Some of the vegetables are countable/uncountable. e.g
cauliflower C/U
spinach U
ginger U
beancurd U
Some of the foods are countable/uncountable. e.g
butter U Macmillan Dictionary and Thesaurus: Free English Dictionary Online
butter C/U Merriam-Webster's Learner's Dictionary
cheese C/U
noodle C
rice U
Most of the above vegetables and foods are similar in nature, why are some countable but some are uncountable? Some of the questions are asked by a child.
Thanks.
