neutral  Edward Tully: Carol, this is exactly why your answer is weak, you need to study the CONTEXT of your translation more - these synonyms are NOT interchangeable!

  -> Collins: abundante = abundant, plentiful; suculento = rich, tasty, or succulent/I rest my case: as I said before, a hearty meal is a substantial (abundante) one (in English), which you've ignored

neutral  Carol Gullidge: doesn't take into account "abundante"//I'm beginning to wonder if you're confusing "rich" with all the possible senses of "rico". Ie, rico (food) = delicious, but rich food ain't necessarily delicious/ QED: rico isn't in the questioner's term!
