Bread

Postby Brahman » Mon Nov 02, 2009 9:32 pm

Cambridge Dictionary says that 'bread' (the food that is made from flour) is an uncountable noun. But when we refer to different kinds of bread products, or to bread that is sold by different companies, can we say 'breads' as in the following sentences?

1. "Sunshine Bakeries" and "Gradenia Foods" breads are suitable for vegetarians.

2. There are many breads on the market.

3. The supermarket sells many breads.
