Thank You for the Food in Japanese

Today I thought after finishing my lunch that saying “Thank you for the food” in Japanese can actually be a bit confusing. Especially if you have just started to learn Japanese since there are two different phrases. You have probably heard “Itadakimasu” and “Gochisousama deshita” before from anime like Naruto, but which one should you say before eating and which one after the meal? “Itadakimasu” (頂きます) is the phrase Japanese people usually say before eating. It means “Thank you for the food” but literally translates as “I humbly receive this meal”. “Gochisousama deshita” (御馳走様でした) and “Gochisou sama” (御馳走様) also mean “Thank you for the meal/feast” but are said after eating.
