The different comments here illustrate that there are many likenesses between our seemingly different cultures.👍

Player #3549353, Orthodox and members of other Jewish movements as well, it's called Birkat (a varient of "blessings", usually translated as [to say] "grace") and HaMazon ("after meal/eating"). It's often chanted or sung by a family or by a group/congregation after eating. When chanted in full, it can take quite a few minutes, but it's a wonderful way to connect and enjoy each other's company.

ChampionNymph37634, yes “Thank You” is good every time and especially another word is “Please”. It is a sad time we are living in and I hate myself for sounding pessimistic (I am normally optimistic) but we have seen our better days. What the world needs now is Love Sweet Love. Peace Love and Joy. Humor me I am an only child and I am going through hard times, please don’t criticize me, say a prayer my loved ones and I.

PensivePhoenix21, just hold on a minute. I believe in God. There's nothing wrong with being a Christian. I'm not a Bible banger.

much better than thanking "God" for the meal you're about to receive! you're respecting the nature, the animals and the people who provided the meal instead - much nicer sentiment!

when you enter a japanese restaurant, the waiters and staff say: "Ishirisaimasen." I don't know what that means, but I just nod at them and smile. I surmise it would mean "welcome and enjoy the meal that you are about to have."
Holly Rose
I like the idea of giving thanks after a meal, as well.
