scoff down
Gobble up quickly
To scoff down is to eat quickly and eagerly, often with little regard for manners: He scoffed down three slices of pizza before anyone else finished one.
The phrase emphasizes speed and enthusiasm, suggesting someone devouring food rather than savoring it.
More common in British and Australian English than American.
