Answer:

rapid eating

Explanation:

The word devour means consuming and absorbing something rapidly, usually without leaving no trace. It can be used for demolishing and destroying, for a force wiping something out.

Here it is used with its second meaning which is<em> </em><u>rapid eating</u>. <u><em>Devouring </em></u>something also means <u>eating it hungrily or quickly, feeding wholeheartedly on it</u>. In this passage, it is meant tha<u>t someone was so hungry that they ate every single piece of food that could be found in the fridge. </u>
