Food vocabulary


I think learning English through food or any material or books in our everyday life is a easy way to get to learn English faster. Here are some vocabulary that are associated with food.
Try to think of how they are used in paired up phrases as Uncountable Nouns.

A lot of food is made up of uncountable nouns, to make them countable you need to put them in another form.

For example:-

"A ...... of ......".="A piece of fruit."
