I love a good ratatouille. We make one that's with diced veggies instead of sliced, easier to keep consistent cuts without a mandoline. We add a cut-up sausage to get our meat kick.
I've never made ratatouille that way before. I slice and quick grill the veggies, then I give them a rough chop and put them all in a Dutch oven with my herbs. Then I finish cooking everything as a stew on my stove top. I love to serve it with Couscous.
I love that movie, but I always walk away from it with the thought in my mind that the food critic made an absolutely horrible investment decision to back Remy. Rats only live for like three years. What are you gonna do when he dies?
My wife @MeggyD123 makes ratatouille too! It's a family favorite meal. She's made it like this, but I think it's better when she cubes the veggies and serves it as a stew with some fresh baked rolls. I think it's also easier for her to make that way.
Ratatouille is a vegetable stew it's not in slices that's a different dish with a couple of names such as Confit Byaldi or Tian. They acknowledge this in the film twice. Once when Ego was taken back to his childhood eating said stew in his memories of his mother. The second is when Colette starts to make the proper dish and Remi stops her and it confuses her for a moment. Texture, temperature, char and caramelization change food it's one of the finer points they skipped to fit their metaphor.
Perhaps the backstory in the setting is that Tian hadn't been invented, until Remi came up with the concept. There are some REALLY yummy recipes and culinary tricks that are very popular today, because someone at some point tried doing something that no one else had before.
Watching this movie when I was younger : "Remy takes so much care to be hygenic, why does anyone care that he's a Rat?" Me watching this movie after becoming a Cook : "REMY! WHY DID YOU TASTE WITH THE STIRRING SPOON?! AND THEN PUT IT BACK IN THE GODDAMN FOOD!? NO ONE WANTS YOUR LIPS IN THEIR FUCKING DINNER!!"
First time I see it. But I went through it only because od your comment. If not, I would have assumed that it was just a clip from the movie and would have moved on.
Would totally be fine to serve that as a soup du jour, but would be out of place in fine dining as a proper dish. Personally I like the stew for winter and the casserole served cold in the summmet.
On an actual tidbit note since Roger Verge and Michel Guerard are both well accredited for inventing nouvelle cuisine it is hard to determine who gets more "credit" for the invention of this style of serving the traditional ratatouille dish. And since the sauces are a more recent addition (one that I absolutely love) it doesn't weigh in much to the naming of the dish (personally). And since a confit utilizes fat in prep and this avoids frying, I prefer tian provencal for naming.

"But that's a peasant dish" <- underrated line in that film

Ratatouille is very delicious. It looks pretty in slices but you can dice that shit and tastes the same

Yeah, this is something called confit biyaldi anyway.

I want some! Guess I'll try cooking today for a change.

You're right but I feel like the world will never care about the actual veggie stew and only want the pixar version.

Is...is this a well known gif? Why is no one commenting on the absurdity of this? Am I the only one absolutely bewildered by what I just watched???

I must have watched Ratatouille 6 or 7 times and this scene gets me every time.

Best scene

The childhood home in the flashback is the same house that Remmy was born in. The old woman with the shotgun was Ego's mother.

Just because no one has said it yet and to be pedantic. That's a Tian or a Ratatouille Tian from Provence. Definitely amazing though

Is the traditional ratatouille more like a stew? I haven't actually seen one. Too squirrelly to ever remember to google it lol.
TricksForDays
Yeah, traditional ratatouille is a stew. Both are delicious
cissychandler
Everything is diced very small, like a relish
Navilapiano017
Which is why when Ego flashes back, the meal he remembers is a stew.

Confit Byaldi.
TricksForDays
Maybe, no mushrooms or the vinaigrette though to make it a bayaldi. And without visual confirmation I can't assure anyone there's a pepper sauce base.

All we really know for sure is its a casserole
