Theorists, when was the last time you watched Disney's Beauty and the Beast? In the big musical number Be Our Guest, we are introduced to "the grey stuff" as being delicious. IT became a mystery to solve. What IS the grey stuff, exactly? Then Disney put a verison in their theme parks, yet, I think they may still be hiding some dark secret about this mysterious food. Something they do NOT want us to know!

To be honest, I've never given the question of which fictional food would I like to try much thought however since MatPat asked the question off the top of my head I'd like to try a Krabby Patty from Spongebob, anything from Ratatouille & the invisible food from Robin Williams version of Peter Pan.
Congrats on the pin!
You have what I’ve always wanted a pin. But good job you deserve it.
@@Hi-cm1cj Thanks.
@@ChrisWV514 Ofc man. You earned it. I just hope that you are having a good rest of your day. Even though I am a random person, I wish you a good life as well.
@@thejurassicking3817 Well, thanks & I'll wear this pinned comment for the both of us.
In the Spanish version of the song, when they mention the gray stuff they sing "pruebe el hígado de pato" which translates to "try the duck liber". Having it confirmed by the theorists is just chef's kiss.
Correct! Yours should be the top comment.
Answers hidden in one language are often revealed in another.
my first intuition was to check the french lyrics...
and they are AWFULLY wrong, as they name dishes who have nothing to do with what's presented
honestly, based on the time and location of the movie, my first guess was pate
Yeah, I don’t think I ever thought about it before, but the second _this_ video presented it, I was like, “wait, foie gras, right?”
Just realized I have Disney+, and can quickly find the German. “Try this, it tastes superb.” Literally just “das“ (that) the demonstrative pronoun. 😂In German they do not even describe it as grey.
this is actually amazing... Latin translations often have a thign for accuracy that makes it extra good....
I imagine Matpat sitting at the dinner table, taking a bite of his food, savoring the flavor, chuckling, and then muttering “It’s theory time” under his breath.

Dang the Bots got here faaaaaaast!
God fucking dammit
@Тhе Fооd Тheorists 🅥 you are fake food theorists
As a French person, it's more likely that the gret stuff is either Foie Gras (but foie gras doesn't really look like that, because it's suposed to not be too changed) or Mousse de Canard (a duck mousse), which can vary a lot in colors, going from pinkish to grey if you add pepper or else !
edit, I commented after hearding the mention of foie gras lol
What do you mean by too changed
@@madhavikn8216kept in its original form or shape as much as possible. To proccess it was to ruin it. So no grinding it up to a paste. Most you would do to serve it "properly" was cute it into a more desirable shape.
Thank you for the reply after 2 months
I completely forgot about it but thanks anyway for the information
@@madhavikn8216 I was just back around to rewatch the video. Not the original commentor, and I know how frustrating it is not get an answer to questions.

The fictional food I want to try the most- isn’t even really fictional- it just looks so good! This food being the Ramen from Ponyo- also the honey drink from Ponyo-. It all just looks so good.
It was my childhood favorite food. I started drinking honey milk everyday cause of that movie
Food theory idea : Can food critics actually recognize the difference in quality between ingredients if they’re not told which is which or if they’re told a generic ingredient is a fancy one
Edit : Ma! I’m famous! 😂
Wow, the bots are gathering here
Bot party!!!
No. They can’t
Yes they can. Go watch sorted food they have tons of taste tests and so does Nate from t.k.o.r. he has his own channel now
there’s bots in your comment..
I would love a theory on how Gaston's egg intake affects his health AND the village's economy. Because the woman is like, "I need six eggs" and the reply being "that's too expensive".
This seems like a very good theory
I LOVE this theory! I have seen so many times how Gaston basically destroyed the economy by how much eggs he eats since childhood, it's so funny!
I came up with that theory way before MatPat did, just from my family playing the soundtrack nonstop
It would be a fun theory to do but the "That's too expensive" line isn't about the eggs. The line is coming from a man negotiating about pottery in the background.
Legit would love to learn more about French history
Honestly i wanna try everything shown in Spirited Away. Hayao Miyazaki is truly an artist with how he depicts food in his movies😍
Same
I would love to try Pinkie Pie's desserts from Sugar Cube Corner from MLP. They always look so good, especially the rainbow pie with with 73 ingredients in it.
I'm surprised Matpat hasn't collabed with Binging with Babish yet, considering he's literally made all of the foods Matpat has wanted to try
I believe he has! It was in the saint Jude charity stream if memory serves
If I’m wrong I blame sleep deprivation lol
My first thought when he said all of the stuff he wanted to try was "Has he never seen binging with babish?"
Also, note Babish tried making his version of The Grey Stuff which is liver spread
@@harleylaufeyson6136 I kinda always figured it would be goose liver pate
The candelabra is a time traveler who got cookies and cream from the future
I went to Disney World back in 2018 and actually had "The Grey Stuff." Honestly, it was delicious! It was like a mix between cake icing and whipped cream AND in the shape of a mickey head. 100% recommend!
