How are they different?

0Hi,02br
02br
00I was looking at some recipes for several internatioal dishes and found that they used nouns like tomato and mushroom.02br
02br
01i00What are those on your dishes? 02i02br
02br
01i00Enchiladas?02i02br
02br
01i00What is in them?02i02br
02br
01i00... a little cheese, 01u00a few tomatoes02u00 ...02i02br
02br
00I think I have asked a question in this line of inquiry and some people said that if you say 'I want a tomato in a dish', it means you want 'a whole tomato', and you won't get slices of a tomato.02br
02br
00OK, does that mean I will get whole tomatoes (which are uncut) in my Enchiladas? 0-

0 Normally 'counted' tomatos will be whole ones but you have to use common sense too, they will be probably be chopped up/sliced here. The number is mentioned to give you a rough idea of how much tomato will be included. 0-
