In finland we doesnt really say anythin before we eat =P
"Kiitos ruoasta."
Although it's not that common to thank family members or
your friends.

We have say Lai Cha Lo meaning "Come, Let's Eat" in Taiwanese to our elders and wait for them to start eating before we can eat.
As for with friends, well, let's just say "You Snooze You Lose"

If I may butt in wouldn't "hyvää ruokahalua" be pretty near to "Itadakimasu"?

english doesn't really have an equivelant. if we did say something it would be "bon appetite" ;)