Back in 2018
Food theory: in the Beauty and the beast we hear a villager say “I need six eggs, that’s too expensive.” Could Gaston’s egg eating habit be artificially inflating the cost of eggs?
although i find this hilarious, im pretty sure the guy saying its too expensive had nothing to do with the poor egg lady
poor as in misfortunate*
I saw a part of a RUclipsr called SuperVintendo64 in which he asked on a stream a question which Disney Villain could be reasonable and his friend made a theory for that with Gaston when he was a kid and France was overrun with eggs and thus begins Gaston's egg eating habits and let me tell you, the way she said it is really hilarious.
I once read that Gaston said a higher number of eggs in the French version, but i can't remember how much, only that it was a number with 9 because it rhymed
Those lines aren’t connected. The former is a woman bye egg, the later is a man one stall over arguing with a fishmonger.
Matpat one of the few people who can use
“Going to Disney world for lore” as a business expense
I Am doubting it is even legal
I am incredibly envious
fun fact: in Minecraft bedrock addition, in The Disneyland Pack They have the gray stuff as food there
@@kc-jm3cd I bet it's at least partially a joke
True true
Can we appreciate how Matpat always makes intros and songs in his own words, its so awesome😊and hilarious😂
matpat: "The Grey stuff: disney's most famous food!"
disney world turkey leg: *allow me to introduce myself*
I always assumed it was liver Pâté which turns grey after some exposure to air. Back in those times they didn't have valid ways to keep the food fresh and looking pink. This would not effect the taste much or make you sick, and the result would be delicious grey stuff.
My first thought was Foie Gras style patte.
So I'm a bit confused why matpat thinks it's such a surprise.
Exactly. I grew up eating liverwurst (basically a liver paté sausage) on crackers as a snack, which tends to turn grey in the fridge after you cut the casing open, so I always knew what the grey stuff was and what it tasted like (it is delicious).
@@Ecapsora tbh grew up with pate made with chicken liver, butter, and some red wine, never thought their was anything wrong with it, also was it suppose to be grey? Even after being cooked, it just looks grey, especially when you let it sit.

“What fictional food have you always wanted to try”
Coffee jelly from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K
Whacky ones? Never thought about it. Regular ones? Krabby patty.
Also, Babish from Cooking with Babish actually makes some of these things. He made the guacamole sombrero from Despicable Me and "Bubble Bass' order"
Matpat, if you’re disappointed by honey, I highly recommend looking around at some locally produced “raw” honey. I literally eat mine out of the jar like Pooh. Helps my allergies, too.
Most of the supermarket stuff is cut with either rice syrup or corn syrup, and I can hardly eat that anymore. I live in Utah, and I buy from Hollow Tree Honey. They also ship around the country, but obviously it’s more environmentally friendly to source locally.
Yes!!! Locally produced honey is so good! I love my neighbours honey and I feel like I can taste the flowers. Also it’s cool to think flowers from my garden helped make it.
yeah the store bought stuff tastes kind of sour and a bit like vomit
I bet you think crystals heal you too
Always eat local honey to help with allergies! 😁👍
100 natural honey is so delicious. I don't use it iften, but I love using it as a substitute for Syrup on occasion.
Recipe for grey stuff:
Ingredients:
12 chocolate sandwich cookies
1 (3.4 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 (8 ounce) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed
Steps:
1. In blender or food processor, crush chocolate sandwich cookies into a fine crumble, Set aside
2. In a large bowl, add instant pudding powder and milk. Whisk together and let chill in refrigerator 10 minutes.
3. Stir in cookie crumbs and whipped topping with a spoon, being careful not to over-mix.
4. Enjoy!
I got this from The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook I tried this recipe and it tasted exactly like it I recommend
Bless you
Ay-ohhhhh!!!!!!🎯 Thank you!💕
You lucky that it's unofficial, or else you would have Disney suing you for copyright issues for this post lol
@anie oui oui, it is! but this is what they serve at Disney, which i wouldnt go out of my way to try The Grey Stuff except the real deal version.
wheres the liver?🤔
This is one of a handful of MatPat theories so solid I saved it to my headcanon folder. The time frame, Disney's motives, all of it checks out. And I guess there's something I will list off ever eating. I'm still going to try a more ethical form of liver one day, though
Nah, when in France, try it, it´s delicious.
I have ALWAYS wanted to try the pastries offered to Barbie in the Mermadia movie from 2006. Or perhaps all the different colored crabby patties ☺️
Honestly, everything from Ghibli movies just looks amazing, especially the feast from spirited away. If only I could make that kind of food.
Oh my gosh! This~!
Yes!! Yes!! Yes!! Especially from Spirited Away. The scene from My Neighbor Totoro when Mei eats that cucumber makes my mouth water, how do they do it??!!!
Ponyo's ramen with HAM!
@@Digglesisdead HAAAAAAAM!

Yes yes yes!!
Personally, I thought it was some sort of pâté (literally "paste"; made from a mixture of blended meats and seasonings). It's savory, gooey, usually served on crackers or bread, and is an unappetizing grey or grey-ish pink color. It's also frequently served as hors d'oeuvres, like how the song suggests, and, while usually associated with France, can be found in most European cuisines in some form, dating back to at least the middle ages. Mousse is, in fact, just finer-ground paste (it literally translates to "foam"), though it was invented in 18th century France. However, pâté and savory mousse are considerably more rare in America, and probably wouldn't go over as well with the guests at the theme park.
