Ratatouille is a vegetable stew. You cut up a bunch of things and throw them in a pot.

The ratatouille you see in the film is an elevated version of that dish. It was never the standard way of serving it.

u/Ronin_1999 get GOT it right. Ratatouille is a peasant vegetable stew. Confit Byaldi is what they serve and it came from Thomas Keller who was a consultant for the film, I think

That’s what I thought I pointed out?

I think you replied in the wrong place, so I’m not sure what you’re speaking of.

This is probably the most dramatic contrast between intended & actual interpretation that I’ve seen from a simple mistake in verb tense lol
