Answer

MUNCH

This word describes the act of chewing food vigorously and often audibly. It comes from the Middle English word mounchen, which was likely imitative of the sound made while chewing. The word is famously associated with the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, whose surname shares the same spelling, though his iconic painting The Scream depicts quite a different expression than someone enjoying a snack.

Strategy Tip
