AFAIK never used by Okrand in a sentence.
KGT 100: Indeed, if one eats too neatly or if one does not eat with gusto, it will probably be assumed that one is not enjoying the food. (The verb {noS} ["eat in small mouthfuls, nibble"], unless applied to small animals or very young children, is always used derogatorily.
PUN:
Yiddish *nosh* (to snack, eat between meals, nibble at tidbits)
