One of the best meals I ever ate was Ratatouille

Me and some friends had gone for dinner one day at some fancy place called the East End Cafe. Great ambience and  a great variety in the dishes. While scanning the menu I spotted the dish Ratatouille. It instantly got me thinking about the movie Ratatouille. It had actually been a while since we had seen the movie Ratatouille & probably the first time I had spotted the dish in any restaurant. As awesome as the movie was, about the dish itself ,somehow it never occurred to me that I might actually be able to try the dish in any of the restaurant’s here. I somehow always assumed it was a traditional French dish I would never find here. So I thought lets give this thing a try, if they could create an entire movie who’s pivotal moment depended on someone tasting the dish. When it did arrive on my table I looked at it with a little reservation. It appeared rather uninteresting in the dim lights of the restaurant and in an alarmingly small plate considering the price I paid for it. However it smelled delicious & a mouthful later I can say it was certainly one of the most delectable dishes I have had in my entire life. The interesting thing I learnt later was Ratatouille is not the most well defined dish. It is open to interpretation & its exact ingredients can vary from place to place. Though I don’t remember what ingredients comprised the dish here it’s taste and aroma were unforgettable  and so far removed from anything I had eaten before.
