Generous portion of grub I got (3)
I believe the answer is:
big
'generous' is the definition.
('big' can be similar in meaning to 'generous')
'portion of grub i got' is the wordplay.
'portion of' indicates a hidden word.
'BIG' is hidden within 'grub i got'.
(Other definitions for big that I've seen before include "Large; generous" , "Circus tent" , "Sizeable" , "London bell" , "oversized" .)
