I was sitting next to a Christain family who said grace in the food court today and I was thinking how rare it is to see a family say grace.


Muslims say Bismillah (roughly - in the name of Allah) before eating and Alhamdulillah (thanks to Allah) after eating.
At one school I went to we sang grace (in Latin) before each meal (I kid you not!!).


Do you say grace or some other form of thanksgiving before you eat? Is it a private moment or does one member of your family lead you?
