noun
substantiality of a meal; fillingness
Refers to how satisfying or filling a meal is. Often used in the phrase 食べでのある (substantial, filling).

食べ応え also means 'substantial' or 'hearty' for food, but is more common and neutral. 食べで is slightly more colloquial and often used in the set phrase 食べでのある.
Compound of 食べ (stem of 食べる, 'to eat') + で (suffix indicating value or worth, as in やりで or 読みで). The suffix で derives from the nominalized form of the classical auxiliary verb つ, indicating degree or extent.
