"The knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, all on a summer's day."
If this is the kind of tart he stole, I'd say crime does pay.

When Max says it’s the best thing he has made, you HAVE to run, not walk, to the grocery store. And I can confirm, it is PHENOMENAL! I added whipped cream on it. It was a huge hit with friends.

The fact that he was committed enough to attempt to grow his own berries. This is a fantastic channel, gotta admire the work ethic and production value

I spent years growing strawberries as a teen and learned that you can control size by controlling the runners. Keep them trimmed back and you got bigger berries. Let them spread freely and you got smaller berries. If you want more plants you let a runner root then cut the stem attaching it to the parent plant.

The smaller wild ones are still a thing, and they taste great. And by far better than most of the mostly just good looking cultivated ones. Just collecting them is a big pain in your backside.

That one subdued "... Y'all" 16:08 just tells you that this was a winner without needing to say anything else.

Fun fact. The “seeds” on the outside of strawberries are actually the botanical fruits called achenes, and there is a single seed inside all of the achenes.

[TLhikan]

Honestly, a smaller, sweeter strawberry sounds way better than what we get from the store today.

My garden is overgrown with those tiny strawberries. I never thought of making a tart, though. I usually pick and eat them while weeding or grooming the roses. Which, I just realise, sounds far more romantic than it actually is.

Hi, Brit here. My grandma made strawberry tarts with this exact technique (barring the saffron) throughout my childhood. She'd also occasionally add a layer of homemade strawberry jam to the bottom as well! Goes well with crème fraiche and mint or a little Chantilly cream.

[MelanthaStr]

Fun fact: Not only Julius de Berry was renamed Fraise, after the Fraise, but his great-father is believed to be named Chantilly, which is a sweet whipped cream often eaten with strawberries ^^

I just want to comment on the comments section in every single one of Max's videos: you guys are consistently so wholesome and so welcoming, sharing stories of your family's histories and foods, or just bring super friendly! It's such a wonderful place to be on the Internet and i appreciate you all 💜

[PoppycockPrincess]

This has got to be the definition of a happy accident.

[HeyNonyNonymous]

"And then the only thing you're growing is strawberries." I fail to see the problem.

[camerongunn]

The way he said, "Y'ALL!" Every southerner's ears perked up.😂😂👍

[cinnamonbeardstud]

The name of this dish is the best insult I've ever heard and I can't wait to use it. Don't patronize me you TUDOR STRAWBERRY TART!

[maudline]

In Denmark, we call the smaller wild variant “forest strawberry” and our literal name for them is “earth berry”. As a child, I always put them on a thin straw/grass and ate them like a kebab 😅🍓

[jameslovelady]

On a business trip in Brussels in a fancy restaurant (the boss was paying) I had "Fraise du Bois Chantilly ". Tiny wild strawberries and whipped cream. Still remember that luxury 49 years later.

It turns out I am drastically more likely to sit through the advertisement when you have just proven that not only are the subtitles top notch but that someone has taken the time to care about how they are placed within the video so that they don't sit over the top of in video text. Thank you so much for that care and attention.

[Foolish]

My neighbor gets upset with me for not mowing the "weeds" in my lawn. Wild strawberries, chickweed, blue violets, green amaranth, etc. Yum!
