Many Buddhists prefer a vegetarian diet. However the "rules" are not absolute. In countries such as Tibet the scarcity of food in general makes meat eating necessary. In addition Buddhists will eat any food given to them as a donation or offering. This includes meat.
Buddhist's specifically avoid eating intoxicants and drugs that may interfere with there concentration, garlic and onions because they supposedly inflame the passions, meat from carnivores and Birds of Prey, andanimals which would have to be killed specifically for their consumption.
In preparing food for anyone it is best to check for Allergies or preferences before organizing the meal. This is as true for Buddhists as any other guests you may have.
Many people think Buddhists eat only plain rice or hold to a strictly vegetarian diet (with no exceptions). In truth Buddhists are inclined to a vegetarian diet as eating meat implies that animals have suffered. This does not hold true in all cases. HH the Dalai Lama only came to a strictly vegetarian diet later in life as, in Tibet (his homeland), the opportunity for pursuing such a diet is limited.
It is a point of propriety that Buddhists will eat whatever food is given to them in good faith - as is demonstrated by the story that the Buddha himself died of eating tainted meat given to him for a meal.