I had something in France at a fancy restaurant recently that sounded a lot like this video. I thought I was 1) cool for eating the cool thing from the movie then 2) disgusted by it because of the bans and such
But it must’ve been the pâté haha
I don’t speak French. My grandpa just told me to try it
Had no idea pâté was uncommon in the USA, sec9nds into this video I was thinking pate, you can get like 10 different kinds at our local supermarket most are grey or light pink as you say.
I always assumed it was pâté as well!
@@myopinion69420 I’ve only had organ meat when it has been hidden in something else, like Hot Dogs. We really don’t see people using organ meat in recipes here in the US, which is a shame because there are so many vitamins were missing out on!
That was my thought too
When honey is on warm food, it actually looks a lot like the honey in the “Winnie the Pooh” cartoons. I should know, because I’ve had honey walnut shrimp at Panda Express and I’ve seen the honey on the shrimp look like the honey in the “Winnie the Pooh” cartoons.
I just want to point out that the gray stuff in the movie is more of a paste. So it's not just foie gras, it's specifically Pate de foie gras (Goose Liver Paste). I just thought I'd make that distinction.
If I had to pick a food that I would love to try irl, I would probably go with either the cider from the book Fantastic Mr Fox or any of the candies from the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory such as Wonka's Whipple scrumptious fudgemallow delight, chocolate milk from chocolate cows, square sweets that look round, or caramels that remove cavities among thousands of others. Don't even get me started on Wonka-Vite from Charlie and The Great Glass Elevator.
I may sound stupid but is Charlie and The Great Glass Elevator a sequel to The Chocolate factory? Charlie and The Chocolate Factory was my favorite book as a kid and not once have I ever heard anyone even bring up the idea that there could have been a follow up to it
@AP3 Productions MatPat literally refers to it as Pate at one point in the video.
@@MrDannyDetail
Maybe so, but he keeps showing pictures of foie gras and not Pate de Foie Gras. There's a big difference between the two. One is like a filet and the other is a paste. But he keeps focusing on the filet when the movie is focusing on the paste. You see the problem?
@@ap3productions81 he isnt the one focusing on it, The Editors are. Yall forget that he doesnt make these videos himself anymore.
And besides, normal Foie Gras looks more appatizing and shows what it actually is, Obese Goose Liver, and lets you get a sense of how it might taste, Savoury. It also contrasts a lot more when put next to the Sweet Disney Desert Version.
I do Agree with the Wonka Choice Though, Even though I know I would break my teeth on an Everlasting Gobbstopper. Imagine drinking Fizzy Lifting Drinks while wearing a wingsuit or hang glider!
@@ap3productions81 that was on my mind as well. Good for humans for realising that it's not good to force-feed geese or ducks to obtain Foie Gras, also I don't see why Disney should shy away from this, it's part of our history (I get it why they won't serve Foie Gras instead, but they should at least come clean with the dish in the movie). In some countries it is still served, I got to eat once at a local wedding and to be honest, I didn't enjoy it. It's still legal to eat liver "pathe" though (it can easily be obtained from normal liver) and can be bought in supermarkets as well, and honestly it can be really good as an appetizer.
When mat pat asked:”what fictional food did you always wanted to try?”what came to mind is Toriel’s butter scouts cinnamon pie and the cake from portal.
I always imagined the cake was actually made of wax…
I've always wanted to try the butterscotch cinnamon pie too, or the nice cream from undertale
Same, but I also want to try the dark candy from deltarune
i actually made it once! i.. ate the whole thing- its as delicious as it looks
bone apple teeth *chef's kiss*
Before watching the video: given the time period the cartoon took place, I think the grey stuff is either some type of pate or a highly-processed dessert, like souffle, that is difficult to color with natural additives without altering the taste, and artificial food colorings were obviously not invented yet.
The Jade Phantom Pepper Chilli from Regular Show sounds delicious. Sweet and Spicy with hints of Lavender. You should try to recreate it since the Jade Phantom Pepper doesn't exist.
I mean... it also could be the fact of trying to convince a 6 year old that wants to eat what Belle ate to eat "liver" is a lot more complicated than asking them to eat a mountain of gray frosting.
@Boxing The bots have become self aware... the robot uprising has begun.
@@jeromevaleska2014 everybody run-
I think 18th century food in general is a pretty hard sale for modern people. Some stuff works fine but the taste was rather different from what we are used to today, particularly the deserts were very different. We are also talking about food made for the French aristocracy at it's most decadent time...
I tried more then a few historical meals myself, I think my weirdest reaction was to the 14th century gingerbread... boy, was that odd tasting.
Serving a niche super expensive delicacy that is mainly enjoyed by gourmands to children is likely why it wasn't served initially but the animal rights controversy is probably why they decided to add a fake version later, not only will it gives them cash but it will also keep any protesters away '(that would have sounded odd in 1991 but in 2013 people were easily upset and it was just a matter of time before PETA or someone else would notice and go ballistic).
I would love to try anything made by Kronk from the Emporer's New Groove! Knowing Kronks backstory and how he loves cooking and is clearly good at it would be amazing. Plus the dishes we see are interesting too
Oh yeah, his spinach puffs!
@Thank me later 🅥 Bot.
Edit: Just to be clear, I’m saying the account I’m replying to is a bot, not the comment.
