if i was Marie i would have left him long time ago 💀, idk why she always insist they went together or stay together... that's her downfall for being loving
@@gaymalewitch you dum az have half naked man as your profile picture! also Marie isn't trying to divorce him you dimwits. The ministers all advised Marie and the Royal heir to leave France and seek refuge in Austria when all the noble and Aristocrat scramble to get out of France, she refused to do so! even when they escaped, she also refused to use 2 carriages so they won't suspect it was the royal family, she insisted that they all travel together, yes it's called being loving. just shut up if you literally are so uneducated, you don't even know what you are talking about! go back to your weird por..no
@@angelabby2379 girl she was ambitious she needed him with her so they could restore france's monarchy when they returned with a foreign army, but louis needed a snack.
@@ussinussinongawd516 ... uh what💀 Marie didn't need him since she already has her son, the future king! and what Louis XVI gotta do? she didn't need him at all, the ministers literally adviced her to take the dauphin out to Austria and perhaps strike a deal with her nephew so the austrian descend on france and crushed it and put the dauphin back on the throne with her nephew's daughter as Queen of France. Marie refused! she wouldn't leave her husbands, this happen multiple times even the last escape attempt.... when her lover axel von fersen advise for them to go separately you are so uneducated, pls shut up next time
According to family legend, I have an ancestor who, in her 90s, decided she was too old to eat food she didn’t like anymore, so she ate nothing but toast and chocolate until her death.
My mom and my aunt were the same way: they watched everything they ate for all their lives, and when they hit their 80s, they were like, "It worked! Where's the ice cream?"
The freaky part about Marie Antoinette was not only was she thrust into spotlight at a very young age but that there would be courtiers watching the Royal Couple like it’s a Reality TV Show minus the TV.
There's a really sweet story of a young Marie-Antoinette and Mozart running around one of the Habsburg palaces hand-in-hand getting into trouble together when they were seven or so. Marie-Antoinette, who was a nice-but-dim girl who loved music, said she wanted to marry Mozart instead of some boring old prince.
They shipped in her brothers to investigate why there was no offspring, their report to their mom includes that the king had rather excellent erections but he only put it in once then wished the queen a good night and rolled around to sleep, the closing words of the report contains 'diletants'.
I like to eat sweets when stressed so I completely understand Marie. What do you expect a 15 year old to do alone in a foreign country? She wasn’t even allowed to mention her home country or family.
If I was the wealthiest 15 year old in Europe and I could have my own personal pastry chef and chocolatier, I would be hitting those guys up constantly.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah yeah and then she was 16, 17, and THEN 18. Still all in the teens. Even today, having a kid at 19 is still considered a teen pregnancy by medical standards. I can’t defend her past that though
A lot of the dislike she elicited at the french court actually comes from the fact that one, she was unfamiliar with the culture and two, she was still a teenager and no amount of training could have prepared her for the role of Dauphine of France. So it seems only logical she would have had troubles navigating the intricacies of french etiquette and offended some people. Besides, she would have been accustomed to having a lot of privacy at the court of Vienna, which was absent at the french court, where the royal family was constantly exposed. Her relationship with Louis XVl didn't start well, but they grew fond of one another and Louis gifted her a private mansion called Le petit Trianon where she could be alone, because he knew how much she valued her solitude. Sadly it only increased the French court's distrust in her and further tarnished her reputation because it was said she entertained lovers there.
I also think that when people have already decided to hate someone, they will get offended by everything the person does. She was not liked because people didn't like the alliance. She also probably didn't know how to "people-please" the aristocracy in a way that they may have wanted (you know, giving them favors)... That's enough for people to taint your reputation... Maybe if she was alive in this era, she would have been seen as a role model for valuing her personal space, not letting her boundaries crossed, etc.
it really had more to do with the fact that she was Viennese. The French did NOT want an alliance with vienna and so, she as the symbol and literal cause of that alliance took the brunt of it. Also the people and the revolution needed a scape goat. She didn't do any of the things they convicted her of, such as incest with her child, adultery, and all the other crazy accusations they made. But it's easier to blame an outsider, a foreigner etc. So they killed her husband first because how dare he marry a viennese and then they killed her because they were afraid the people would rally around her. So many people tried to save her. Even Thomas Jefferson who was ambassador at the time and his wife, the English royalty, etc. Her husband was a royal idiot as well as incompetent and he is why they were all killed. The children were later starved to death. Granted the change to democracy that followed the revolution was good, but the way it was done was horrible. It was a horrible time in french history.
