piggishly
In hoggish fashion
Piggishly describes doing something in the manner of a pig—greedily, messily, or with selfish disregard for others.
It most often characterizes eating habits marked by excessive consumption or poor table manners: He piggishly devoured the entire pizza before anyone else could grab a slice.
The word can extend beyond food to describe any behavior showing gluttonous self-interest or a lack of consideration for sharing.