I used to watch the kronk short where he falls in love all the time
MATPAT NOTICE ME!😞😞😞😞😞
Babish Culinary Universe has a recipe for the spinach puffs, so you can make that one at home!
My brother is fascinated with the "three-decker toadstool and sauerkraut sandwich with arsenic sauce". Obviously, you wouldn't want to consume much arsenic, so he suggests an elderberry sauce in honor of "Arsenic and Old Lace".
The cartoon food i've always wanted to try is called "chickuna" from my early childhood, dawn of the croods. It seems to be a combination of tuna and chicken, and seems to taste bad from various voice lines in the show such as "No more chickuna!", and "You really hate chickuna huh?" It sounds interesting and i want to try it.
When I first saw the grey stuff in The Beauty and The Beast, it looked like it was fresh cement. Either way, I am so happy that someone finally called out Disney on this. I always thought they had weird varieties for their fictional food.

I love how Matpat's sandwich choices are things that have been done by Binging with Babish. Time for a collab
Exactly what I was thinking lmao
That’s the first thing that came to my mind XD
Exactly what I was thinking.
Didn't he also do the grey stuff?
@@RaulDiaz-mp8ms He did so basically Matt and Babish NEED a good theory food to make together something truly out there and fantastical to get these foodies to collab.
A bit late, but I remember one fictional food that I did get to try - back in elementary school, on the last day of 1st or 2nd grade, after having read (or, well, having been read *TO* really) “Maniac Magee,” or teacher gave us the chance to actually eat Butterscotch Krimpets. I remember really liking them too!
I've always wanted to try tiana's famous beignets and gumbo from princess and the frog sit looked so delicious I've always wanted some.
For me the Grey Stuff was always foie gras, I didn't watch the live action remake and was kinda surprised they replaced it to caviar, foie gras looked like such a good live action representation (watching the whole video through I know why they replaced it)
I assumed the same thing it looks like foie gras and makes the most logical sense. Making caviar or a dessert is just odd.
I still haven't seen the live action, but at 40yrs old I saw the movie more times than i care to count both when it came out and many times later with children. Foie Gras was always my interpretation as well. Especially since most kids (in the US at least) wont be familiar with it at all, the word is confusing, and when described it sounds absolutely TORTUREOUS to eat.
Calling it "Grey Stuff" was likely just to make it more US-Kid Friendly...maybe?
I always thought it was pâté
That's what I thought it was...
Dunno if someone below has already mentioned, but.... it's panna cotta colored gray
I’ve always wanted to try Tiana’s beignets as a kid. Nowadays, I’d love to try any dish from Genshin Impact.
Slime condiments?
@@blesskurunai9213 absolutely
Actually U can get Tiana’s beignets from Port Orleans riverside in Florida! I had them and they are to die for!
But still, those beignets are probably so good.
The alien food from the book "My Teacher Flunked the Planet". I think they were called flimflits. I read that book back in 7th grade and always wondered what it tasted like.
Honestly, I'd really like to try all of the different foods from the avatar (blue) movies, especially zanke, teylu, squid fruit, harvest fruit, yovo fruit, feathertail fish, flat skate fish, and sturmbeest meat, just to see what alien plants and animals taste like.
Matt: What would these characters be eating for the past decade?
Real Question: Does a sentient candelabra have a stomach?
@Thank me later 🅥 lol ok bot
I honestly thought the answer was just gonna be "Trick question, they didn't"
Probably not
Hmm, I guess the curse were making them to drain energy from the Beast (it wouldn't be a curse if it was giving them an infinite supply of energy).
That's for Film Theory to answer
Honestly I think the problem with your honey is that yours is store bought and super processed. I've removed honey straight from the frames with my friends, and that stuff is DELICIOUS. Like, it's not over-sweet, it's not bland, it almost gives you a buzz of energy from the taste alone. THAT is the honey that fantasy gushes over.
I don't know, the thing is Winne the Pooh makes it look like you could eat so much of it just raw. It's not so much being disappointed with the honey itself but being compared to the one from Winne the pooh.
For example when I was 3 I really wanted to eat a tree star from land before time, I found the best leaf outside that looked exactly like one, was very disappointed. That wasn't the leaf's fault it was probably the best tasting leaf around but it wasn't as nice as I expected the tree stars to be haha.
Yep, I feel genuinely sorry for MatPat for never actually tasting a real unprocessed honey, because it's delicious. Absolutely incomparable to that store-bought crap that taste like sugar and nothing else.
hehe.. "buzz"
Raw honey is so good! I've eaten honeycomb before and I loved it. Fresh raw honey definitely does taste better than pasteurized honey
When I heard he didn't like honey, I was straight-up offended, because ever since I was 7-8, I was stung by bees while getting those sweet-sweet honey combs and also while washing bees' water jars with my grandparents 🍯🐝❤️😭
The lemonade from that one Fairly Odd Parents episode always looked so good
i love that mini song MatPat made up for binning
from 2:24 - 2:32
When I was a wee lad, I asked my mother what the grey stuff was, she told me is was foie gras. She listed similar logic to what you used in your video, and I found it pretty plausible. I had "known" it to be foie gras for so long that I was really confused when I saw this video, I had forgotten that it wasn't a stated fact. Finally, when my family and I went to Disney world some time ago, we were incredibly dissapointed that the grey stuff wasn't foie gras.
