"Less than upright fashion"... what a... phrase. Gotta start using that.

Definitely cook something if you can find a recipe from Max that doesn’t break the bank, I’d love to hear your experiences as well as Max’s.

im so here for the defence of bread and cheese. love bread and cheese.

Definitely check out one of Max's earliest vids about making Garum. That isn't his first but it's the one where the channel really started to take off.

Not late for this one. I don't know why Darkrai specifically, but he tends to have a Pokémon plush that somewhat can be related to the topic in the background. Always found it nice.

On the value of a medieval penny: A Pound is shorthand for one Tower Pound (350g) of Sterling Silver, 240 pence makes a pound, and one pence of sterling silver in weight is defined as "32 grains from the center of an ear of wheat" (~1.5g). The Assize of Bread and Ale ruling fixes the price of bread to whatever the price of wheat is. If a "quarter" (~240L) of wheat sells for 12p, one fourth penny buys a loaf of top-quality white bread weighing 5.6 lbs. If that same measure of wheat is worth a whole pound, a quarter-penny only buys 4 ounces of that bread. The Canterbury Tales was written somewhere between 1387-1400. According to the table of wheat prices from an Oxford estate on page 80 of Journal of Political Economy vol 1 by Thorstein B. Veblen, within those 13 years wheat was as cheap as 32p per "quarter" in 1394, to 120p (half pound of silver) in 1390, probably a famine year. On the next page of that book, wool from a Wiltshire estate averaged 66p per "tod" (21 lbs? dunno if modern units, way too many definitions of pound) during that same period. To repeat what Max said: a "wine gallon" (~5/6 of a modern gallon) of common Gascony red wine cost 3p per gallon, which was already double the price of top quality ale, and Rhenish wine cost 6-8p per "gallon". So if those prices were consistent during that period, a "gallon" of Gascony wine is worth six pounds of white bread in 1390. Cut down, a 5 oz glass of common wine is worth a little more than 4.5 ounces of quality bread during a famine year. If any nerds read this, let me know if I got anything wrong

i didn't comment when i first saw this upload, but this is such a good episode to react to. there are so many fascinating topics and time periods covered by max's channel, i am glad you like it so far ryan!

I think we have to return with the trebuchet thing, with CEO´s of companies that make bad beer today

im Dutch and i live in a world where we call Eggs. "Eiren"

Flesh be enough basically means cooked through (fully cooked)
