It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and there was food before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Son! Come near, mention the name of Allah (that is, say Bismillah), eat with your right hand, and eat from what is in front of you."
