<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">give a meal to</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for feed that I've seen before include "Eat; pass (a ball) to another player" , "take grub" , "Provide food" , "Provide something to eat" , "Paid" .)
