I would suspect that most do. Our pray is not like that of Abrahamic religions in which someone would thank god for their meal. Our prays are more dedicated to us remembering that our meals were brought about due to much hard work and suffering and so we should be grateful to these people and be aware and help them overcome suffering. So, for example, my pray before a meal is:
"This meal, which sustains me, was brought about due to the suffering of many sentient beings and represents the whole universe on my plate." And when I am finished I say the pray: "my plate is now empty, my hunger is satisfied; I will live for the benefit of all sentient beings."

∙ 7y agoUsing a loaded word like pray makes the answer to this question difficult. As Buddhists do not have a deity who grants favours, curries respect and fear, or appreciates obedience there is no one to pray to. It should be pointed out that many Christians do not pray before eating - some do and some don't. Many "pray before you eat Christians" will report being mocked by other Christians who don't follow this practice.Buddhists may consider the work and kindness of those who provided or prepared the food. They may consider if the food quantity is reasonable to their needs. None of this would count to a Christian as prayer.
