When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"Meat fiesta" or "meaty feast"? Or both? You have written the first in the heading, but only the second appears in the text you posted. They don't mean the same thing at all!
Catharine Cellier-Smart Apr 16, 2013:
What's your question exactly? Is "meat fiesta" the name of the product and the rest is the description?

meat party/feast

fiesta means party (from the Spanish), so it is a bit of a joke - give your cat this food and it will be so happy it will have a party...

a large and delicious meal full of meat

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.

agree B D Finch : "Meat fiesta" had conjured up visions of pussy cats dancing flamenco and clicking castenets with their claws.

It could make an entertaining TV ad, I suppose. Thanks!
