What do Buddhists eat on special occasions?

Answer 1

There are not really special foods in Buddhism. Many Buddhists chose to be vegetarian though, as animals need to be killed for meat, and killing of animals falls under the same category of killing of humans. In some traditions, several foods are advised not to be taken on special days or during special occasions, these are the so-called black foods, usually listed as: garlic, onions, meat, fish and eggs.

Answer 2

As far as I know there is no traditional food for Buddhists. Buddhism started out in the North-East part of India and has now spread to Sri Lanka, Nepal, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, China, Japan and now it's spreading in the West. Since it was started 2500 or so years ago, and has spread to many different regions with different cultures, I'm not too sure that there's a traditional food for the religion. There's no reference to types of food in the religion itself, although killing of any kind is prohibited and loving-kindness towards all beings is promoted

Answer 3

Food. No, seriously. Oh, you mean which "special" things do Buddhists eat on "those" occasions? Food.