Hearing how medication was mixed with chocolate reminds me of when my mom was going through chemo, she suffered some really bad side effects from the treatments and needed some very strong pain killers, but they tasted awful so it made it difficult to take. So I would mix her painkillers into chocolate pudding for her and it made it far easier for her to take. My mom probably didn't care much for how the pudding tasted with the medication, but she loved chocolate so I think she tolerated it because she knew I would give her unadulterated pudding after she ate the medicted one. I kinda wish I knew about the medicated chocolate Marie Antoinette ate, I think my mom would have found it amusing to be served the same chocolate a queen ate.
I am sorry about your dear mother, you seem like a very kind person and I am sure you were perfect when taking care of her, and that she wouldn't have wished anything to be different.
If she is still with you, you could always try to get or make some as a commemorative. If she is no longer with you, you could always try some in memoriam.
I'm so sorry about your mom. The way you write, it sounds like she didn't make it. May her memory be a blessing. 💖 I need to remember this tip for later. Thank you!
I mean, imagine all of us subscribers gathering around Max and watching him eat, heaving sighs at every micro expression. So happy we can do all that from the comfort of our homes.
He's like the classical music radio station personalities but for food! (They always have impeccable pronunciation of the composers and piece names, regardless of the language).
He probably consulted at least two different native speakers and practiced for several hours. Max takes great pride in his pronunciation. It really is admirable, especially with some of the more esoteric ones.
To be a 100% perfect, he should have rolled the r in Maria Theresia in the back. But I'm always really impressed with Max' pronunciation, and there are enough Austrians who aren't able to do this very minute detail.
French Chopin, liquide= 0.465 liters (15.72 oz) Septier is an alternative term for a Chopin. And in case you're wondering (which I know you're not), a 1/2 chopin is called a tasse, and a 1/2 tasse is called a demiard. There are other units of measure also called chopins, just to needlessly complicate everything. The Chopin sèche (dry chopin) is equivalent to 0.55 liters, and the Scottish "chopine" is 0.848 liters (because Scots could hold their whiskey way better than those fufu Frenchmen). Tune in for the next Episode of Drinking History as Max explores other archaic liquid measuring units like the gill and the Scottish mutchkin!
@@SombreroPharoah One more clarification: Don't confuse a chopin/chopine (unit of measure) with the chopine, a shoe with an elevated heel popular in France between the 14th and 16th centuries.
"Since they're for a queen, I'm gonna do swirls". I've been there, Max. 😉 I like that the recipes together are two whole eggs and two egg whites, and you can use the remaining yolks for something else. And I love chocolate, so that's also a plus!
As usual, Max Miller did a really good job of learning the proper pronunciation of names and places. Such a pleasure to hear. I live in Varennes (Québec) and Max just said the name naturally and properly. I wonder if the "Viennese bread" to which Marie-Antoinette was said to be accustomed was in fact a Danish. What English speakers call a Danish is called a Viennoiserie (which we might translate as "something typically from Vienna") in French, a word which also designates other types of bread-like pastries. To add to this hypothesis, in Denmark the "Danish" is called a "Viennese bread".
Max is very good at accents and seems to spend a lot of time practising to get them right. Except with ERBS. I am going to start a petition to lobby Max to add back the H.
@@FireflyOnTheMoon what if I told you that people only started saying the H in herbs in Britain in Victorian times, and the “American” pronunciation is how we said it for a long time in the UK? Essentially it’s a byproduct of the Victorian moral panic around the working classes dropping their H-es (such as “‘ow you doin?”), and so the toffs started adding them back in even where they were never present before!
@@ragnkja Oh well, so much for my clever hypothesis. I'll drown my sorrow with one of my wife's homemade doughnuts. They're not Danish and they're not Viennese, but they are still very good.
