עוֹד לֹא אָכַלְנוּ
עוֹד לֹא שָׁתִינוּ
יָבֵשׁ לָנוּ בַּגָּרוֹן
הָבוּ לָנוּ מַשְׁקֶה
מִיט אַ בִּיסֶל קאַשקע
אָז נשירה וְנָרֹן
עוֹד לֹא אָכַלְנוּ
עוֹד לֹא שָׁתִינוּ
יָבֵשׁ לָנוּ בַּגָּרוֹן
מוּכָנִים כְּבָר אָנוּ
לֶאֱכוֹל כּוּלָנוּ
וְנׁאמָר בְּתֵיאָבוֹן

To commemorate this, Shabbat meals are based on two loaves of bread.
Halachot are Jewish Laws determined by "the rabbis".
I did not know that the mana was flaky or that it could melt
My family tradition is to buy one challah.

But I can also understand that blessing is just thanking and not all "thank you"s have to be aimed at god. People make things, too.
Ruby says, I agree that it does not have to have Gods name because
Blessing for favorite food (Vietnamese Phô):
Thanks to all the people who prepared this food, who made the ingredients, and those who have ever seen, touched or helped it in any way to get to me.
