Hi
Could you please explain to me the use of washed down in this sentence?
Lunch consisted of pizza washed down with a glass of whisky.
Thanks,
Tom

Lunch consisted of pizz a { that was washed down with a glass of whisky ). The underlying idea is that when you drink while you have food in your mouth, the liquid helps the food to go down your throat. Whiskey is not usually drunk for this purpose, so it's a rather jocular sentence.
