I think you may have confused what include? does.
The description (Ruby doc) is:
Returns true if any member of enum equals obj. Equality is tested using ==.
When testing your Ingredient objects for equality, unless you have specifically overridden == in your model, what's being compared to 'Chicken' is actually an object of type Ingredient.
Consider:
my_dish.ingredients.find{|ingredient| ingredient.name == 'Chicken'}
I'm pretty sure there's a better way to do this, but find is always reliable.
Hope this helps.
