Did your family pray before eating? Mine only did it on some holidays and when guests were over for a meal. I always took it as one of those things we did for the benefit of others; keeping up appearances.

I agree with Shane about it being for keeping up appearances. It don’t see how it is really necessary to pray before every meal.
