What is the term for the set of blessings recited before and after consumption of food?

The term for the set of blessings recited before and after consumption of food is "Brachot." This term encompasses all blessings that one recites in various contexts, particularly before and after eating. Specifically, it includes the blessings said to acknowledge and express gratitude to God for providing sustenance.

Kiddush refers specifically to the sanctification of Shabbat and holidays, which involves a blessing recited over a cup of wine, and does not encompass all food blessings. Birkat Hamazon, on the other hand, is the specific blessing of gratitude recited after eating a meal, particularly one that includes bread, but it does not include the pre-meal blessings. Shir Hashirim is a biblical book also known as the Song of Songs and has no relation to the blessings associated with food consumption. Thus, "Brachot" is the most encompassing and appropriate term for the blessings recited in these contexts.
