RANDOM MENU GENERATOR

In the file random-menu.rb, in your code, create three arrays of ten items each.
These three arrays/lists will be a different type of food or descriptor for
that food.

For example, the first array can contain adjectives, the second can be cooking
styles, and the third can be foods.

By selecting a random item from each of the three arrays, it can create a full
description of a randomized food. It could create a few items like: hot
pan-fried dumplings, soft steamed clams, etc.

Optional Enhancements

Expand your solution to ensure that no descriptive term in a menu item is
ever repeated. So if the first menu item is hot pan-fried dumplings, the
phrases hot, pan-friend and dumpling cannot individually be used in any other
menu items. [COMPLETED]

Expand your solution to allow the user to determine how many items they'd like
to see via user input. Note: You will need to ensure that this user-chosen
number of items is not larger than the number of items you have in your
arrays. [COMPLETED]

Instead of using hardcoded or predefined arrays, make your program accept user
input. This user input will be utilized to generate the menu items. You'll
need to prompt for and store a varying number of entries for each food-type
array. [COMPLETED]
