My example is an attempt to change selects to radio buttons in "the
rapid rails 3 with hobo" draft.
This would go on the recipes form (child) to select the country
(parent).

The models are
recipe:

 fields do
    title   :string
    body    :text
    timestamps
  end

belongs_to :country
validates_presence_of :country

country:

 fields do
    name :string
    timestamps
  end

has_many :recipes
children :recipes

thanks for your help
