One should eat with the right hand
Hadith 399
62- مالك عن ابن شهاب عن أبى بكر بن عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عمر عن عبد الله بن عمر أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ”إذا أكل أحدكم فليأكل بيمينه وليشرب بيمينه، فإن الشيطان يأكل بشماله ويشرب بشماله.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any one of you eats, let him eat with his right hand, and (when he drinks) let him drink with his right hand, for indeed Satan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand."
