Sorry. You guessed it. I meant fressen.

A person eats with "essen".
An animal eats with "fressen".
If you use "fressen" for a person, you are implying that he/she eats like an animal.

Never. The word frissen doesn't exist.
If you mean fressen, we use it when an animal eats or a person eats very fast and much.
No other ideas what you could have meant...

When I wanted to be rude about a person's guzzling habits or when I was describing an animal eating its feed/swill or chewing the pasture.

drshorty is right. Maybe you heard or read the 2nd or 3rd person singular ion the present tense? That would be "du frisst" and "er/sie/es frisst" respectively.

Besides essen/fressen for eating, there is also trinken/saufen for drinking.

Fressen with animals, essen with people. :-) Don´t exchange it, might be embarrasing!
