable and uncountable nouns is their relationship to determiners, which includes definite articles, indefinite articles, possessives, quantifiers, and numbers (source).

A determiner is similar to an adjective, except a determiner can only go before the noun.

Again, “foods” is always a countable noun, while “food” can be countable or uncountable. When used in the uncountable category, “food” refers to the things we eat. When used as a countable noun, food refers to particular types of food (source).

Countable Singular Food Noncount Singular Food
Food = particular types of food. Food = the things we eat.
The fruit is a food. I ate too much food.
The pears are a food. I ate the food on my plate.
He has a food allergy. Hey, that was my food!
There are five food groups. We went out for some food.
He prepared 10 food dishes. We watched him prepare the food.

Count Nouns and Indefinite Articles

When we add an “a” or “an” in front of a noun, we turn it into something we can break down into smaller pieces or elements.

“A” and “an” are used as modifiers for nonspecific nouns, so they are called indefinite articles. The articles “a” or “an” are only used with singular count nouns and never with noncount nouns.

Since food begins with the consonant “f,” we use the article “a” instead of “an,” which is only used for words beginning with the vowel sound (source).

Singular Example Sentence Plural Example Sentence
food An apple is a delicious food. foods Many types of food are served in the cafeteria.
food What type of food is your favorite, Asian or American? foods I like a variety of foods, including fruits and vegetables.
orange I ate an orange. oranges I like oranges.
bean What kind of bean do you like? beans There are many varieties of beans.
boy John is a boy. boys John and Bill are boys.
soup My favorite soup is tomato. soups I can never decide which soups to buy at the store.
cookbook Jane borrowed one cookbook from the library. cookbooks John borrowed four cookbooks.
coat I have a coat. coats I have a few winter coats.
hat John’s hat is over there. hats John has many hats.

Count Nouns and Definite Articles

“The” is used when referring to specific nouns, so we call it a definite article.

A definite article is when the reader knows the noun’s identity — for example, “The orange was delicious.” “The” can also modify noncount nouns — for example, “The food” or “The coffee” (source).

It is essential to remember that count nouns have both singular and plural forms, whereas noncount nouns do not have a plural form.

Noncount Nouns Definite Article The
Food The food is delicious.
health The health of our students is in jeopardy.
English The English test was easy.
fur The fur on the cat was fluffy.

Count Nouns: Quantifiers and Numbers

We can only add numbers before counts nouns, but we can add quantifiers before either count nouns or noncount nouns. We can attach quantifiers like some, enough, all, more, less, no, any, none, plenty of, lots of, and not to either count or noncount nouns.

However, there are some quantifiers that we can only use with count nouns, like several, many, few, a number of, and a majority of.

Quantifier Count Noun Example Sentence
some grapes I have some grapes.
several foods There were several foods to choose from.
many food The caterers wanted to ensure there were many food options.
few food The menu listed few low-fat foods.
enough apples I can never have enough apples.
Number Count Noun Example Sentence
one food I had to choose one food.
two food They gave me two food options.
three foods The meal centered around three foods.
nine potatoes I have nine potatoes.
four eggs He added four eggs.

Food as a Noncount Noun

Inversely, an uncountable, noncount, or mass noun is not countable. Noncount nouns are considered whole, undividable into different parts. Noncount nouns generally refer to abstractions and sometimes have a collective meaning (source).

Noncount nouns do not always require articles, and when they use them, they always use “the” and never “a” or “an.”

Noncount nouns do not have a plural form. The categories included under noncount nouns are a mass, an organic substance, food, abstract concepts, games, disease, school subjects, and a language. However, we will discover rules have exceptions.

Category Noncount Nouns
A mass Clothes, money, work
Organic substance Hair, blood
Food Milk, bread, cream, water
Abstract concept Health, time, education
A game Lacrosse, chess, volleyball
Diseases Flu, virus, cold, chickenpox
School subject English, science, math
A language German, Portgegese, Polish
Noncount Nouns Example Sentence
Food Food makes me happy.The food was great!
Money Joe made a lot of money over the summer.
Hair My hair is greasy.
Cream I enjoy cream in my coffee.
Health Marvin is in good health.
Lacrosse Lacrosse is not an easy sport to play.
Chicken Pox The little girl has chickenpox.
Math Math was never my favorite subject.
German German is not an easy language to learn.

