I was trying to find ways to say "enjoy your lunch" and I thought maybe something like this:
zhù nǐ wǔfàn kuàilè
祝你午饭快乐
have a happy lunch
Is there a better way of expressing such sentiment? Do people in China say such things? I know you can substitute wǔcān (午餐) for wǔfàn (午饭).
enjoy your lunch

Robert 你好!
To be honest we don't really have that expression in Chinese but we do have an expression which is:
mànmàn chī
慢慢吃
Literally, it translates as "eat slowly" but I guess you could translate it into something more like "take your time (to enjoy your food)"
I hope this helps and keep up the good work!

Thank you for answering that. You confirmed a hunch that I had in that Chinese people don't tend to say things like have a happy lunch. We, in the US, are always wishing people to be happy. I think Chinese people are much more practical, like eat slowly.
