Bon appétit is a familiar French expression meaning enjoy your meal, commonly said when food is served or before people begin eating together. As a short online clip, it has become a handy reaction sound for food videos, cooking content and playful messages between friends, because the phrase is widely recognised even by people who do not speak French. Its short length makes it easy to drop into edits, memes and chat replies, and it continues to be used wherever a meal, a recipe reveal or a dinner invitation needs a warm, instantly understood greeting.