Stephanie from Chateau Diaries did a video on hot chocolate in France during that time and even mentioned that at her country house in Versailles, Marie Antoinette had a special pot that was used for making hot chocolate. Pretty fascinating stuff. I definitely need to make these recipes. Thanks Max!
I swear Max needs to do a pop up restaurant like a traveling historical kitchen going around to.ghost kitchen or a traveling food trucks with historical foods and entertaining historical facts.
@@TastingHistory At least some still had enough conscience to take the one who coerced the son into accusing her to the guillotine himself when they realized just what he had done.
@@slwrabbits Basically tortured one son to falsely accuse her of molestation so they could kill her. Her last words were begging her (Unbeknownst to her already dead) husband to keep the kids safe. Nobody cheered. "Let them eat Cake" may well have been constructed/reemphasized after the fact as PR to cover for the whole "executing a caring mother" thing. Then they let the boy waste away thinking his mother wasn't visiting because she hated him for breaking under torture and making up lies about her.
I'm French, and I must say, hearing you saying "crème de chocolat" with your soft and elegant accent (really good, in fact) makes the whole video even more enjoyable !
Would be so cool if you dove into the history of Danish 'Risengrød' or 'Risalamande'. It's a classic Christmas Rice porridge dish both savory and sweet!
Risengrød is rice porridge (made with milk) and risalamande is a dessert made from rice cooked in milk, with sugar, finely minced almonds and almond extract stirred in while still warm. This is refrigerated overnight, then whipped cream is folded in. It is served with a red cherry sauce spooned on top.
@@anitapaulsen3282 I used to make rice pudding at Christmas time every year. My family is Swedish American, and we still maintain some of the food traditions.
It's interesting how stories even some time after her death were at best gossip. And this recipe reminds me of the chocolate mousse and French silk combination I make for a death by chocolate dessert.
Thank you so much for not leaving us to Disney! I know they miss you but we would miss you more! You bring joy to history and food lovers everywhere and your voice is like a warm cup of hot cocoa.
I often wonder what the post was that Max left at Disney. I know he has mentioned working cruises. But I’m not sure that was the position he left during the pandemic. I too am glad he provides us these wonderful videos!
@@helensernett9477 this is the video where he talks about leaving Disney (the title was a bit of a fake-out because many first assumed he was quitting Tasting History): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jHpkqBFKmvA.html
Great episode! I appreciate that you looked at all the stories about Marie Antoinette with a pinch of salt; almost everyone writing about her at the time (or shortly after her death) had an agenda and we need to remember that. For anyone interested in learning more about her, the book Queen of Fashion is FANTASTIC. It’s almost forensic in how much detail it goes into, but it’s still a very fascinating read and not at all dry. I highly recommend it!
@@GrammarSplaining Because Europeans often don't put salt in desserts. That seems to be more of an American thing? Not sure. (It certainly does subtly improve pastry in my experience, but I would not put it in anything like these either.)
I read a book on Wattpad called The Minister of Fashion, about Rose Bertin, Marie's dressmaker and considered the first fashion designer. It also tells the story of Marie's hairstylist Leonard Autie, who was the first celebrity hairstylist. Really good read.
Beautiful desserts! So glad that you included how to fix seized chocolate. I hear from so many people that their chocolate seizes and they just throw it out. It makes me sad because it can be fixed by adding a little fat, like you mentioned.
Fun fact! I live in France and you can go into any grocery store and buy ready made crème au chocolat made only with eggs, milk, cream and sugar. They come in little glass jars with a gold foil lid on top. It's lovely! so pure and so delicious! Now i'm going to think about poor marie antoinette every time I eat one.
A tale of Two Cities is my favourite Dickens book, so I found this fascinating. Just recently I watched a video here on yt about Marie Antionette's children, and what happened to them. It made me so sad. I think history has not been kind to her, and she wasn't monstrous, as she is often depicted. It's true that the victors write history, and it often is far more nuanced than what we are presented with. Thanks for all the wonderful work you do, bringing history to life.♥
The way you said the name of the dish was absolutely on point, you can tell you work damn hard at not just the research but also the pronunciation and learning the culture of origin of the dish.
A video about Marie Antoinette, one of my fave historical figures, the day before my birthday? Sweet! Thank you Max, I've loved your videos since I first watched the garum episode!
