'greedily consume' is the definition.
'engorge' can be an answer for 'consume' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'greedily' bit.

'egg nero scrambled' is the wordplay.
'scrambled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'egg'+'nero'='eggnero'
'eggnero' with letters rearranged gives 'ENGORGE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for engorge that I've seen before include "Get stuffed" , "Guzzle" , "Cause to swell with fluid" , "Eat immodestly" , "Swell with blood, water, etc" .)
