Minor point of contention, the vows that monks take in Chinese Buddhist traditions (and in other places like Vietnam) do mandate vegetarianism at the least, with some also mandating abstinence from dairy. It's part of the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya. The Buddha didn't mandate this himself for practical reasons, like the very real likelihood of turning off potential followers, but did advocate for it. It's also not clear if he died eating pork or something like "porks delight", meaning mushrooms.
EDIT: His cousin was also based. Except for the time he tried to drop a boulder on the Buddha. But all the others times.

If you meet the Buddha on the road, drop a boulder on him.
