Cannot get value when accessing Hash via CSV in ERB - ruby

Question

I currently have this hash,
{ "meal" => "Bomb mi ",
"meal_type " => "Bombwiches",
"times_served" => "8AM to 3PM",
"days_served" => "Tuesday - Sunday",
"notes" => "Hoisin glazed shredded pork or tofu, fresh jalapenos, house-made pickled daikon & carrots, pickles, fresh cilantro, sriracha and a fried egg. ",
"price" => "13.25" }
that I'm able to access in irb via #menu_items[i]
The data is coming from a csv that i'm loading using Sinatra
get "/menu" do
data_file = 'rabbit-sinatra.csv'
#menu_items = []
CSV.foreach(data_file, headers: true, :encoding => 'utf-8') do |row|
#menu_items << row.to_hash
end
erb :menu
end
I'm then looping through this and pulling out any and all necessary values in erb.
<% for i in 0..70 do %>
<% if #menu_items[i]["meal_type"] == "Bombwiches" %>
<div class="menu">
<div class="foo"> <%= #menu_items[i]["meal"]%> </div>
<div class="times_served"> <%= #menu_items[i]["times_served"]%> </div>
<div class="days_served"> <%= #menu_items[i]["days_served"]%> </div>
<div class="notes"> <%= #menu_items[i]["notes"]%> </div>
<div class="price"> <%= #menu_items[i]["price"]%> </div>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Although #menu_items[i]["notes"] and all other hash parsing commands work, for some reason the initial "meal" value is not being picked up when i run
#menu_items[i]["meal"]
Instead of returning the value for meal "meal" => "Bomb mi " it returns nothing.
Not sure what I'm missing.

Answer 1

Cannot reproduce.
i = 1
#menu_items[i] =
{ "meal" => "Bomb mi ",
"meal_type " => "Bombwiches",
"times_served" => "8AM to 3PM",
"days_served" => "Tuesday - Sunday",
"notes" => "Hoisin glazed shredded pork or tofu, fresh jalapenos, house-made pickled daikon & carrots, pickles, fresh cilantro, sriracha and a fried egg. ",
"price" => "13.25" }
puts #menu_items[i]["price"] #=> "13.25"
puts #menu_items[i]["meal"] #=> "Bomb mi "
Clearly it doesn't contain what you think it does.
