It's named after the dish Remi decides to make at the end that saves the restaurant

He sacrifices himself to become the ratatouille. So sad, RIP Lemi Ratatouille

"saves the restaurant"

No spoiler warning?!

Ratio_Tile@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 28d

Well, I mean, what i said was technically wrong, so it's not technically a spoiler?

And what they call a ratatouille is actually a tian since it's roasted cut vegetables and not a vegetable stew.

I take the reference another layer further by calling him Raccacoonie

_stranger_@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 29d

I call my cat that because he's a food stealing rat the size of a raccoon.

Fun fact: technically the dish in the movie is called Confit Byaldi, not a "real" ratatouille (which is just a stew)

Source: Ratatouille is one of my favorite dishes and movies

Edit:

Have a photo of my recent ratatouille:

TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip · 21 pts · 28d

Since we are going the corrections route, Confit Byaldi is a ratatouille but a ratatouille is not necessarily a Confit Byaldi

Guten tag, if I may, while it's normal for ratatouille to have some liquid left over in the process, this one seems just a touch watery, maybe try letting it cook without the lid for a while towards the end.

SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 28d (1 reply)

It's not yet fully cooked in the photo. I normally let it cook down don't more

You put Basil in the ratatouille?

DaGreenGobbo@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 28d

No, Basil's in his room with Manuel. At least, I hope he is.

SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 28d

No basil in there. The green stuff is zucchini

"ce regard appétissant" lmao.

I thought he was called Little Chef.

GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 28d

His name is Remy and that's what the other rats call him. Linguini calls him little chef because they can't actually speak to one another and therefore he can't tell him his actual name.

Jyek@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 28d

I'm certain more than one penis owner have named theirs "Little Chef"

Ratatouille is just pisto with slightly different spices.
