A Zen diet?

Master Kosen – Published on April 4 – daily-life

Question

Is there a specific way of eating in Buddhism? Is there a
website that explains meals from breakfast to bedtime for an
entire
week? I would like to eat and drink properly, but I haven’t
found anything about it online. Could you point me in the right direction? Thank you.

Answer from Master Kosen

It is better to be vegetarian or to eat simply, the sutras say, but they
also say: The monk’s mouth is like an oven.
