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>

Well, I think, the main point that makes the difference between "Mending Wall" and   “The Purple Cow”  is actually demonstrated by the rhyme. Just read each poem one more time and feel that one of them is readed easily, words matched with each other like a song's lyrics so that you can smoothly go on reading whereas  "Mending Wall" is made with structure of blank verse that emphasises every line and makes reader feel it deeply.
