I have been using the Interactive Test template in conjunction with my
data. So far, I have been unable to get it to output my values. I was
hoping someone could give me an example of how I would access the
values from this JSON output. Each top level object has no name, and
there is no example in the documentation of how to select an object
that is unnamed. However, the JSON validates, so I'm guessing there is
a way to make this work.

Any help would be most appreciated.

The data you supply at the top are in $this initially. So you would
jsselect="$this" to repeat for every element in the array, or use
$this in expressions as you like.

Would this work?

<div jsselect="$this">
<p jscontent="$this.foodid + ': ' + $this.foodname"></p>
</div>

Yes it would. The recommended style would be to use elements for the
concatenation though:

<div jsselect="$this">
<p><span jscontent="$this.foodid"></span>: <span
jscontent="$this.foodname"></span></p>
</div>

This would make styling of the fields simpler (nay, possible). Also,
you can omit $this when accessing fields, though it may be good style
to use $this for clarity:

<div jsselect="$this">
<p><span jscontent="foodid"></span>: <span jscontent="foodname"></span></p>
</div>
