According to the prophet Isaiah, we should "call the Shabbat a day of delight" and as a reward, we will "delight in HaShem" in the world to come.
The rabbis of the Talmud determined that a major component of "delight" is meat and drink. There's no specification as to the type of meat, it could even be fish, or any 'high end' cooked foods. The reason for the minhag of eating meat is that it's assumed that most people take more pleasure in eating meat than other foods and in drinking wine more than other drinks. As a result, they should increase both meat and wine within their means.

What meat can't the Jews eat on the sabbath?
There is no prohibition against eating kosher meat during Shabbat. The reverse is true; it's expected that meat be eaten during the two main Shabbat meals. On Passover, Jews cannot eat leavened bread (whereas they can at other times of the year). Shabbat does not mirror this. The same kosher rules for the rest of the week apply on Shabbat. Jews cannot eat pork on any day of the week and conversely, Jews can eat tuna or kosher meat on any day of the week.
