What did I eat?

Question

I went to a restuarant for Thanksgiving that was a little out of my league (or at least what I'm used too) I had an appetizer that was some kind of squash stuffed with ratatouii. Pardon my spelling if I'm incorrect. What is in ratatuouii? (I didn't see the movie) Also, they served a green citrus like spritzer in a shot glass with a rubber looking reddish square thing before the main course. What was the purpose of this and how should I have consumed it. We were in Sedona, Arizona so I'm wondering if the green citrus could have actually been cactus?

Answer 1

Ratatoullie is mixed veggies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratatoullie

Don't know about the other thing though...

Answer 2

Ratatouille -Tomatoes are a key ingredient, with garlic, onions, zucchini (courgettes), eggplant (aubergine), bell peppers (poivron), some herbes de Provence, and sometimes basil and/or potatoes. All the ingredients are sautéed lightly in olive oil.

Answer 3

Green thing could have been starfruit or kiwi.  Red square thing could have been somesort of jellied fruit... prehaps cranberry.

Where in the world did you go?