You're not disappointed now after seeing this video, are you? You can't be saying you are disappointed that geese weren't abused to give you this dish, right?
@@ScripulousFingore6133 I heard some people just feed their geese/ducks really fatty grain
That’s not very believable, like why would you expect your mom to know what the grey stuff is?
@@littelitt
Like you wouldnt ask your parents figure really weird questions when you were a kid since they are the most reliable source a child belive he has
Same. I've always imagined the "Grey Stuff" was more on the savory side and I imagined it to be a pate of some sort. So trying it for the first time when I went to Disney World was quite disappointing for me, even more so since I don't really favor sugary sweets like large amounts of frosting. But at the same time, it's understandable to make it sweet in order to cater to children.
I remember seeing a "Grey Stuff" recipe online somewhere that uses pate as an ingredient, but I couldn't find it again since the internet is loaded with Disney World's sweet Grey Stuff recipe recreations and all that sort.
The potion from Alice in Wonderland has ALWAYS been such a mystery to me! In the book, the taste is described as “flavor of cherry-tart, custard, pineapple, roast turkey, toffy, and hot buttered toast”. No clue how that would taste like, but it sounds like a warm filling!
Perhaps it changes overtime?
@@candicraveingcloude2822 like willy wonka?
Perhaps its some sort of magical alcohol.
@@connerburn7961 Considering that drug PSA of a movie, maybe. XD
@@Swaxol idk it was just a suggestion?
The pink porridge from Masha and the Bear always looked so good. But i really thought the grey stuff were ashes for some reason
Haven’t recently thought of what fictional foods I’d like to try honestly. Probably the foods from Harry Potter, Avatar the Last Airbender, I have a D&D cookbook that I haven’t made anything out of yet, Hot Chocolate with Cinnamon from Once Upon A Time is top tier best hot chocolate, I think it’d be awesome to get a Kingdom Hearts or Breath of the Wild cookbook, I’ve been to Universal Orlando and tried a bunch of different foods, pretty interested to see how the NintendoLand food goes over, I think that’s all?
I’m a vegetarian/pescatarian or whatever they call non beef eaters so the options are kind of sparse now. Can’t digest beef or pork anymore so that’s out of the running completely, I do have several food allergies or sensitivities so gotta be careful of those, and really all comes down to texture and flavor for me. Something might look bad but taste great or look great but taste terrible. Just gotta go with whatever my taste buds are wanting that day.
To be more specific MatPat, the Great Hall feasts from Harry Potter, Honeydukes, the Three Broomsticks (which we actually ate at in 2018 at Universal FL), Sugar Plums Sweet Shop, the Trolley on the Hogwarts Express, those kinds of foods. The Frozen Butterbeer at Universal FL will change your life, the marshmallow topping is the GOAT! We had one every day we were there! Shared one or two between the three of us and we all loved the flavor.
Theorists love him, Governments and Corporations loathe him, It’s MatPat bringing you another theory to munch on and overthink. Thanks Mat!
thanks mat
Yes
Don matpat has a very volatile relationship with Don Mickey mouse and it's going to end in one of them getting whacked in flim theory
I would totally try out the fried beignets from The Princess and the Frog, absolutely one of the greatest animated films from Disney.
Faxx
So many bots
Same here! The food on that movie looked amazing. 🤩
this is like the best answer
My top 3 are Jake’s ultimate sandwich from Adventure Time, Anne’s Thai-Bug fusion from Amphibia or Goblin Dogs from Star vs the Forces of Evil
4:27 and now is a food theory video
good job with the future theory ideas becoming reality
Mind blown! I was born in 84, and knew it was pâte' (seasoned liver) when I saw the movie in my later years. Never knew the history behind it though! Great video!
As a french person, I had no idea they tried to ban foie gras in the country, I don't think they ever will considering how cultural it is. Also, side note, the orange stuff you see in the movie is note caviar, it's salmon roe, does'nt come from the same fish and is WAY cheaper (about ten times cheaper)
Fish eggs are fish eggs.
Though on a more serious note thank you for the explanation.
J'en avais déjà entendu parlé mais c'est compliqué de l'interdire. C'est typiquement ce que tu manges à Noël, à des mariages ou à des fêtes de famille. En plus c'est pas mauvais.
Caviar is any fish egg for me and no ammount of dictionary deffinition will convince me otherwise
Also full of mercury I've heard.
Because foie gras is made pretty extra gross 🤮 and cruel ?
I've always wanted to try "Snow White's gooseberry pie." It's so cute in the movie, and it looks like it'd be really good. I would also want to try "The magical cookies" from Alice in Wonderland. These cookies bring back the tea parties that I would have when I was little. If I had those at my "tea parties" all my little kid dreams would have came true.
Gooseberries are delicious. I imagine even more so in pie form
I actually made it once cause I've got the official Disney cookbook and it's delicious
I'd love to try all the dishes from Ratatouille and most of the food from Ghibli movies, also pumpkin juice from Harry Potter, just to see whether or not it's sweet or spicy, since they always mentioned it in the books as the one thing that everyone at Hogwarts drinks, though butterbeer is next in line from that. I once ate a piece of an oak leaf because I thought it looked like a tree star from The Land Before Time, but it was terrible and I regretted it and was forever disappointed by it lol
I would probably want to try the special sentient sandwich from adventure time, i have seen so many people make it irl and it looks very interesting
I actually knew about goose liver pate already because my Mom's French and I've seen a depiction of the force-feeding process in a French comic book once. And I actually thought towards the beginning of the video that the grey stuff was probably pate. It's kinda cool to already know what Mat Pat's talking about for once
Yep. I always thought it was clearly pate.
