Answer
- Yes. According to the writer, Ratatouille is the best film ever about food.

- Not really mentioned.
- Yes. The writer says: subtleties are lost on the vast majority of us. ... research ... showed most people in double-blind tests thought cheap wine tasted better than ridiculously expensive ones ...
- Yes. But of course, if you say something’s a prize winner or it costs a lot, people do believe it tastes better.
- Yes. ... the other day I saw a chef reject one of the competitor’s dishes, ... because the tiny spots of sauce around the edge of the plate were unevenly spaced apart. ... he chucked it in the bin. And this in a country where the number of food banks providing free food for the poor has doubled in the last two years!
- Yes, this is the basic message of both the post and the blog itself, which is titled Food, friends, family. ... on tasting the first mouthful, the critic is transported back to his childhood. He remembers coming home upset having fallen over. His mother sits him down and places a plate of ratatouille before him. It’s fresh, it’s tasty, but more than anything, it’s comfort and a mother’s love. ... we’re the memories of the food we eat.
