I was a young boy in the house of the Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم

'Umar ibn Abee Salamah said: "I was a young boy in the house of the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه و سلم and my hand (while I was eating) was taking food from every place on the plate. So, the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه و سلم said to me, 'Oh young man! Say bismillah, and eat with your right hand, and eat from what is close to you.' I have always eaten as he told me since then.' [Saheeh Muslim & Saheeh Bukhari]