Yep, I didn't think Foie Gras, I thought goose liver pate. Maybe my taste in food isn't as refined as Mat Pat's.
Guess you could call him Matt Pate
Ahh that's what he's getting at. Dang, now I want pâté
Learned about paté by working at trader Joe's. They let us try it one day and I'm literally like, this is left over gravy before you heat it up. Glad I grew up southern and rural. :) We are actually so much more alike than different in the world
4:34 I SERIOUSLY once did the calculations to try to figure out how many eggs Gaston ate in his lifetime, the caloric intake, how many chickens that would require due to their lifespan depending on species, and it was SO much fun! Meanwhile my siblings were trying to find the fastest way to ship me off to france to find out for myself so they'd stop having to listen to me hum the song as I worked...
Don't be shy drop the maths 👀👀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@RoRoGFoodie it was a year ago I've lost the paper with the results long ago
@@towatchvideos5592 That's rather tragic. It would have been so interesting to see something like that.
@@towatchvideos5592 Thank you for your service.
I haven't watched the movie in so long, but did anybody, even Gaston himself, say how old Gaston was? Or how old he was when he first started eating eggs?
I hereby petition to have this video sent to the Belgian government. As a Belgian, a former chef school student and an animal lover, I have conflicting feelings about the exquisite taste but horrendous manner of production of foie gras.
In the end, though, morals win out.
No creature should suffer such horrible abuse for a bite of decadence on our part.
Ive never really given it much thought but I guess I've always subconsciously wanted to try the food in Harry Potter⚡ cause it just looks SO stunning and delicious😋
The food in Breath of the Wild looks ridiculously good considering the recipes are usually "Toss a fish and some acorns in a wok you found in the woods." So maybe that would be my 'thing you want to try.' Either that or the pizza from just about any animated work.
same here, I'm thinking of finding some similar recipes and having some sort of theme dinner around that
omg yes. Link making beautifully-shaped crepes with just a stone wok is just. mm.
My brain then immediately went to dubious food
This reminds me of a theory that the process of making hominy (nixtamalization) was invented by people accustomed to cooking acorns with wood ash to neutralize their high levels of tannic acid. I've wanted to try a good nixtamalized acorn stew ever since.
I believe there was a video of people trying to make every BoTW dish in a limited timespan lol
Thank you Matpat for releasing this video, i been yelled at so many times about the gray stuff being a desert when it really was a Savory hors d'oeuvres, even kicked out of cooking classes when one of my majors was in food history, feels so good to see the truth be brought to light by a group people will mostly listen to
This revelation is super cathartic for myself too! I remember, as a young chid right before this movie came out, going to my grandparents farm and my grandmother making some nasty duck liver paste thing that I had no name for at the time (and didn't till this video) which is what the grey stuff reminded me of when the movie came out. Everyone at school was losing their minds about the movie and i mentioned to a friend that the grey stuff looked like liver and she got so mad at me she screamed insults in my face till I cried😂 hurt bad at the time, but hey stupid 1st grader me wasn't entirely incorrect.
I always assumed it was pate de foie gras or something. I mean, everything else on that tray is savory, it never even occurred to me that the grey stuff was sweet 😆
_You got kicked out of cooking class over the gray stuff in Beauty and the Beast??????_
Heh i live near villevielle in France and you'll be surprised what the grey stuff truly is, because it is made near. It is savory indeed, The grey stuff is called brandade and is a salted fish paste/cream/mousse,stored in glass jars and it is finger licking good, replacing it by caviar in the new version was not far from reality.
@@bluelfsuma yep, I had gotten into a heated discussion with a young teacher that I was reviewing for work. they had a nice itenary for a cooking class based around food in movies but they were adamant that the "gray stuff was a desert and if you could afford a a ticket to the parks you would see for yourself that its true" and then kicked me out of the classroom, little did they know I was somebody who cooked for governors and made more in a week at the time what they made in a year lol.

It's forie gras the liver paté (tuna fish salad is a paté) dish. It's gray because it's a meat that turned gray when baked in the oven.
That cheat that eat a guy. . cannaolism week
did i just watch a 16 minute video of some fictional “grey goo”. yes… yes i did
13:00 welp, good thing I enjoy a different form of foie gras, just good old mash pig's liver (and no, it's not the overly fattened type, just the normal type of pig)
It's hard to ignore any food item that appears in a Ghibli film. As basic a meal as it is, you can't look at the bacon and eggs from Howl's Moving Castle and not feel hungry

Respect to Matpat for acknowledging that the live action remake of Beauty and the Beast is just a horrible figment of our imaginations
There was a live-action Beauty and the Beast remake?
@@nerdyfoxes8000 well yes, there are lots of adaptations of the fairy tale. Most recent live action one I can find is the German-French film La Belle et La Bete in 2014. Certainly nothing more recent, no sir.

