chomped
Ate with noise
Chomped is the past tense of chomp, meaning to bite down on something with force or enthusiasm.
The word suggests vigorous, sometimes noisy chewing: The horse chomped on an apple.
She chomped through her sandwich in minutes.
To chomp at the bit is to be impatient to act, from the image of a restless horse gnawing its bridle.
