A “Ratatouille” moment

There’s this part in the Disney/Pixar film Ratatouille where Remy, the talking rat-chef, is trying to explain the joys of the culinary arts to his brother Emil. He shows how two simple foods, with complementary characteristics, are greater than the sum of their parts when eaten together. I think he used cheese and a grape.

Anyways, keeping this in mind, I usually end my evening off on a healthy note, by snacking on a piece of fruit to stave away hunger….like an apple or a banana. One night I’m munchin’ on my apple and I see some almonds lying around, so I pop some of those in my mouth too….and WOW! What a combination! Not only do they complement and enhance each other’s flavors, but the both these foods are so basic and easily taken for granted that we forget that they are capable of wonderful things.

This moment of realization, of finding a complementary combination of two or more basic foods, will now be known as “Ratatouille” moments.

Soon after this first experience, I had a banana and a few walnuts and BOOM! Ratatoiulle moment #2.

To summarize:

Apple=good
Almonds=good
Apple+Almond=better

Banana=good
Walnut=good
Banana+Walnut=better

For all the mathies out there, assume better > good+good
