nosher
Casual bite taker
A nosher is someone who noshes—snacks or eats, especially between meals or in small amounts.
The word carries a casual, affectionate tone: She's a notorious nosher who can't pass the kitchen without grabbing something.
From Yiddish, it suggests nibbling rather than serious eating.
