I would imagine that fish and lamb were potential staples of his diet.

Thanks for the welcome
No imaginations please.
How do we speculate about the dietary habits of a figure who might not have actually existed without an imagination?
The scriptures are clear Jesus Christ had an omnivorous Hebrew diet including at least fish in the wedding feast.

Just wait and watch. I am sure you will get many people coming up here with the proofs
I would say based on what I remember reading in the Bible that he was a pescatarian.

By scriptures you mean Holy Bible ?

I would love to see the screen shot of that paraphrase if you can arrange one ?
It's interesting that you are looking for a paraphrase based on what I wrote.
I am thinking back to where the Bible mentions Jesus eating. I don't recall any mention of him eating mammals or poultry, but I do recall reading about him eating fish.
Luke 24:41-43

So now my question becomes..
Did Jesus Christ ever had any problem partaking in a Vegetarian or a non Vegetarian ceremony ?

Valentinus says Jesus ate in a special way. Taking in only what he needed to exist physically, not even enough to poop.
He was continent, enduring all things. Jesus digested divinity; he ate and drank in a special way, without excreting his solids. He had such a great capacity for continence that the nourishment within him was not corrupted, for he did not experience corruption.- Valentinus
FWIW.

He said, "unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the son of man, you have no life in you".
That doesn't sound like the words of a vegetarian. Sounds like cannabalism. And that's okay!
That is okay.
But, veg or non-veg ?

This is silly. He was a Jew and would have eaten the Jewish diet of the time. There would have been no "vegetarian ceremonies" for him to encounter. The gospels mention him eating fish. There was at least one annual non-vegetarian ceremony he would have taken part in: the Passover.

I can only "believe" he ate what was offered him.Meat? Possibly. Since he said:
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.- Matthew 15
It takes food out of the equation, which was a "Jewish" law, not a Christian one.
