"عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأكُل الطَّعَامَ فِي سِتَّة رَهْطٍ إِذْ دَخَلَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَأَكَلَ مَا بَيْنَ أيديهم بِلُقْمَتَيْن فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : لَوْ كَانَ ذكَرَ اسْمَ اللهِ لَكَفَاهُم، فَإِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ طَعَامًا فَلْيَذكُر الله - تَعَالَى- فَإِنْ نَسى ثُم ذكَرَ فَلْيَقُلْ: بِسْم الله أَوَّله وآخره".

Collected by Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Dārimī, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Bayhaqī“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was eating food with six of his Companions when a Bedouin came and ate it all in two bites. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘If he had said Bismillah, it would have sufficed you (all). When any one of you eats food, let him say Bismillah, and if he forgets to say Bismillah at the beginning, let him say Bismillah fi awwalihi wa akhirih (In the Name of Allah at the beginning and at the end).’”

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to eat in his house when a hungry Bedouin came and he fed him with two morsels of food. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If he had mentioned the name of Allah, it would have been sufficient for you all. So, when any one of you eats, let him mention the name of Allah. If he forgets to mention the name of Allah in the beginning, let him say, 'In the name of Allah' in the beginning and at the end."
