Thanks!I used "lumps of ice" in this sentence: "Not only is the meat broth both a bit sour and sweet, but it is also really cool because it has lumps of ice." I'm talking about a food.Just like this: http://blogfiles.naver.net/20160219_211/ef140_1455865300223WdJNY_JPEG/%B9%B0%B3%C3%B8%E9.jpg

Chunks of ice sounds better. Lumps sounds a bit weird.

We say "chunks of ice,"

I would say "ice cubes".

I see. Thank you so much!

Chunks of ice is the way we say it in the USA. You can use lumps as in "lumps of clay."
