It seems like that there's no strict distinction between countable and uncountable nouns sometimes and they can be used interchangeably depending on the speaker's intention.
e.g.) a food <--> food, a game <--> game, etc. basically meaning the same thing but different only in terms of how abstractly the speaker treats the word in question in a specific context

I know it sounds abstract without a specific context, but for now I just want to get a sense of the way the distinction between them is perceived by native speakers.
Any comments please.
Thanks in advance!
