How to use the food wheel
- Pick a meal with the buttons: dinner, breakfast, lunch, snack, dessert or fast food.
- Press Spin, tap the wheel, or press the space bar.
- Eat what it says, or spin again if your stomach says no.
Make it your own
The lists are ideas to start from. Replace them with the dishes you actually cook, your family's favorites, or the places near you, one per line. Your list is saved in this browser. Add *2 after a dish to make it come up twice as often.

Questions
Can I put restaurants on the wheel?
Yes. Type the restaurants near you into the options box, one per line, and spin.
Is every dish equally likely?
Yes, unless you change the odds yourself. The 16 dinner ideas share the wheel in equal slices, and your browser's cryptographic random number generator picks the stop, so each dish has a 1 in 16 chance.
Can I plan meals for the week?
Yes. Tick Remove the winner after each spin and spin once per day, so no meal repeats.
Will my list be saved?
Yes, in this browser only. Nothing you type is sent to a server.