I've always wanted to try Tubby custard. It looks so good. 😎
Sorry mat but you've missed one glaring option for the grey stuff. There is a french grey creamy topping for crackers i use all the time, mushroom pate. it's the right consistancy and colour. It's savory like the other dishes and truffle pate is expensive and would fit nicely along side caviar. i almost thought you were going to mention it when you mentioned they would have used food from gathering/foraging as mushrooms are exactly that. the other optoin of course also coming from mushrooms could be mushroom ketchup also grey and creamy i'm surprised you overlooked these two options.
THIS!! I was so surprised, Matt ommited this posibility. Pâté makes much more sense, and it is also historically accurate. Foie gras (as Matt envisions it) would never have the consistency, which Belle could just scoop with her finger like that. And also is not this super gray in colour. I honestly think that in this theory Matt focused more on finding something scandalous, than actually trying to find something spot on. Disney could've just decided to make the Gray stuff a sweet treat, because children would simply not eat a pate (made from mushrooms!), when they go to a theme park..
I love Matts food theories, but I'm kinda dissapointed with this one.
@@mywayoflife3419 It could if it was goose liver pate or mousse. Though Mat Pat shows a photo of grilled Foie Gras as an example, which would not fit the movie scene.
@@michaelb1761 yeah, that is what I meant - it probably didn't come across clearly - I was criticizing the grilled Foie gras, which he showed on multiple occasions. That and also the fact he doesn't mention paté even as a possibility.
It surely could be like liver paté -which also gets that greyish hue after oxidizing, when left exposed to air.
Thank you for pointing it out 👍
Huh I always thought it was a liver pate. The thing that surprised me was how many thought it was a sweet of some sort. I had no clue Disney themselves have tried to brand it as such. Great video Matpat👍 keep up the good work
That is what it is. Four Gras is liver and it is usually made into a pate.
Same, as a kid I was told it was liver pate as well, never thought of it as anything else. And for those that has never had chicken liver pate, it's quite delicious.
Fourth flavor from knd, Candy from Jimmy Neutron, Krabby Patty, Literally anything in food wars except the deliberatly nasty (that karagi roll, caveman meat, and omlette though oooooo)
I'd have to say some of the godly looking sandwiches Scoob and Shaggy have made over the years.
Second choice would be anything Reuben (experiment 625) made, he had some great looking sandwiches as well
I have always wanted to try the Turkish delight from the Narnia series. I’ve heard people say that real Turkish delight isn’t that good, but I always expected Narnia’s Turkish delight to be this amazing gummy thing filled with chocolate and covered in powdered sugar.
It's good with tea. But not good enough to sell out my siblings for.
Usually the jelly is incased in chocolate for structure
It’s a jelly not a toffee like an eclair (Cadburys eclair nit the pastry)
It dries out quite quickly, so the perfect gumminess is often fleeting. But I’d recommend any Turkish delight you can find. If you look in Arabic shops around Eid you might even find the kind with nuts in 😋
I definitely recommend buying it first rather than trying to make it. I was far too ambitious and now I have two tubs of cornstarch.
real turkish delight is usually filled with pistachios and have a rich taste to them instead of the knock offs which are like sickly sweet gummies
For those fictional sandwiches you want, may I recommend watching Binging with Babish? He already made both of the ones you wanted. He also guesses the gray stuff was foie gras when he recreates the platter from Beauty and the Beast
Babish is a legend.
The foie I’m used to have more color. My guess is liver pâté. We make it at my job and it can get pretty grey.
He said he wanted to try it, not watch someone make it.
@@Naokarma A link to the recipes is in the description, tho
@@MuttonTheDragon There's not really a need to look at a recipe when both shows demonstrate exactly what they do. That's like trying to google the address of a store that's across the street.
I know the video came out a few month ago but i'm french and in the french version they say it's " Cuisine au beurre" which means buttery cooking.
I don't know if foie gras is made with butter but i don't think so
I came to this video after watching the Gaston one. Good job, Mat. You actually made the theory and weren't joking about it in this video. 👍
I'd definitely try some of the foods from Avatar if I could. Moon peaches , komodo rhino jerky, flaming fire flakes, possum chicken, and I'd obviously wash it all down with some of Iroh's tea.

No one who loves cabbages that much could grow a bad cabbage.
I’ve always wanted to try the onigiri and big steamed buns from Spirited Away. Not only is Studio Ghibli great at animating the most good-looking dishes, it always looked so comforting in a simple way
Honestly I'd like to some of the dishes Chihiro's parents had. Ya know, minus the whole getting turned into a huge actual pig thing.
Oh yeah, I don't care if it turns me into a pig but I wanna try the food Chihiro's Parents are before turning into Pigs
Mat part u never disappoint
Honestly, I'd try a lot of Harry Potter foods (Pumpkin Pasties, anyone?), the Owl House Fairy Pies, and the fictional food products from FFXIV (Chocobo, Dodo, Miq'Abobs).
Also, why not try to figure out wtf Hooty from the Owl House is? It'd be a cool idea for Film Theory
I remember watching Alice in Wonderland and always wondered about the blue dessert she ate to shrink and grow. Is it a cookie or cake or macaroon? Idk but it looked delicious 😂
According to official info, they're little bite-sized cakes with a texture similar to a fresh-out-the-oven cookie (which honestly makes it sound even _more_ mouth-watering to me 🤤🤭).
