I have been taking Tamoxifen for over 8 years now and I was never told to avoid any particular foods. Ask your doctor if you are worried.
In general I avoid soy products as there is some controversy about whether they are safe or not. Otherwise I eat everything I like. Even grapefruit once or twice a month as I was not told to avoid it.
So far so good for me, 9 1/2 years after my diagnosis. I hope all goes well for you too.
