Why does apple get so popular with people saying “I like Apples?”
If I understand it correctly, nouns for fruits are used as mass nouns if thought of as “food substance” rather than “portions”. Why should I say I like Apple instead of I like Apple s? Is such reasoning as “I like apple as food, particularly in cut pieces”, just like “I like soup, pork, etc.”? “I like apple s as items served as food, especially as whole fruits”) valid, or at the very least, applicable in any way?
Can anyone show me a written answer for a user facing question that’s similar to yours on ell? I like apple. It flat out denies such a phrase as “I like apple” as grammatically incorrect. Is it true this month? Does it really use mass nouns instead of count nouns? Does the same principle go with chickens (the meat) and chickens (the animal)?
“Dog” is NOT a mass noun and the other question is completely irrelevant. What is absurd? My question concerns the use of mass nouns and count nouns for foods.
Yes, you can say “I like apple” if you are talking about the fruit pulp, its texture or its taste; i.e. when the apple is cut, the apples are eaten and how does it taste? When it is uncountable? How can I work out how to add it? The median proportions of food types selected
are shown in Figure 1 where it can be seen that both species tended to prefer banana and avocado to the other foods offered. (source)

And when we talk about dishes, in this case dessert, the singular is used.
