BONNE APPETIT in french 😀 😀

Actually it's

Bon appétit ¬¬ 😛

I don't say anything before I eat. But I give my parents a big thanks afterwards. =3

In my house before any meal cooked by my father, I make a point of using the phrase "What the heck is in this, anyway?"

In Korea, the head of the table says, "Bap mokjah", which means, "Let's eat".

Not really. Koreans don't really say anything. If they're religious they pray before they eat. Some people say "Jarmuke sumnida."

In Spanish we say "Vamos a comer" which translates to "lets eat".

Was ist mit "Hau mal rein"? 🙂

"Selamat makan"(indonesian) or "Bismillah" (arabic), I miss to hear that : 😢

Standard Grace for meals:

"Bless us Oh Lord for these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord, Amen."

Three whacks with a wooden spoon if you took a bite of your dinner before Grace was said.

It's psychosomatic. You need a lobotomy. I'll get a saw.

You gonna do somethin'? Or are you just gonna stand there and bleed?

Καλή 'Ορεξη!!!
kali oreksi!!! 😛

Well as previously stated, in Italian we have:

Buon Appetito = French Version, it is used commonly and regardless the meal (lunch/dinner)

Uncommon:
Buon Pranzo = (Have a)Good Lunch
Buona Cena = (Have a )Good Dinner

To a "buon appetito" its usual for the other ppl at the table to reply "Grazie, altrettanto" =~ "Thanks, same to you"

In my case i normally have meals alone or on different timetables from my family. But we use it on "grand occasions", mostly Christmas/ First Year/ Easter Day, when you have "official meals" alike the Thanksgiving Day for Americans.

Quote from aneste

"afiyet olsun" you know what i dont know the meaning of it since it is an old phrase and it doesn't really make that much sense either 🙄 but we just use it before and after eating

Yeah, the closest thing we got to "itadakimasu" is "afiyet olsun". It literally translates to something along the lines of "I hope it becomes health".

Though where I come from, we usually say this after the meal, and it's usually the person serving the meal uttering it to the people they fed (after previously being thanked).
This is Turkish by the way.

same country but we use afiyet olsun at different times!!! 😲 well there is no official use for that as far as i know...

ps: it is great to see another person from Turkey here, though now i feel weird by talking to you in English 😛

"Let's eat, bitch!"

Which is a perfect example of how NOT to say it.

"Shall we eat?" is more appropriate. 😃

Just because someone's head was chopped off doesn't mean they're dead. That's just silly.

Quote from Banaantje

In holland we say

==> ROFL

But yeah in the dutch part of Belgium we would say "eet smakelijk" or just "smakelijk" as well.
I in particular don't really say anything... I just sit down - eat - get up ^^

usually i don't say anything before eating but maybe sometimes some say "hyvää ruokahalua" different places different traditions.
