rails - form to disply non-input type fields in nested form

Question

I guess this is a newbie question, but what is the syntax in a form to show contents of fields not as a text box/area, but rather like label would appear.

<% form_for @user do |f| %>
    <% f.fields_for :user_ingreds do |builder| %>
        <p>
            <%= builder.??? %>
        </p>
    <% end %>
<% end%>

user has_many :user_ingreds and accepts_nested_attributes_for :user_ingreds .

Basically I want to make a list of user_ingreds where the user can't edit the data but can remove the record from the list via a button.

However the fields_for builder doesn't recognize a direct call to to the fields in UserIngred model (ie, builder.user_id throws and error.

If you want to make a non-editable list of the ingreds with a button to remove them, then don't make a form.

Instead, display your data and a button beside them created with link_to and pointing to your delete function.

If ever you want to really display the content of your form variable, you can access it this way:

builder.object.user_i
