It used to irritate me in church circles in my younger days to hear men thanking God for the food, but not thanking the ladies who had prepared it.
I think some of the clergy of my acquaintance would have said something along the lines of "bless this food to our use and the hands that have prepared it", which would cover that base.

Went out for a meal with a wren
“Dear Lord” said the goose
“Bless this food for our use
And us to thy service, Amen”
