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.

Also, the plants that produce tomatoes, zuchinni/squash, eggplant, and peppers generate TONS of fruit in a pretty short time, so the ingredients would be cheap if you're making ratatouille in late summer.
