# Create three arrays

# cooking_styles = ["baked", "steamed", "fried", "roasted", "glazed", "grilled", "caramelized", "braised", "barbecued", "smoked"]
# foods = ["banana", "orange", "cantalope", "strawberry", "blueberry", "plums", "cucumber", "cherries", "apples", "pears"]

# welcome message
# assign variable to # of menus user will like to see

  ## randomly select an item from each array
  ## and ensure it is not duplicated
  #  num_menu.times do
  #    adjective = adjectives.sample
  #    adjectives.delete(adjective)
  #    cooking_style = cooking_styles.sample
  #    cooking_styles.delete(cooking_style)
