Can’t decide what to eat? Spin the random food type generator and get a food genre or cuisine to try. A food genre is a category like Italian, BBQ or desserts, so it narrows your choice without making the whole decision for you. Use it for lunch, dinner, date night or group decisions.

From Genre to Meal: What to Do Next

2. Choose one dish you already know you like.
3. Check everyone’s dietary needs before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between food type, food genre and cuisine?

The terms are often used interchangeably. “Cuisine” usually means a regional style such as Italian or Thai, while “food type” or “food genre” can also cover broader categories like BBQ, seafood or desserts.

Can I use it for a weekly meal plan?

Yes. Spin once for each day of the week and plan one meal around each result.

What if I don’t like the result?

Spin again. Agreeing on one re-spin beforehand keeps it fair.
