Suppose that my friend and I are reading the sandwich menu. Our short conversation is given below.
(ex) I say, "There is a large selection of sandwiches served here. Which one would you like?"
He answers, "I want to get chicken."
I ask, "Do you think the chicken is a big piece or in small chunks?"
He says, "I am not sure. We can ask a waiter about that."
This is my question.
Do you say: the chicken is a big piece or the chicken is in a big piece in this context?
Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it.
