gobble
Eat with abandon
To gobble is to eat greedily and quickly, swallowing food in large chunks: He gobbled down his lunch in five minutes.
Gobble also describes the throaty, rapid call of a turkey.
To gobble something up is to consume it eagerly or completely—food, resources, or attention: The project gobbled up our entire budget.
