Sounds like you need some Javascript. 

You should be able to use Javascript to manipulate a hidden field that will contain an array of items, or their ids. You will need to get your hands dirty with Javascript, I see no other "DOM-oriented" way to do it. 

if you're not opposed to Jquery I'd just recommend jQuery UI's draggable which implements many hooks that will be good for you

I understand that part Walter.  I have done many nested forms. However, this is the first one with a drag and drop feature.

The part I am struggling with is how to populate the array that gets passed back through the drag and drop events.

I have the strong params setup and could easily just add a simple nested form, but I wanted to add the drag and drop as a feature so they could build the meals easily with an IPad.