Again Max, one of the reasons I love your show is because of the attention to detail you put in to it. And again, I appreciate the fact that you take the time to pronounce whatever language with precision and clarity. Great recipe, great history lesson.
Love your uploads, I always watch them with my wife on my lunch break and we always look forward to them. You probably get alot of suggestions but might I suggest making a video on the dish Casabe. It's a dish from the Taino and in Isla de Mona (Puerto Rico) it is thought that they were the only ones to not be forced to get gold since they liked it alot and didn't have bread.
@@TastingHistory Here's a good video on it, hope you've been practicing your Spanish 😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cp6eqIM9oKM.html
I’ve heard that she loved children so much that she sponsored many orphans and offered them the opportunity to get education to give them a chance at a good life
Regarding the sobriety of Marie Antoinette: Is it possible she was _offered_ wine at dinner and with her "en case" more or less as a matter of _custom_ (it is _France,_ after all), but that she'd never or only rarely actually _drink_ it?
Perhaps she just had the rationality to avoid drinking during a very public dinner with everyone watching who could turn a slightly drunken mistake against her.
That's what made the most sense to me. She was probably VERY careful to appear very ladyl-ike, and keep her poise and class at such a public dinner. Adinner like that had to be an appearance, an event, even a show, as much as a chance to simply eat. To turn into a giggling little lush, or to put on a spectacle of gluttony would have been gauchè. You can always eat and have a little warmer later, before bed. Also, the chamber maid said "Sobriety", not abstinence. Maybe she just had clear ideas about her limits.
@@stephenballard3759 I was wondering about the "sobriety". The other thing is, of course, that it's a translation and the translation may well have been done with a bias of its own so it would be interesting to know what the original said and what range of meanings it may cover.
More than her last meal, I’ve always been interested in Marie Antoinette’s last words: “Pardonnez-moi, monsieur.” as she bumped into someone on the way to the guillotine.
The French Revolution was an awful thing! The populace destroyed so much history and culture in their misguided/stupid attacks. Long live the Royalty & Nobility!
Oh that was Charles-Henri Sanson, the royal executioner. Apparently the Sanson family had the Executioners of Paris since his great-grandfathers time. He was also instrumental in the adoption of the guillotine. The more you know~~~
Max Miller, you have been awesome. Exactly the channel I was looking for a few years back. I love traditional foods, but do not have the wherewithal to try and read some of the real old cook books. Thank you, and I'll keep copycatting a lot of these recreations you do!
My family’s Kifli recipe is about 110yrs old, and whenever we made Kifli my grandparents would have it with their coffee every morning. Kifli can be filled with basically anything, I prefer apricot and strawberry but there are nut mixtures that are delicious and a bit more savory if that’s your preference. They really do taste very good at breakfast and with coffee or tea… 👀
On an unrelated note, Abby Cox had a video on gifting ideas and one of the RU-vidrs featured mentioned your book and how they loved the channel. Thought you’d like to know.
13:11: Kipferl is widespread around the whole ex-Habsburg Empire. It's usually eaten with butter, but because this use makes quite bit of mess, we usually just dip it in coffee or chocolate milk. We also do it with many other types of pastry, like sweet bread, croissants, etc. The main point is to not make a big mess.
If you put a towel u der the bowl while using the handmixer it will keep it from moving when adding things to the mix. I absolutely love your channel and tell everyone. Hubby and i have made several recipes, the parthian chicken my baby girl absolutely loves and she is such a picky eater. Can't wait for the book!
One of things I most appreciate about your channel is the background music. Not only do you keep the volume down so we can hear you, but it's always classical (or Baroque, or Renaissance, or...) as befits a historical presentation. Thank you!!
The chocolate cremeux had recently been making the rounds on Instagram,lol. Basically what people in the South call a chocolate "boiled" custard with solid chocolate added to it instead of cocoa powder
Yay ! Max feeds us chocolate ! Max feeds us chocolate ! And tells people the fake saying is fake ! Dunno which I should be grateful for more ! You really are a blessing to all the internet folks Max ! Don't remember finding a channel so delighting and so useful as yours in many months, years maybe. It really makes waiting for your episodes a joy, like waiting for Santa and presents back then, when you still had dreams of great presents each year, not just new face cream and socks. What surprises me in the recipe is that they are calling for "setting the biscuits on sheets of paper", was there baking paper used then, at XVIII century ? Thought it's a pretty recent invention, and all the previous generations had to rely on greased tins and pans.
