A nosh-up is a big, satisfying meal — the kind where you sit down and really eat. It is informal British English, warm and a bit , not a word for a restaurant menu or a school essay. Nosh on its own can mean food, or a snack; a nosh-up is the larger, sit-down version, closer to a feast. You might hear “a proper nosh-up” after a long day, or about a birthday dinner. Americans hardly use it. In Taiwan you will almost never hear it in the street; it belongs to British chat and British writing that wants a tone.
大餐;大吃一頓(英式口語)
組成nosh (informal “food” or “eat”) + up, which here makes the eating big and complete, as in eat up. Nosh itself probably comes from Yiddish nashn, “to nibble”.
