Their table would be graced by pieces of aubergine the size of an index finger, fried and dusted with cumin.这里the size of...是作后置定语嘛?它不是个名词短语吗?
Their table would be graced by pieces of aubergine the size of an index finger, fried and dusted with cumin.
是的,网友判断正确。
划线部分是名词性词组,作 pieces of aubergine 的定语。等于说:
Their table would be graced by pieces of aubergine which are the size of an index finger, fried and dusted with cumin.
the size of...作定语举例:

这座英式亭阁是令人赞叹的钢和玻璃建筑,大小和威斯敏斯特教堂相当。
