There's a phrasal verb that I forgot again, I think it has similar meaning to "grab a bite"; if I got it right it means to prepare something casual, quick to eat, even kinda of like to snap up.

I remember vaguely there's an example sentence in Macmillan Dictionary that goes He came without calling so I XX an omelette for him, but I'm far from sure that this is the original sentence. Can someone help?

    Thanks for this hint, I then searched its synonyms and found the one I been looking for—throw together, anyway thank you so much for dropping “whip up” here

    Knock [something up] and knock up [something] (Lexico) may be only BrE.

    I often sling something together if I have not had time to plan a meal.

  • sling together and knock together may work but cooks will prefer whip up as it refers to cooking. (as in whipped cream). The others just sound like guys who can't cook. :)
