There isn't one answer to this question, many Buddhists abstain from meat and alcohol, however some ordained Buddhists will eat whatever is presented to them. It really depends on the individual person and the spiritual/cultural context in which they live.

Is there any particular food that Buddhism can't eat?

Strictly speaking, no. However, many Buddhists, especially Mahayana Buddhists, give up eating meat as a manifestation of their compassion.The Fifth Precept forbids the consumption of alcohol. In this spirit, most practicing Buddhists abstain from drugs as well.Some Mahayana Buddhists also abstain from strong foods such as onions, leeks and garlic, believing that they may inflame the spirit.Some Buddhists, even if they are not vegetarian, avoid meat from carnivores (including birds of prey), believing that they may transfer their blood lust to the eater, although this is not found in the Tripitika.


What food restrictions are followed by Buddhists?

Buddhism has no rules so Buddhists may eat any food. Monks would be likely to eat less meat but will eat anything offered to them.

What is Buddhists's diet?

Answer Vegan (almost everything but meat) Answer:There are no dietary rules on Buddhists. There are things you should avoid (not must avoid) which include drugs, alcohol and meat killed especially for your consumption. The problems with diet occur mainly with your reasons for eating, not what you eat. Having lots of good simple food, but refusing it because you have a yen for steak and apple pie, is falling victim to lust or desire (wants beyond your physical needs). Desire, as we know from the Four Noble Truths is the cause of suffering.
