Food wheel

30 dishes

About this wheel

Spin the wheel to decide what to eat. It holds 30 everyday dishes and cuisines, from pizza and tacos to sushi, curry and stir-fry, and each one has an equal slice. It works as a random food generator when nobody can choose.

Use it to pick lunch with coworkers, settle a Friday night out with friends, choose a takeaway for the family, or find a theme for a potluck or a class party. For a food week, spin once a day and cook or order whatever lands.

Make it yours in the list box. Delete what nobody wants, so the wheel only holds food everyone will eat, and give favourites a weight from 2x to 5x so they come up more often. Choose Remove winner to plan several meals without repeating a dish. Use Save to My Wheels to keep your edited list in this browser.

Questions

How do I remove food nobody likes?

Delete the line in the list box. If a family of four dislikes sushi and kebabs, delete those two lines and the wheel redraws with 28 dishes.

How do I make a favourite come up more?

Give the dish a weight from 2x to 5x in the list. A dish at 3x has three slices worth of chance against 1x for the others.

Can I plan a whole week of meals?

Yes. Choose Remove winner and spin seven times. You get seven different dishes, one for each day, with no repeats.

Is this for eating out or for cooking at home?

Either. For a home-cooked weeknight list, try the Dinner ideas wheel, which holds meals you cook yourself.
