Explanation:
Hi,

Whoever told you that it has more meanings that "bon appetit" that my dear colleage suggested was wrong. The only way it could mean anything other than "bon appetit" is if it was used in a very colloquial and suggestive way and in that sense it might mean have a good time but personally I just think they were wrong in what they told you.

Trust us, we are native speakers of the language afterall; we should know :)

Merry Xmas and a happy new year!
