meatiness

/mˈitinəs/ noun

The property of being meaty.

Word Origin From Old English 'mete' 'food' — originally, meat meant any kind of food, not just flesh. That's why we have sweetmeat (a sweet food) and mincemeat (minced food, often fruit). Meatiness is the quality of being meaty, substantial. The root *matiz gives us mate (as in shipmate, originally 'messmate', sharing food). So meatiness is about substance and nourishment.
