Explanation:

1. "Fingers" are countable, so "many" fits "as many...as".
2. The structure "as many...as" requires the second "as".
3. "Meat" is uncountable, so "much" fits "as much...as".
4. "Bread" is uncountable, matching the uncountable context of "meat".
5. "As many...as" is for countable nouns (things we can count).
6. "As much...as" is for uncountable nouns (things we cannot count).
7. The sentence explains the meaning of the structures, so "means" is correct.
