About Ratatouille

A French stew, Ratatouille originated in the Occitan provence. Pronounced like "rat-a-two-ee," the stew is tradittionally a summer dish and includes veggies like tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, peppers, garlic, and onions. The dish is heavily seasoned with thyme, rosemary, marjoram and a variety of other spices.

The dish's funny-sounding name lent itself to an animated Disney/Pixar film that was a play on words. The film Ratatouille featured a talentless chef named Linguini who learns to cook by a very adept culinary master... Who happens to be a small, brown rat. The rat, Remy works behind the scenes to earn the chef accolades for his masterpieces!

Dressing up as Ratatouille

A big hit with kids, toddlers can dress up as characters from the film, Ratatouille. The Linguini chef costume comes complete with a chef's smock and chef hat decorated with Remy the Rat on the front. Add some more fun "ingredients" to this costume with household utensils as accessories like a spatula and cooking bowl.

If that's not your particular bowl of stew, than dress as a rat just like Remy with a mascot-style costume with a long rat tail. Wear a character hood or a full-coverage rat mask or incorporate the use of rat makeup or a prosthetic mouse nose to get the right look for your costume! Add a cute {chef's hat} on top of your rat mask for a film-inspired creation that will please your costuming palate!
