Quoting bod: Would this be the correct sentence order:
Dostum yemekim için lütfen teşekkler ederim |
Why do you put both please and thank you together in the same sentence, it sounds weird.
Dostum, yemek için teşekkür ederim. I think it is what you want to mean. Man(?), thank you for the food.

You're rather thanking your mate or mistress for dinner now 
You'd better say aşkım I think.
And "yemek" becomes "yemeğ-i-" when a vowel follows.
Tatlı rüyalar Bod, you really deserve them. I bet you're dreaming in Turkish already as well

Estağfurullah, estağfurullah...
Akşam yemeği için çok teşekkür ederim, sevgilim.
Sevgilim, akşam yemeği için çok teşekkür ederim.
or instead of "akşam yemeği", just "yemek".
I didn't prefer making it as my dinner (akşam yemeğim) because then it sounds to me as you're a dog to be fed and you thank for your food :=)

Actually I am writing a huge report on a computing project at the moment so I am dreaming of that - but also dreaming of Türkçe and the two get very confused in my sleeping brain.......sometimes in quite disturbing ways 
So the correct sentence would be:
Aşim yemeğim için çok teşekkür ederim
Thank you very much my love for my dinner.

Quoting mltm: Sevgilim, akşam yemeği için çok teşekkür ederim.
or instead of "akşam yemeği", just "yemek". |
I assume the -i suffix because "akşam" is a descriptive noun used to describe the food (yemek) in much the same way as I got confused yesterday!.....see - I am learning slowly
If you just use "yemek" then is that not just food? Could that not be interpretted as anything from a snack upwards?

Yes, it's the same way with the topic you gave.
And, no it doesn't cause confusion, because "yemek" can mean food and also lunch (öğle yemeği) , dinner etc.
When it is obvious that which one you mean, "yemek" is used mostly. For example a typical mother calling the people to the dinner:
- Yemek hazırrrrrr! (Dinner is ready)
Since everyone knows that it's "akşam", akşam yemeği may even sound stupid.
Or just before the lunch time in a company, people ask eachothers if they are coming to "yemek" (Yemeğe geliyor musun?)
Breakfast is an exception, it's "kahvaltı" and "yemek" isn't used for it.
İyi çalışmalar Bod.
