Gradually, though, the Foster message is getting through.  Each player
has a specific training routine, and meals are carefully monitored.
Muesli and fruit for breakfast--at least until the coach is absent,

Independent [London], June 5, 1991, p 30

We ate two meals at the Castle, a full monte [sic] evening meal and a
pounds 14.50 three-course Sunday lunch.  Both were first class, and the
cheaper meal didn't suffer in comparison with the dinner.  John
Lanchester, "Eating Out," The Observer [London], May 29, 1994, p 45
