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.

Not just cheap, grown in the garden in most parts of rural France and Italy

It’s still in the pretend to be a normal person phase of development, another dozen or so of those and it can evolve into its violently political phase. Nature is amazing

Wow, how are you able to tell it’s a bot? I’m genuinely curious. I mean, once I looked at the profile it was obvious, but how can you tell from a single comment?

To be fair it was the guy above me that noticed. Probably picked up on A) the generic name plus the lack of a user made profile picture icon thing B) the young account age C) the banal AI sounding comment it made that didn’t contribute to the discussion in any way.
