Sometimes, we prefer to have more of this and less of that, say, when we are choosing our dishes. We may make requests such as 'Can I have more sauce with that chicken please or I'd like to have more garnishing [or should it be garnish?] please'
I was tongue-tied this morning because I was not able to think of some good expressions to describe the fact that I prefer more 'solid stuff' in the soup. What's the word to refer to all the solid stuff? Filling? If I just want more liquid, I can say more soup please but what about the veggies, meat, pastas etc in, say, a Borscht/minestrone soup? Thanks a lot
