Hello!<br/><br/>Could you help me, please, understand the meaning of one idiomatic expression from the book "To Kill A Mocking Bird"?<br/><br/>This is the sentence (chapter 16):<br/><br/>Everybody's appetite was delicate this morning, except Jem's: he ate his way through three eggs.<br/><br/>What is the meaning of the expression: to eat one's way through?<br/><br/>Thank you!
