Gobble

/ˈɡɑːbəl/ verb

To eat food quickly and noisily, often without chewing properly, or to make the loud throat sound that turkeys make.

The word originated in the 16th century, likely from an imitative origin mimicking the sound a turkey makes (gobble-gobble). It may be connected to the verb 'gob' meaning to eat hastily.
