"My boar guys-- and I have two--"
Things said by Max and also probably medieval cooks

[warandpoetry]

“They all drink it out of the same cup”

Fun fact: we Scottish have a thing called a Quaich, which is a ceremonial cup used to express kinship to others by sharing a drink from it. I never realised how ancient the tradition was.

[otterspotter]

I think it's great that you mentioned cumin. Some might not catch this. But for a very long time ago, back in the Roman era, the stanard seasoning was salt and cumin, not black pepper. Pepper lagged for centuries until we could trade for it. Romans put cumin on everything.

[emmag.]

So glad the Celts also had the same “dying hair blonde in the bathroom and frying it off” experience that I did in high school

[DeeMolition]

I cannot thank you enough for covering Gaul in your discussion!!!! I have a hard time convincing people that my French ancestors were as Celtic as their British ancestors!

[anfu]

"If you don't have a magic cauldron laying around, then any pot will do" is my new favorite Max quote.

[Tornroot]

I just wanted to say that you are one of the only people who can explain how a dish tastes, and I actually understand and appreciate the complexities of the flavours. Most people use generic terms, but you explain it in such an eloquent way.

[tierneykurfess]

The face I made when you said you had 2 boar guys was probably worth laughing at.

[Jen-iylq]

Oh my god Max. You did it. I'm both a home brewer and (novice) baker. I believe you have inadvertently handed me the key to lighter, looser crumb--ale barm. I duly credit you with further enabling my obsessive tendancies 😊

[epicsamurai]

The Gauls sure did love boar, though I do know of a small village in Armorica that preferred it roasted on the spit. They too, loved to fight a lot.

[EliotChildress]

Luckily for me, living in rural Japan means wild boar is always available. Unfortunately for me, living in rural Japan means pretty much all of the other ingredients are more or less impossible to get 😅

[BorkDoggo]

I learned recently that hazelnuts have been eaten in large quantities in Europe since the Mesolithic. It's thought that hunter gatherers cared for the hazel trees and cut down other species to weed them out, even before agriculture came from the fertile crescent. They apparently gathered huge amounts of nuts and stored them.

Love the timing of this, as the annual international Celtic festival of Avilés (Asturias, Northern Spain) has just sarted! I’ll give this recipe a go to celebrate 😁

[Semiotichazey]

What I love about food and cooking is that it's a gateway to so many fascinating disciplines: chemistry, biology, anthropology, psychology, and of course, history. What I love about this channel is how it explores those connections.

[williammattes]

I started watching your channel after my father passed away. I love cooking but when he died I went to a very low place. I stopped cooking or caring. It was then I started watching you, anb babish and I started wanting to try things. It helped to dive into my cooking to help me grieve. It provided an outlet for everything. So thank you for your wonderful videos

[PokhrajRoy.]

3:05 Let us all contribute to getting an enchanted cauldron for Max.

[greenmacaroni]

“That would be beer.” I swear you have the best delivery. You are such a joy to watch, Max Miller! Hugs to you and Jose. Julie 🥰

[aeolia]

I swear every time I learn something relatively historically true about the celts and or gauls, the more I'm convinced the writers of Aterix and Obelix had done a butt ton of research and knew their stuff 😂😂😂😂

[justinweiss]

Still patiently waiting for Max to make a Neolithic recipe extrapolated from cave paintings

[lizzykayOT]

It's so interesting to learn how the Celts lived. They're really underrated. This stew looks really hearty, and I love that it includes greens.
