    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.

    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 !

      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 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.

      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?

      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.

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.

  • @jennynoelle6782

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    • @mywayoflife3419

      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.
