The AV also has "food" in Act 14:17; Jam 2:15.

Food:

"eating, the act of eating" (akin to bibrosko, "to eat") is translated "food" in 2Cr 9:10.

a measured "portion of food" (sitos, "corn," metreo, "to measure"), is used in Luk 12:42, RV.

akin to No. 3, frequently translated "meat," and always so in the AV except in Mat 14:15, "victuals," is rendered "food" in the RV in Mat 14:15; Luk 3:11; 9:13.
