People who speak English, or people from England? Either way, many people pray before meals, but many don't. Sometimes they will say "Enjoy your meal," or "Yummy! Pot Roast!" or "Please pass the butter." ____ If the person is a Jehovah's Witness, they give thanks before a meal and they can be of any nationality ___ Sadly English people rarely say a grace before meals these days. Usually a grace is only said before formal meals, say at an important formal dinner or at a college or university meal. When I was in school in the 1960's it was the rule to say a grace before our midday meal. the one I vaguely remember was something like "Almighty and most merciful God bless this food to our use and our lives to Thy purpose. Amen"
