Birkat Ha-Mazon for Heilicher בריך רחמנא

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

עברית

I learned other ways to do the same prayer but it still doesn't mean anything to me because I do עוד לא אכלנו and בריך רחה מנא at camp and I have done the birkat almost every day of my life for 9 years.

עברית

I am so hungry
There’s no good food on the plane
30 hour trip

A time we were really hungry

Isa was watching Youtube in her bed
She was starving because she hadn't been fed
She tried to get up to eat
But she fell back asleep
And she was then presumed dead

We don't get challah every week, we get it sometimes and it is always from a different place, sometimes we have challah french toast sunday morning.

א"ר אבא ובשבת חייב אדם לבצוע על שתי ככרות מ"ט (שמות טז, כב) לחם משנה כתיב

In connection to the various halakhot with regard to breaking bread, especially on Festivals, the Gemara cites another halakha. Rabbi Abba said: And on Shabbat one is obligated to break bread for the meal over two loaves. What is the reason? Because in the Torah portion that discusses gathering manna on Friday for Shabbat, the phrase: “Twice as much bread” (Exodus 16:22) is written. To commemorate this, Shabbat meals are based on two loaves of bread.

Halachot are Jewish Laws determined by "the rabbis".

For a fascinating read about the rabbis' attitudes about food, why two loaves, and which foods should not be eaten because they will give you bad breath, or even worse, intestinal troubles, go to the source above by clicking on the underlined heading, and read through for a while. You won't be disappointed. Add quotes that you find interesting or intriguing here:

בנימין רעיא כרך ריפתא ואמר בריך מריה דהאי פיתא אמר רב יצא והאמר רב כל ברכה שאין בה הזכרת השם אינה ברכה דאמר בריך רחמנא מריה דהאי פיתא
Regarding blessings that do not conform to the formula instituted by the Sages, the Gemara relates that Binyamin the shepherd ate bread and afterward recited in Aramaic: Blessed is the Master of this bread. Rav said, he thereby fulfilled his obligation to recite a blessing. The Gemara objects: But didn’t Rav himself say: Any blessing that does not contain mention of God’s name is not considered a blessing? The Gemara emends the formula of his blessing. He said: Blessed is the All-Merciful, Master of this bread.

It counts if it is from your heart, if you mean it, it doesn't need to have god's name in it because, As long as you mean it and you are really thankful, then it's okay.

Haya agrees with this comment because I really do think that as long as you mean it and you're truly thankful you don't have to mention G-d's name.

Heidi agrees with Haya and Lauren because she also thinks that you don't have to say G-D while praying because a blessing is from the heart.
