"Saying grace" is an American colloquialism for praying over a meal.

"God we thank you for" blah blah blah personalized stuff or just a general form prayer, whatever.

They say grace. As in a short prayer thanking God for the food He provided.

I have seen it happen literally hundreds of times.

I have friends who did it over every meal throughout their entire childhood.

I'm pretty sure my grandparents did it over every meal they ever ate.

You are overwhelmingly wrong.

Uh, lots of people do this. I have personally known many families to say grace before every meal, including my girlfriend's parents.

But I don't think that fits this thread because it isn't a simple saying.

My boomer grandparents insist on it being done at least at gatherings, or when they're babysitting, etc. From what I saw when I lived with them for a while, they usually don't do it when it's just them (but if you ever were to ask them, they sure as hell would tell you they do).

I don't know anyone from younger generations, even those of the Christian faith, who actually do this when no older person is influencing it.

in some countries it's normal to wish ppl something like a "good appetite" if you're eating together, or if you're giving someone their food because it's your job

i imagine itadakimasu is the same though some anime characters seem to say it to themselves for some reason

Why would you say anything before eating? There's no point. It's just another ritual some people do, but it's not useful.

That's a struggle we have as well. We just don't say anything typically at "the family meal"

In Spanish we say "buen provecho," which is essentially the same thing as "bon apptit." It's used to express the wish that something (usually what's being eaten) is useful or convenient for someone's health or well-being.

It's somewhat common here in the Dominican Republic, I assume in other religious countries as well. My family does it only before Nochebuena's dinner (tradition similar to Thanksgiving), but some other families do it before every big meal, the first time I had to eat as a guest at someone else's house it caught me off guard lol.
