33. Tasting History Reads Mean Comments Part 2

Please don’t tell me I’m the only one who’d love to see HELL even pay to see the unedited hour long ramble😂❤️ though I do understand that keeping your videos short is how your able to post weekly

The mean comments and vinegar valentines cheer me up. It’s you and Jose just rolling with the off things that I enjoy.

Regardless of this specific post, thank you for your work. Love it! Also, an ally. ❤️ Keep on being brilliant!

Love Jose’s jumper!

I actually think it's funny when hardtack is in a video. I had to rewrite that multiple times to make it sound not weird...

Haters gonna hate. It is what it is. I’m a history nerd and I do cook. I just don’t have what it takes to do half of your things but I have, in fact, cooked at least three of your recipes. Maybe four. I did make ship’s biscuit/hard tack about 20 years ago. You should do a vid on Scotch Eggs.

So, I have had a rough few years since the start of the pandemic and a week before Christmas this year I finally had dental and my dentist recommended immediate removal of all my wisdom teeth. I'd been neglecting them because of lack of health insurance (yay US). If you remember I was the person that had forgotten to update my address for like six months and you received several RTSs on your mailers. Anyway, I had my wisdom teeth out and had a very bad reaction to the pain and antibiotics meds so much so that my doctor recommended to stop taking them nearly immediately. I lay on my living floor in extreme pain everyday for a week after work. The only piece of media that made me feel comforted /I was able to focus on and lessend the experience of the pain was yours. I have not watched this episode because I don't have the heart for it. I just don't want to see you get torn up even though I am sure you handle the criticism with endearing wit. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I cherish your videos, and they have demonstrably improved my experience of living on this spinning rock.

You look like your farts would smell like egg rolls. Boom roasted… please don’t block me a philosopher already did on here after I asked him out on a date and I don’t know if I can take anymore.

You're a good sport Max, but I hope you don't take any of these to heart. You're great! Have watched every episode!

Never lose the “clack clack!” I want a shirt with that on it! Please!! ♥️

I think an unedited episode would be highly entertaining for your supporters :D

We just finished updating our kitchen. We didn't have backsplash but I loved Max's new tiles so much that we got that style in a different color. The videos always inspire and educate me creatively, and it's not limited to the cooking!

Rose water - almost any liquor store, online shopping, most grocery stores unless you live in a two stop-sign town... lol. So my husband asks me on the regular, "is Max on your list?" "Honey, he doesn't swing my way..." "Ohhhhh. right!"

I love the history of food - it provides the most accessible pathway into the lives not only of the rich and famous, but of the ordinary people. What people ate, how they cooked it and where, what equipment they used, what techniques and the context of their lives in history are all fascinating. That you try the recipes and comment on them is a bonus. I bought your cookbook for my husband for Christmas. Keep doing what you do, the channel is a favourite in this household in Tasmania. Happy Christmas!

Those "mean comments" and your responses had me laughing out loud! ... *clackclack*

People think you ramble? I think your videos are very concise and to-the-point! (That said as a fellow rambler I would TOTALLY watch the heck out of Tasting History: The Extended Cut.)

These are so mild for youtube. Hahaha. I think you know how the hard tack clip goes down from all of us in the audience in Berkeley double clapping after you said the word. I suspect it happened at other stops too.

How very dare they! Tasting History videos are always a highlight of my day/week! Merry Christmas, Max & José!

As always, Max, your videos are my Tuesday morning treat (or, in this case, my Monday afternoon treat)! And given that as of this afternoon (12/23/24) your Sugar Plums video is at 2.2 million views and still climbing, you will NEVER need to try to make them again ... you could afford to hire a platoon of chefs to tackle the recipe. Merry Christmas to you, Jose, and your cat companions.

Why TF is Patreon is showing me this video AI-dubbed to German? I had to go to YouTube to get it in English.

I know the point is the history, but the recipes, even the horrible ones, make it *fun*—and heck, your channel got me to make Parmesan ice cream (which i never would otherwise have even imagined existing), and it's totally amazing!

I've tried a bunch of the recipes in themed dinners and they were a huge success. A few of the ingredients required some searching, but they were fine. Anyhow, I never thought TH to be a cooking channel. Recipes are a means to connect to an historical period or event. It is fun to try some, yet that's not the focus.

If your accents are bad, then the sun is blue. Can't really understand such a statement. Maybe a Klingon viewer?

Laughed out loud at the “all my fingers” - AI generation has a lot of potential but it needs to work on anatomy.

I love the interlude of the hard tack clacking. I think if you leave it out, you'd get an uproar of asking for it back. xD Also I can get rose water at Wal-Mart. Heck, I've seen at TJ Maxx. I used it for the first time in the 1990s when I made a recipe from Redwall.

There's nothing wrong with your voice. I'm incapable of "putting up with" someone's bad voice. If you had one, I wouldn't watch. That person is just miserable.

Please don't ever stop using the hard tack clip. It's so deep in my mind that when I hear/see the words "hard tack" ANYWHERE that clip plays in my mind 🤣

Thanks for the history and recipes, like you I prefer the history. I have only made two recipes so far even though I want to make more, too lazy. I have made the raspberry shrub numerous times, it is really good in the summer, I live in Pensacola Florida. I have also made the Eggnog twice, last Christmas and this Christmas, so tasty. Thanks Max, have a very Merry Christmas and a blessèd New Year!

I love the history, enjoy your comments on the recipes, and definitely stay for the rambling! merry christmas :)

I'm curious what recipe that 2nd comment was referring to.

My only mean comment is that the cruise is so long from now and I am ready for a long vacation now, 🛫🚢 🛬 P.S. The rambling you leave in is often when you are being humorous and I for one would sorely miss it.

Accents are fabulous and I don’t think I will EVER get tired of the hard tack insert. But now I kind of want to see an unedited rambling video! (As a fellow rambler, I enjoy the rambling. It’s how my brain works!)

I just watched part 1 again last week. So funny! I was hoping for a part 2! Thanks for my Christmas present! 😁🎄
