Mmmh, one can not count food. Jotzet (talk) 09:47, 17 January 2019 (UTC) Food is an uncountable noun (one item of food?) but it's also pretty ambigous. Is a bowl of stew "one item of food" or a mixture of many? Is a slice of cake one item of food or is a whole cake one item of food? One potato or bean is one item, but so are many potatoes/beans mashed? - Themightyquill (talk) 12:13, 17 January 2019 (UTC) If I see a picture like File:貼るエコポッカ (3394978364).jpg in a subcat of this cat, I only wish it is deleted. (I know it is not the best comment one can contribute, but alas...) --E4024 (talk) 13:25, 17 January 2019 (UTC) This is a very worrisome problem. - Count and Non-Count Nouns But I think, Something parent-category (of food) is necessary. I hope you have another good category-name. Thanks. --Benzoyl (talk) 23:54, 20 January 2019 (UTC) As one example, Category:Snack foods by country is countable (plural). --Benzoyl (talk) 06:19, 9 July 2019 (UTC) In that usage, foods refers to types of food. For the same reason, we have Category:Bread by Category:Breads by type. But I assuming you wouldn't want this photo in Category:One food just because they are all one snack food. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:09, 11 July 2019 (UTC) Category:Groups of food is fine, but for counted amounts, it should be clear what is being counted, so something like this: Category:Groups of food Category:Groups of pieces of food (food divided in such a way as each piece is separated/distinct for each other piece) Category:Groups of 1 piece of food (including File:Finnish bread (4355468349).jpg and File:Cheesecake with blueberry topping.jpg) Category:Groups of 7 pieces of food (including File:Pocky-Sticks.jpg) Category:Groups of servings of food Category:Groups of 1 serving of food (including File:Cheesecake with blueberry topping.jpg) Category:Groups of 2 servings of food (including File:Hallem.jpg) Category:Groups of types of food Category:Groups of 1 type of food (including File:Pocky-Sticks.jpg) Category:Groups of 3 types of food (including File:Admirals Luncheon 2014 (13623476223).jpg) @Jotzet, Themightyquill, and Benzoyl: Comments? Josh (talk) 00:47, 3 October 2019 (UTC) It's definitely not perfect, but I suppose it could work if someone wants to go to that effort. - Themightyquill (talk) 10:14, 3 October 2019 (UTC) Thank you for the very clear idea. I agree these categorizing. --Benzoyl (talk) 20:23, 8 October 2019 (UTC) @Benzoyl and Themightyquill: Closed (no objection; organize per proposal) Josh (talk) 00:55, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
