Food Theory: What Disney Is HIDING About The Grey Stuff! (Beauty and the Beast)

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.

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.

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.

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

I’ve always wanted to try the stuff tiana makes from princess and the frog, the things getting served to the dad/mayor guy(I haven’t watched this movie in WAY too long😭😔) but also like anything in ratatouille, anything in beauty and the beast, honestly most Disney foods look absolutely delicious, I’m too indecisive for this💀💀

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".

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.

Can we appreciate how Matpat always makes intros and songs in his own words, its so awesome😊and hilarious😂

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

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?

Honestly i wanna try everything shown in Spirited Away. Hayao Miyazaki is truly an artist with how he depicts food in his movies😍

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.

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! 😂

Matpat one of the few people who can use “Going to Disney world for lore” as a business expense

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!

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

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.

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.

matpat: "The Grey stuff: disney's most famous food!" disney world turkey leg: allow me to introduce myself

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"
