Unused Text

This is a sub-page of Ratatouille (GameCube, Wii, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Windows).

Within tt01.gc in the game's files is all of the game's text and dialogue written out. Thing is, it's long. Like really, really long. Amidst the insane amount of text that is used throughout the game, there is, of course, a healthy dose of text that isn't. Some of it is simply text corresponding to scrapped menu pop-ups, while other parts are for completely removed voice lines.

Interestingly, some of the scrapped dialogue in here actually does get used in the HD version of the game.

Strangely, text for full, preparable recipes- it seems unlocking food recipes was once planned for the game's extras.	Recipe #1: "This Niçoise dish is much more than a vegetable soup. It can be prepared fairly quickly by cooking everything together at the same time, but that needs to be done in the correct sequence to not miss the art and the flavour of the dish. It's also true that the recipe can legitimately vary according to tastes, but the variations should be based on experience." "The volume is also very variable. 'Too much' doesn't apply to Ratatouille. Cook it the first time, and eat it hot as the main course; then have it again later as a cold hors-d'oeuvre. In the summer time, it's great as a cold main-course dish. It keeps for several days in the refridgerator. Ratatouille is good served with couscous grain or rice." "Cooking Pot - we use a large pressure cooker, without the pressure." "Volumes: 1.6 kg tomato, 700 g eggplant (2), 500 g zucchini (3), 700 g bell pepper (2-3), 1 kg onion, 6 cloves of garlic, Herbes de Provence (basilic, thyme, parsley), olive oil, salt, pepper, 140 g tomato paste." "1. Peel and drain the tomatoes (don't mind the seeds): cut out the stem cores; drop the whole tomatoes into boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove into a collander. The skin should split for easy removal; otherwise, make an X cut in the top, then peel off the skin." "2. Chop the onion and garlic. Clean the bell pepper, cut into small strips. 3. In a large cooking pot with thick bottom, put in olive oil, onions and chopped garlic. Add in the bell pepper. Cover to keep in the moisture. Cook for 20 minutes, stiring frequently and add olive oil as necessary to prevent singing." "4. Add the peeled tomatoes and herbs de Provence. If you don't have good garden tomatoes with flavor, add a small can of tomato paste. Stirr well and cook for another 15 minutes. [35'] 5. Cut the eggplant into slices. Cut the un-peeled zucchini into slices. 6. Add the eggplant and zucchini to the pot. Cook for about 30 minutes. [65']" Recipe #2: "Here is a simple but delicious crepe recipe which can be made in minutes. It's made from ingredients that everyone has on hand. Original recipe yield: 8 crepes" "Volumes: 1 cup all-purpose, flour, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon, salt, 2 tablespoons butter, melted." "1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth. 2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly." "3. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn (or flip in the air) and cook the other side. Serve hot."
