The specialty at the ostensibly Spanish bistro of this old pub is chicken schnitzel, done in a myriad of ways: parma, Mexican, Mediterranean, cheesey, Hawaiian, and so forth. These all have one common aspect: they don't fit on the plate. Literally. Not even close.

Sometimes, you need a gimmick, a theme - in literary terms, a conceit. This is the way you translate that metaphysical essence of something which is too subtle or delicate for mere adjectives. At other times though, frank description is best.

When attempting to convey the size of the meals at the White Cockatoo, blunt words will do: huge, ridiculous, laughable. You're basically eating dinosaur schnitties. Some things are just too awe-inspiring to be clever about.
