Definition of graze
graze 
verb
- to eat. Usually used to refer to food laid out "buffet" style, as at a party. Thus a partier, instead of eating what is directly in front of them, will move around eating from different places, much like a cow. (It's usually bad form to "graze" at a restaurant buffet: one is supposed to fill a dish and then eat at one's table.)
Cool, a buffet table, let's go graze!
