Check out these other interesting Medieval recipes:

[jakecavendish]

We used to make these in primary school every year on her saint's day, we called them Bingen biscuits and we'd eat them after lunch, apart from the last one which would be fed to the classroom hamster by the youngest child while we listened to a casette of some of her music. I think the school still does it but not sure

[TheSerpit]

Native Viennese here, enjoy the city! I also know for a fact that the National Library, apart from just being amazing to look at, has old books on medieval cookery containing some... interesting recipes.

Hildegard was a remarkable woman, solidly faithful, and someone whose life bears study. This is a wonderful way to introduce her to today’s world.

[agimagi]

When I was small I used to live close to Eibingen and I always thought she was so cool!

[lynwoodm]

Can we get an April Fool's episode where Jose hosts? Love the stuff, keep it up :)

[RazorOProductions]

Yay! Thank you for doing a video on Saint Hildegard and our beloved Catholic nuns. We love her and them so!

[shabo]

I hope you're feeling better about your cat, Max. The fact that you keep working despite the loss is very telling of your strength and tenacity

[HerLadyship]

Yay! A Tasting History and Drinking History in one episode!

[elizabethhubble]

Yay! I’m teaching Hildegard in two weeks in one of my classes and I’m totally showing this video! Thank you!

[beatrixturrentine]

So, the nervenkeks is made with spelt flower, ground finely, and with Butter and honey. Hildegard loves Butter and cream. Oh, and the wines are wonderfull. Mske them all the time. Oh, you should boil the wine, to loose the Alkohol.

[serenetiv]

Kinda funny, I never knew she had visions or wrote music... she's more known for her herbal knowledge, medicine and recipes were I'm from. But I'm also not catholic and did not grow up in a very religous family.
I love your pronounciation of the CH, not many Americans do that right.

[MorkyMuffin]

Somehow reminds me of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a Mexican nun from the XVII century that is famous for her poetry bu also wrote a couple cook books.

Not many thing in common besides that, but her story is equally interesting, at least to me

[LAVirgo]

Loved this video! I'm a big fan of St. Hildegard of Bingen. This past summer I was able to visit St. Hildegard of Bingen's church & relics in Germany. Brought home some of her spirits, which I purchased at a healing center that promotes her health writings. The Rhine River Valley is so beautiful.

[brookechang]

Awesome video, Max! For any who are curious, the language Hildegard developed is called the "lingua ignota".

Incidentaly, the music of Hildegard von Bingen is not to be confused with the bardcore artist Hildegard von Blingin', who is here on YouTube.

[KlaraL-_-]

I absolutely love anything about medieval nuns, they´re always so interesting, and I knew about Hildegard, but not about her recipes (or opinions on eye-colour or strawberries)! This was so interesting!!

[telzeyamberdon]

Oh this is perfect! In my Greco-Roman-inspired fantasy I have a character drinking violatium, which I found in the Apicius cookbook. Now I know how to describe the flavor :) I already have the conditum paradoxum (spiced holiday wine) in another scene thanks to one of Max's previous videos. Do be warned, I read that in large quantities violet wine has a laxative effect, so drink in moderation, etc.

[DevynCairns]

Hey Max, if you wanna try fresh galangal in something, it's pretty common at places that have south east Asian groceries. It's especially common in Thai cuisine.

I've never tried dried galangal but I imagine just like with ginger, the difference between dried and fresh is pretty large. Fresh galangal has kind of a spicy, citrusy, woodsy flavor. Personally I think it tastes like if you took ginger and pushed it somewhat in the direction of sichuan peppercorn or sansho, though not so strong.

[tiger.wolf.]

I have all her music, and books about her, her work and life. The last one I bought came with CDs and her drawnings and the explanation of her visions. What amazes me is that her visions from Heavens match the description of two friends of mine who had seen Heavens and told me about it -- they even gave me their notebooks to read about their visions and learn. Her vision of the souls in Heavens that appear here in this video is also a match to what Vassula Ryden saw, when Jesus took her there for a visit. I truly believe Hildegard was divinely inspired and till today her prophecies become reality. She's amazing and her music is perfection. May God bless her and may she interced for us from Heavens.

Max had to film this just after an arm and shoulder workout! GUN SHOW!💪
