In this All Ears English podcast episode, Lindsay and Michelle explore various English phrases and expressions used to initiate a meal in social settings. They discuss the absence of a direct English equivalent to phrases like "bon appétit" and offer alternatives such as "shall we," "chow down," "let's eat," and "enjoy." The hosts emphasize the importance of considering the context and relationship with dining companions when choosing a phrase. They further highlight the cultural nuances surrounding food commentary and ordering, providing a role-play scenario to illustrate natural usage. The episode also encourages listeners to review the podcast and promotes the All Ears English C1 Fluency course for advanced English learners.
