I appreciate the effort put in to edit out the sponsor segments, so we don't have to rewatch them a lot during a long compilation of episodes.

Bless you, Max. I've been desperate for something different to fall asleep to. It's so kind of you to create playlists specifically to help people like me.

May I make an adjustment to some of these comments 😉
When people say they "Fall asleep to you" -Tasting History with Max Miller, I believe that your soothing voice, gentle cadence, and aversion to sudden loud cut-aways are almost magically calming to those with stress and/or anxiety....

I myself went through my Mothers death last year; and as her Executor, I had to face all the paperwork required head on while surrounded by memories of her.

Watching your videos was one of the few ways I could get calm enough to sleep. Really, such a godsend.....then I would check my watch history to see what I just HAD to rewatch.

So please, Max Miller, take those words as the complement they are.

Seconding the request for timestamps. While I love falling asleep to videos I’ve seen before so I’m not worried about missing out, there are some episodes I’ve seen more than others or remember more clearly than others and would prefer to skip while I’m still awake enough to notice I’ve heard it a million times 😅

"Cut to Aeneas eating pizza on the beach"- OSP Red

I looked up rue, and found out it is in Travarica, a strong herb liquor from Croatia.
It's the bottle with plants still in it, and the colouring is a light green-yellowish.
I didn't know up until now, but my guess would be the "weird" strong herbal taste in Travarica comes from rue.
There is also plenty other herbs in it, so I'm not quite sure about this.
Trava means grass, so Travarica means something like grassy (liquor).
You can also find store bought Travarica, but usually they removed the greens before bottling.
If you happen to know someone from there, ask them for a bottle of homemade Travarica, where the herbs are still in the bottle.

Beware! Not only is it very strong alcohol, it is also not everyone's cup of tea taste-wise.
Anyway, after a very fatty meal it calms down your belly. After lamb from the oven e.g., which is ultra fatty a shot of Travarica will help with digestion.

My very first time of cooking for my family was pork chops, green beans, hot rolls and fried apples

33:29 much like the medieval courts that would rise from the ashes of Rome, hosting a banquet was far more about making an impression than satisfying hunger.

The more money you had, the more extravagant you can be with what you have served to your guests. A good Roman host could have dozens of different dishes brought to the table.

A guest was expected to take only a small amount from every dish, and fill their stomach with a wide variety of foods instead of 1 dish like we are used to now.

If someone took too much, they were denying others the full experience that the host had intended to provide.

41:25 it’s like an ancient funnel cake, minus the powdered sugar

I watched your full videos when they come out but I love these mixes in the background while I’m playing a computer game or sleeping. Your voice is very soothing. I have PTSD and anxiety so it helps a lot!

The comment about "doctor of oboe" made me think of a scene in What's Up doc (a great comedy)
"Don't touch me, I'm a doctor!"
"Of what?"
"Music."
"Can you fix a hi-fi?"
"No."
"Then shut up."

Indian pizza, which is also popular in Africa, is made with curry sauce and goat meat.

I live near Bath (UK) and there seems to have been Ladies sessions at the Baths !!
At school we had deportment classes -- we had to know how to seat the guests at a diplomatic luncheon !!  Go get the Debretts !!

Could they be…truffles? With fruit? And cheese??? On FLATBREAD? OMG a restaurant could soar on this!

I would love to see some Scandinavian or Germanic recipes rather than more Italian , roman, or English . BTW, Facial hair or not , You cute Max . Just keep smiling !

Well, I tried to fall asleep to your videos, Max, but these are far too interesting. 😂

FYI... The "watch this" music at the very end is loud enough to wake someone. O_o

Thank you for all your hard work!
It kind of makes the thin pork steak I have thawed out in my fridge seem sad but I that's what I have so I will just have to deal with it! 😂
I just want you to know really appreciate all your hard work on these video's and support you the only way I can, ie I'm a subscriber and hit the like button on all of them that I watch!
You are very unique and I like that!
Sorry I am broke and can't do more to support you! 😢

I use a parchment for all my pizzas and they all pass the flop test.