Noncount Nouns: Quantifiers

While we can apply qualifiers to count and noncount nouns, there are some quantifiers we can only use with noncount nouns. These include much, little, a bit, a large amount of, a great deal of, and a large quantity of. 

Quantifier Count/Noncount Example Sentence
much noncount I have so much food.
many count I have so many bananas.
A lot of (much) noncount I have a lot of food.
Lots of (many) count I have lots of food.
little uncountable I have very little food to eat.
few count A have a few pieces of candy.
A little bit of uncountable There is a little bit of wine in the stew.

Others that can modify both count and noncount nouns are some, any, plenty of, enough, and no, all referring to a nonspecific amount. “Foods” will always be countable, while “food” is usually uncountable.

Quantifier Count/Noncount Example Sentence
some noncount There is some juice on the counter.
some noncount I have some food.
any noncount I don’t have any candy.
any count Do you have any apples?
Plenty of noncount I have plenty of food for the party.
enough count I have enough apples for every child.
no count There are no more bananas to eat.

Food and Double Nouns

Food can function as a count or noncount noun. However, the meaning changes a bit depending on the use. According to the writing center at Walden University, the name for such nouns is double nouns (source). 

When double nouns are in the noncount form, they refer to a whole idea. When used in the count form, it must be used with an indefinite article or changed to plural. Most double nouns refer to food.

A few examples of double nouns as food and different food types, such as wine, cheese, and tea. Here are examples using the same noun as both count and noncount:

Count Example Sentence Noncount  Example Sentence
food An apple is food. food Let’s go out for some food.
wine There are so many varieties of wine. wine The Sonoma Valley in California produces some of the finest wine.
glass I have a glass of milk. glass We use glass cups for milk.
tea I drank four cups of tea today. tea My favorite tea is red rooibos.
life She leads a dangerous life. life Life is precious.

Final Thoughts

No discussion on nouns would be complete without delving into articles, the function of determiners for both count and noncount nouns, and the function of adjectives apart from articles.

You will most often encounter “food” as an uncountable noun, but “foods” will always be a countable noun. When you do encounter “food” as a countable noun, it will have the indefinite article “a” in front of it.

READING

2.     
Read the following text and number the paragraphs.
Study the meanings of the words in bold.

A.   Another favourite summertime food, often served at a cookout, is
freshly picked corn on the cob. The green cov­ering (the husk) is
stripped off and the cob with its kernels of corn (an entire piece of corn is
sometimes called an ear) is dropped into boiling water. When it is ready,
butter is spread on the corn and it is salted. The corn is then held at
the ends with the fingers and the kernels are stripped off in mouthfuls, until
only the cob remains.

B.   The clambake is a special kind of cookout that originated on
the Eastern seashore. A fire is built in a pit, and rocks in the pit are heated.
The rocks are covered with a layer of seaweed. The clams, lobsters, and
other seafood are put on the top of the seaweed and the whole thing is covered
with a heavy cloth to keep the heat and moisture in and bake the
seafood.

C.   When the weather is warm, many families enjoy a cookout in the
yard with a portable grill that uses small blocks of partly-burned wood
called charcoal. One reason for eating outside is that it may be cooler
than the kitchen and dining room. However, many people enjoy eat­ing outside
because they enjoy the taste of charcoal-broiled meats and being out­side in
the fresh air.

D.   The barbecue — made famous in the American West — is a cookout where a
single large piece of meat such as a side of beef is roasted on a spit
over an open fire. The spit has a handle, and it is turned slowly as the
meat roasts. Special barbecue sauces are often ap­plied to the meat as it
roasts.

E.    Steak, hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken are the meats that are
most commonly char-broiled. Cooking over charcoal is not easy, however, and
many times the meats are burned because the grill is too hot. Sometimes shish
kebab is prepared over the grill. Small chunks of meat, onions and green
pepper are skewered on a long metal pin which is called a skewer.

