Ratatouille

I just watched Ratatouille. This is about Remy, a rat, who had the innate ability to smell food. He dreams of being a chef. He is constantly risking life in an expensive French restaurant because of his love of good food, as well as a desire to become a chef. Yet, obviously, this is a rather tough dream for a rat. But opportunity knocks when a young boy, Linguini, who desperately needs to keep his job at the restaurant, despite his lack of cooking abilities, discovers and partners the young Remy. Its up to the two of them to avoid the insane head chef, bring the rest of Remy's family up to his standards, win his partner a girl, and, of course, produce the finest Ratatouille in all of France.

By the way, Ratatouille is a traditional French Provençal stewed vegetable dish. The dish, originating in Nice, is fully named ratatouille niçoise.

French ratatouille may be served as a meal on its own (accompanied by rice, potatoes, or simple French bread), or as a side dish. Tomatoes are a key ingredient, with garlic, onions, zucchini (courgettes), eggplant (aubergine), bell peppers (poivrons), some herbes de Provence, and sometimes basil. All the ingredients are sautéed lightly in olive oil. . When ratatouille is used as a filling for savoury crepes or to fill an omelette, the pieces are cut smaller than in the illustration.
