meaty

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'full' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'non-vegetarian substance' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'substance' could be 'meat' (meat is a kind of substance) and 'meat' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'y' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.
