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. The Buddha taught of UPAYA KAUSALA (skillful means) which basically means that Buddhists should decide for themselves in accordance with the siuation, what to do e.g. in Tibet, where vegetables are hard to grow, monks happily eat meat.