Interesting! They always looked more like a marzipan-covered spongecake, esp given the fact you could write on them..?
I thought they were one of those valentine cookies
It’s a macaroon not a biscuit and the mush room is a cake
You mean macaron macaroon is a different dessert that contains coconut but I have made that mistake before just don’t say it around French people
Matt should do one in how historically inaccurate the way the quote “let them eat cake” is used as the original usage of the phrase was to imply the Royal court should have been giving up the food, the cake, in favor of feeding the people so they don’t starve
If I remember correctly I think that Marie Antoniette was also NOT the one who said that phrase, but rather other princess who also happened to be named Marie (Marie Therese I believe).
There is actually a lot of misrepresention and misinformation about the French Revolution.
Cake was a term for the burnt scrapes and soot in the ovens they were saying they're so lowly could eat that.
@Thank me later 🅥 No
@@okiedouk Nah, wasn’t the term they used in the quote “brioche” (a pastry only the wealthy ate)?
Honey is way too sweet😂
The pink eggs served beside the grey stuff is roe (fish eggs) caviar is blackish green and laid by snails. Both are eggs, but very different species.
I was able to realize my dream to try Turkish delight when my boss brought back some from Turkey. Though it was tasty, I do not think it would compel me to betray family (Lion Witch and the Wardrobe)
Glad to find someone else who loves Turkish delight! It seems like tons of people try it because of Narnia but hate it.
I watched Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe awhile ago and may I say, this is pretty funny with that context.

I can imagine Matpat being so conflicted on whether this should be a Food theory or and Film theory lol😂😂😂
The research was done on the food and he just looked at the dish from the film
Culinary student here, thankfully there's a lot of companies making ethical foie gras by letting the geese eat what they want, and reducing the stress in their lives. This doesn't produce as much as the usual gavage method, but there's a lot less animal cruelty involved. On the other hand, ethical foie gras is even more expensive than normal foie gras, but I think that's to be expected. However, it'll still be a while before this new type is widely accepted, mainly due to the bad reputation foie gras already has.
When given the question "What fiction food would you like to devour" off the top of my head I'd have to go with the carnism version of Jake's sandwhich from Adventure Time and a Krabby Patty, maybe even Robin's sandwhich but thats just bacon and meat with fruit and veggies.. y'know what, the Engineers bacon sandwhich from TF2.
Eaily the fictional foods I wanna try the most is literally anything from a Ghibli Film, Lord fo the Rings, or some of the Skyrim dishes. Something about their styles just makes all their food seem mouth watering and perfect for a nice warm night in with the family. Even hearring pie, which adimtedly sounds more appealing when I remember that savory pies are a thing and it's not just fish in a sweet filling.
Ooh yes Ghibli food! Any time I watch Spirited Away I get hungry.
There is actually a studio ghibli cookbook.
Yes! These are the three categories that I immediately thought of too! Specifically lembas bread from LOTR and sweet rolls from Skyrim 😊
Tubby custard
Ghibli food solos, can't change my mind
I desperately want to try the food from Studio Ghiblis Ponyo. That golden drink the mother gives Ponyo looks heavenly. Then there’s the iconic ramen. Heck even the vanilla ice cream cone that Sōsuke eats looks so freaking good.
Wait no longer, the drink the mom gives Ponyo in the movie is warm milk with honey, I believe. I would definitely recommend trying it, after watching Ponyo as a kid I was addicted to the stuff especially during the winter. It also does make you sleepy cause its nice and warm so that would explain why she feel asleep so quickly after eating so much nice warm food.
I think that drink is just green tea with honey
Yeah that sounds really good
Ghibli food always looks amazing, I've always wanted to try the fancy looking bread in Kikis Delivery service it looks so fresh
the ponyo drink recipe i always use (or hot ponyo as its called now in my house) boil a kettle of water, in a mug put some honey and cinnamon, one the water has boiled, pour over the honey and cinnamon filling the mug about halfway, let cool a little, fill the rest of the way with milk or milk substitute of your choice! how much honey and cinnamon is up to you, I always end up using local honey from my farmers market!
I want to try lembas bread from LOTR.
It just looks great.
To answer the question of which fictional food I'd like to try? Anything in Barbie Fairytopia 2: Mermadia. The cookies, the berries, the cake; all of it. Even the bloody seaweed of water-breathing looks like the kind served up in a nice seaweed salad.
Tbf the movie in general is quite visually pleasing as it is nostalgic, but there's something about the food in particular that just looks 👌
"The gray stuff" premiered in Disney in 2013 because the Be Our Guest resturant opened in December of 2012. It was originally only served at that Beauty and the Beast-themed eatery. Foie gras laws didn't have anything to do with it--Disney knew kids weren't going to like duck liver spread, so they made a sugary cookies and cream mousse instead.
Y'know this is JUST A THEORY. Right?
Me: checks calendar
Yeah, December is still at the tail end of the year, which gives more than enough time for them to be prepared. Additionally, they could have simply read the room and preemptively changed things.
Why is your pfp "hi sorry for my bed english"?
I just find it funny because high-carbohydrate diets are linked to steatohepatitis, insulin resistance, and a lot of the other things that happen to a foie gras goose.
So, animal rights activists be like "Don't eat foie gras; *be* foie gras."
