A Jew is to have bread with every meal, if he can afford it, and to begin the meal

by reciting a blessing in gratitude to the one who makes it possible for him to have

the bread.

Whatever the eating habits of the Jew may be, the three Sabbath meals should be

the best, even if they can only be slightly better than the others. Wine is a most

appropriate embellishment for a Sabbath meal, and in fact the Sabbath dinner and

lunch ideally should both begin with blessings over wine, in gratitude to the one who

makes it possible for the Jew to have the wine.

When you have the sabbath meal what does the father say before it?

The head of the household says the kiddush blessing the sabbath (and similar prayers are said on Jewish holidays as well). These prayers essentially explain the background for the holiness of the day, and also include a blessing for the food which is about to be consumed. At every meal a (generally silent) prayer is said thanking G-d for supplying the food. Separate prayers are said before eating bread, other foodstuffs, fruit and wine. On Sabbath and holidays, the head of the household says the prayer over wine or bread symbolically to indicate the entire meal, and the appropriate prayers are repeated silently by all the other participants. Note that in Non-Orthodox households, there is no gender requirement for who says what blessing. Furthermore, in Orthodox households with only one gender (a widow with daughters, for example) there is also no gender requirements for who says what blessing.