F.    There are other variations on the practice of eating outside. One,
of course, is the picnic. Food is packed in a basket, drinks are brought in a
cooker, and the family goes to the countryside for the afternoon.

G.   Strawberry shortcake is a favour­ite summertime dessert. The cake
is sliced in half, and partially crushed strawberries are placed between
the two halves and on top. Cream that has been beaten into a light, smooth topping
-whipped cream — is added to the top. Another summertime favourite is a scoop
of ice cream in a dish, served with a strawberry or chocolate topping, and
sometimes with nuts and whipped cream — the popular sundae.

H.   Cold drinks go naturally with cookouts. Beer, iced tea and soft
drinks are usually available. While waiting for the charcoal to become hot,
people sip their drinks and nibble on appetisers such as potato chips and sour
cream dip.

Food contents

Which food is healthy and which is unhealthy, to your mind?

Are there any kinds of food you eat all the time? What are they?

What do you have for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

Any food usually consists of:

  • protein
  • carbohydrates
  • fibre
  • fat
  • vitamins and minerals

What are they?

 Task 1. Match the terms with their descriptions. Pay attention to the words in bold.

1 protein A a substance contained in foods such as meat, cheese and butter which forms an energy store in your body
2 carbohydrates B the indigestible part of a food found mostly in wholemeal bread, vegetables and fruit
3 vitamins C body building substance found in foods such as eggs and meat
4 fibre D substances such as sugar and starch found in foods
5 fat E natural organic substances found in most foods which are necessary for growth

Food types and dishes

Roe vs Caviar
Оба слова roe и caviar означают «икра». Только изначально roe — это, как правило, просто икра, а caviar — икра, которую солили или как-то по-другому мариновали, а затем консервировали.

Однако США и Канаде на банках пишется слово caviar, только если это икра осётра. На банках икры другой рыбы пишут название рыбы и добавляют слово roe, например, salmon roe — икра лосося, carp roe — икра карпа, trout roe — икра форели, и т.д.

В Европе словом caviar также можно назвать только икру осётра, а вот икра других рыб будет называться заменителем икры — caviar substitute.

Words Easily Confused

Food, meal, cuisine

FOOD

Food is the most general word, referring to anything you can eat. A banana is food. A hamburger is food. A salad is food. 

The word food is usually singular – so you should say “I ate a lot of food last night” not “I ate a lot of foods last night”.

But there are some exceptions – we use foods when talking about several food types, for example, 

At the international festival, I tried foods from around the world.”

DISH

The word dish has two meanings:

1) a physical object used to hold, cook, and serve food. When we talk about washing the dishes, we are washing the plates, bowls, pots, pans, spoons, forks, etc.

2) it can also refer to one prepared item of food, like a lasagna or a fruit salad. 

MEAL

The word meal refers to the customary time/occasion of eating food. Most people eat 3 meals – breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Meal also refers to all the food eaten during one of these occasions – so one meal can include multiple dishes. Dinner is one meal, but you might have chicken, rice, salad, and ice cream. Each of those is one dish, and when eaten all together on one occasion, they are a meal.

A meal may include many dishes.

CUISINE

The word cuisine describes a typical manner/style of preparing food. We usually use this word with with country adjectives (Italian cuisine, Brazilian cuisine, Moroccan cuisine) or ethnic or regional adjectives (Cajun cuisine, Jewish cuisine, South Indian cuisine). In everyday English, however, many people simply say “food” when talking about getting something to eat:

I love Chinese food.

Do you want to try some Ethiopian food?

Practice

Read this short text. Answer these questions.

a What is it not acceptable to do at mealtimes in China?

b How is eating similar or different in your country?

In China, the sorts of plates / dishes served at the three main meals are pretty much the same – soup, rice or noodles, and meat and vegetables. Each person has their own bowl of rice and a couple / pair of chopsticks, but helps themselves to the soup, meat and vegetables directly from the communal plates in the centre of the table. It is perfectly acceptable to reach across the table to take food. 

To eat the rice, the diner raises / rises the bowl to their lips and pushes the grains into their mouth with the chopsticks. The diner must finish all the rice. To leave even a tiny amount is considered bad manners.
