eat like a pig
Stuff one's face
To eat like a pig is to eat messily, greedily, or in large quantities—or all three.
The comparison evokes pigs rooting in slop with no concern for table manners: He ate like a pig, getting sauce all over his face.
Sometimes the emphasis is purely on volume rather than messiness: I've been eating like a pig all vacation.
