THIS IS WHAT THE WORD SAYS CONCERNING MEAT AND DRINKS
What goes into the belly of a man does not condemn him, it's what proceeds out of his mouth (coming from his heart: usually expressed through his actions) that defiles him. For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Meat (or no meat ) neither draw us closer nor farther from The Lord: The state of your heart does.
However, it can be a personal decision not to eat a certain meat ( just like a fast); and for the sake of your brother's conscience.
{Scriptures are attached below}

1CORINTHIANS8:8
"8:But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse."

MARK7:18-23
"18: (Jesus was speaking to the disciples ) :And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19:Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20:And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man
21:For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22:Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23:All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."

1CORINTHIANS8:13
"13:Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend"

ROMANS14:17-20
"17:For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost
18:For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19:Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
20:For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence."

COLOSSIANS 2:16
"16:Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:"

In order words, people can eat food served to idols but not to the offence of the brethren?

I get the message though.

Thanks

Yes, according to the scriptures: the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. So, if a man goes to buy meat @ the butchers( shambles) let him ask no questions, the same applies to a feast.
But let him never eat it as a worship to the idol ( the state of one's heart is very important)
