I don't think there's a specific term for non-salad, non-dessert food.
I can think of a few terms that would work though: proper, real, filling ...

Thank you for your reply.

I knew this word because I watched a short clip English programme about eating in a restaurant.

Maybe my example was not good. Salad and dessert are just examples, and can not fulfil one's hunger rapidly and directly. Therefore, who suggests to eat meat or noodles, rice, etc.

'I'm too hungry for salad. I want something more substantial.'

As I remember the adjective is about the type of food, not the amount of food.

"Substantial" doesn't necessarily describe the amount of food, but the type.
=> Meat is more substantial than salad, because it has more calories than salad and therefore is more satiable.

Thanks, I think "Substantial" is the word I forgot.


Thank you very much!
