chomped

A chomp means to bite or crunch into something with force and energy.

Imagine you're eating an apple. You take a big bite, and your teeth sink into the crunchy flesh. That's a good example of a chomp! But a chomp can also happen when you eat food that's not so easy to chew, like a tough piece of meat or a raw carrot. When you try to take a bite, your teeth might have trouble breaking it down, and you end up chomping away with more force than usual.

The word "chomp" is most commonly used to describe the act of biting into something, but it can also be used as a verb in the present participle form ("chomping") to mean eating or munching on food quickly. For example: "I love chomping down on sandwiches at lunchtime!"
