Blot up is a slang phrase meaning to consume food or drink — to eat or drink something with enthusiasm or in quantity. The phrasing evokes the image of soaking something up completely, leaving nothing behind. It's casual and vivid, the sort of expression that makes eating sound like a full-body commitment. Used particularly in informal British contexts, it suggests not just eating but thoroughly dispatching whatever's on the plate.
He sat down and blot up every last bit of stew before anyone else had even found a seat.
