The clue is in the question. You say that a user can have more than
one entry in the table. What that implies is that you consider a user
to be a significant object in your system, and that you have a number
of them, therefore you should have a users table. Then to get the
dishes for a user you would just use something like
current_user.dishes and your problem would be solved.

ggest working right through a good tutorial such as railstutorial.org
( which is free to use online). That tutorial includes the concept of
users and will show you the basics of rails.
