Your video is interesting, but ultimately it doesn't answer the question of why Remy chose to cook ratatouille for Anton at the end of the film.

If we assume that the house Remy grew up in is the same one Anton lived in (and that Remy knows this), there's still no way Remy could have met Anton as a child, and seen Anton's mother cooking him ratatouille (Anton was already old enough not to live with his mother at this point).

Or it could mean that Remy took a random recipe from Gusteau's cookbook, thinking that it didn't matter which recipe, since it was one that Anton's mother made for him when he was a child. Which means that Remy could have cooked anything else as long as the dish was in the cookbook. Making ratatouille specifically was therefore unnecessary.

Another clue that the choice to make ratatouille was "random" or at least not "predestined" as you imply, is that when Colette starts preparing the ratatouille, she scrupulously follows the recipe (most likely written by Gusteau since it was his restaurant), but Remy interrupts her and starts deviating from the recipe. This means that the ratatouille Anton eats at the end of the film is different from the one in Gusteau's recipe book, and therefore different from what his mother prepared for him as a child. If Remy had wanted to trigger a "Madeleine de Proust" at Anton, he would have followed Gusteau's recipe.

Remy knows that Anton is a prestigious culinary critic who has eaten in some of Paris's finest restaurants, tasting the most elaborate dishes (foie gras, caviar, lobster, duck breast, etc). Remy chose to make a rattatouille, or "a peasant dish" as Colette calls it, to remind him of a time when he simply enjoyed cooking, before he became a self-important person using food as a weapon to mock people.

I don't think Remy made a deliberate choice to make Ratatouille because he knew it was a dish Anton had eaten as a child. It was just luck mixed with the fact that the dish was exceptionally good (you can see Skinner reluctantly loving it). He did it because he knew Anton needed simplicity, which is more or less the moral of the film. Just as a simple rat can be an excellent cook, a simple ratatouille can be an excellent dish.

I assume its because Ratatouille, or Confit Byaldi, is a peasents dish made of sliced vegetables in sauce, and Ego seems to have grown up poor given the look of the house. A dish made of tomato and aubergine would be very cheap to make as the ingredients can be grown, so he would have eaten it often growing up