Max, sir, by god you've done it again! How do you manage to make such incredibly entertaining food content while still appealing to us history nerds? 😁
Thank you!!!!! Marie never said “let them eat cake” most people who know about her quote her as saying that but she never did. It’s refreshing to hear someone get it right when going over her history! I feel she didn’t stand a chance though, she was never fully welcomed by the french people and then she was used as a reason for the people to get upset with their monarchs at the time in hopes that they would want to overthrow their government. Louis and Marie were children when they got married and were very young when they started their reign. They made mistakes and they paid for it. I still love the history of Marie for being relatable in a time of so much pressure to perform and carry out her royal duties. She was in a foreign country, no family, no friends, married to a stranger who wouldn’t consummate their marriage over being naive and young himself. Everyone watching and scrutinizing her every move. She had no real authority making abilities or decision making authority so she used her time and money on fashion and amusing herself with projects like her little cottage and partying. Louis listened to bad advice from those around him, wanting to help the Americans by sending aide when his own people in France were starving. So Marie was used as propaganda in order to get the people upset and want to riot in the streets. I feel for her because she was forced into a world being so young and they both made big mistakes based on their youth and they paid the ultimate price with their lives, very sad but I remember them for being relatable, for handling the pressure around them regardless, for trying their best while being so naive. For sticking together until the very end. I feel for them and choose to remember them only for the good rather then remembering them for their mistakes.
The desire for eating to be a private matter is a particularity that I deeply sympathize with. Most sounds produced by eating can have a negative effect on auditory-tactile synesthesia. I have to pull my earbuds out and use subtitles for cooking videos when it gets to the eating portion. High quality mics pick up every juicy snap and squish and it makes me feel as if my skulk were full of bugs. Fun times. 😸
You should do a live cooking video, even if you have to read history off of a script, I think it would be absolutely amazing! Not to mention there could be tonnes of fan engagement while things cook in the oven or while they boil!
8:57 when you learn that some monarchies had an audience to witness the consummation of their wedding night to ensure it was legit, being watched while eating doesn’t seem anywhere near as bad by comparison 😓
They did this in versailles too for a while I believe. The whole thing was a weirdly public spectacle. She had to be dressed in public as well, and there were no toilets in versailles so courtiers would just have to kind of pee in front of everyone into these travelling commode thingies which servatns would bring.
Most of the time the marriage wasn’t actually consummated on that occasion. The couple would be very publicly tucked up in bed together and sometimes greeted the next morning, but most of the time the marriage wouldn’t be consummated until later. In the case of Marie Antoinette and Louis much, much later. Since royal couples usually lived in separate apartments the whole thing was a bit of theater, a way to keep one of the parties involved from getting the marriage annulled after the wedding so they could back out of whatever treaty they signed and start courting someone else.
Beautiful. This is not my historical area, so I learned a lot, and I was glad to hear that you *did* point out that Marie couldn't have said that as it was written before she was born.
she never said such thing... no one really tell her whats going on since she didn't really have power or authority her only job is to produce male heir... and spend money as Queen
She never said either. Both would indicate the same thing: That she was incredibly isolated and not very intelligent. In reality, of course she knew about the financial crisis occurring. That’s why Louis reinstated the popular finance minister Turgot who was unfortunately unable to assist adequately.
When you're using two levels of your oven at the same time, it's best practice to place the top one in first in case there's any gunk stuck to the grate that gets shaken off in the process. If you place the bottom one first, you get an unwanted seasoning.
