title: Polymer paper menu button
body: <p>I am very new to web development and am attempting to learn to use polymer to create a simple webpage.  I have created a drop down menu populated by the names in a json file similar to the below example. I cannot understand how to display the data associated with the selected menu item. below is the demo code from the polymer project. I understand this question may seem very simple to some of you. Thank you in advance for your patience and any assistance that may be provided. </p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;paper-menu-button&gt;
      &lt;paper-icon-button icon="menu" noink&gt;&lt;/paper-icon-button&gt;
      &lt;paper-dropdown class="dropdown"&gt;
        &lt;core-menu class="menu"&gt;
          &lt;template repeat="{{name in food}}"&gt;
            &lt;paper-item&gt;{{}}&lt;/paper-item&gt;
          &lt;/template&gt;
        &lt;/core-menu&gt;
      &lt;/paper-dropdown&gt;
    &lt;/paper-menu-button&gt;
  </code></pre>
