Both are correct grammar. But I can't think of a context in which take would make much sense. Clive

In British English, not many people eat ice. We may eat an ice cream or an ice, but not ice.

We may eat an ice.

Since 'ice' is uncountable, shouldn't it be "We eat a piece of ice."

Thanks, fivejedjon.

What I am referring to are cubes of ice. Where I live, some of us like to put a cube of ice in the month and let it melt, or even crush in to pieces with our teeth and let the ice melt faster. The purpose is to quench our thirst.

So what word should I use? Eat? If not, what word is needed?
