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.
The only foods outside of a Buddhist's diet would be alcoholic drinks, and food prepared from animals slaughtered specifically at the request of the Buddhist.
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.
