meat fiesta a large and delicious meal full of meat Explanation: I am assuming that the question term is actually "meaty feast", as in the text quoted, and I shall ignore "meat fiesta", an odd phrase which is unlikely to be used in advertising. "Meaty feast" means a large and delicious meal full of meat. "Feast" can certainly imply a celebration, a party (like fiesta), but basically it is a rich, delicious meal, and the word is used metaphorically for a delightful experience. This is the relevant meaning in the context of a cat food. "Meaty" means that it contains a lot of meat. The word also has connotations of strength and substance. Moreover, "meaty feast" has assonance: the two vowel sounds are the same, which makes it more effective as an advertising phrase. |
