conundrum

My point isn't whether or not these words are nouns or adjectives. In the
case of the factory the type of food it produces is being used as an
adjectival noun. But without the word "factory" after "confectionery" it
sounds like "we built a confectionery" (whatever that is) and also "we built
a pasta factory".
