hearty fare
Stick-to-ribs meal
Hearty fare is substantial, filling food—the kind that satisfies hunger and warms you up.
The phrase evokes rustic cooking: stews, roasts, thick soups, bread.
The inn was known for its hearty fare and cold ale.
It suggests abundance and unpretentious nourishment rather than refined cuisine.