I can’t quite remember but I’ve watched this show since it was between 40 and 50,000 and the fact that it’s at 1.5 million and growing is literally awesome and well deserved 👍🏻 🤩
I’d love to see an episode on satura: a fruitcake used as field rations for the Roman troops! It’s GOT to be better than hardtack! Love your show!!!❤️✨✨✨✨
I have been watching these videos every day while eating my dinner or lunch and it is so fascinating to see and hear how things used to be like. Learning about feasts and beverages people had and how, well... People have been the same all this time. Yes, we got some more rules and defined new morals, but deep inside the core, we are all the same to some degree. We are happy about some cookies or hearty meals, unhappy when given bitter medicine... Some are overachievers, some in the middle and some lazy or aloof... To hear that we have been the same all this time, makes me feel more connected to these people in the past. Thanks for this video!
The crème du chocolat, based on the ingredients and cooking method, is a from-scratch pudding (in the US sense of “pudding”), which in my family gets called custard to distinguish it from the store bought or mix kinds of pudding.
Oh, yeah, I forgot that Max didn't eat his recipes on camera in old videos. He described the taste and his thoughts, but didn't show him eating. It's kinda funny thinking that people wanting to watch royals eat as odd, but here we were thinking it weird that Max wasn't eating on camera for us 😂
U might already know this, but there was a custom at the time in which a newly Wed couple would go up to the bedroom after the wedding accompanied by the royal Court. The court would watch as the couple consummated the marriage.
I mean, I find it perfectly normal to expect a cooking presenter to eat on camera (though I didn't find it odd when he didn't), but I would find it very odd if we insisted on a president or prime minister doing so regularly. Meanwhile, I absolutely do expect a parliament to have cameras.
@@stephaniekrutzler7895 They didn’t necessarily watch the act itself, but the witnesses definitely them getting into bed together, and pulled the blanket over the couple. A dozen witnesses for that was totally normal. And obviously, the door to the bridal chamber was guarded throughout the night, so they must have _heard_ them.
What happened to her and her son who was forced to falsely accuse her makes me wish for a time machine and several machineguns to deal with the revolution.
@@DIEGhostfish Especially considering how Robespierre was probably the closest thing that history got to a supervillain in terms of mannerism and impact on society. The guy's rule was literally called "The Reign of Terror" ffs.
You made me truly cry, Max! Oh my gosh, Max is a hero with this!!!! I am a huge fan of the actual Marie Antoinette; she's oft maligned in art and the letters which the aristocracy wrote of her and the King doing unnamable acts was (and still is) so despicable in print, that the Museum in which they are stored refuses to show them. One must ask permission before seeing them. Her and Louis both have so much defamation unjustly put on them. I hope that people can do their own research and cure themselves of repeated lies and slander. Louise was unpopular and truly hated by the other royalty since he took the reigns and slack and was making them both PAY and reducing their salaries (so to speak)...and so these people stirred up the Common people-who were already duly hurting from the LAST King (who was TERRIBLE). The stuff that Max says that she was maligned with, was exactly for this reason. The other royalty were PISSED. There you have, the dreaded, horrific, Revolution. And France has never been the same. Thanks Max. You've really helped with an actual dream I have and dispelled especially that horrific 'let them eat cake'. You're awesome.
I loved this episode! You are such a delight to watch, Max. I often put a playlist of your clips and watch and listen to them while I embroider (is that even a noun in English? 😂) and I love your manner of speaking and presenting, always interesting and engaging. Also, fun fact, bere in Bulgaria we still have this Viennese pastry, Kifli, even the name is the same! They are sweet but a bit denser, like a sweet bread, crescent shaped and very often filled with jam and sprinkled with sesame or poppy seeds. As a child, before school, I often ate ones with rosehip jam. Still love them to this day. Keep up the good work 🐱
Thank you! I loved this! I have a weird obsession with her, and your history was well researched! I hadn't dove into her favorite food choices, and that was a sweet bonus!
I could definitely see Marie Antonette not liking to eat in front of a large group as she was probably still shy. I've been to Versailles and got to see Marie Antonette's village, a little german style village away from the castle where she could be away from the eyes of the court and I was told that she liked to play peasant when she was there. She was married off at the age of 14 if I remember correctly, and when she arrived in France she was expected to BE french. So much so that when she arrived they took her dog that came with her and replaced it with a french breed of dog. A little extra history for you. :)
I heard from Miss Manners that the coupe glass was designed so you could dip pastry into the champagne without it breaking off and forming a gelatinous mess at the bottom of the glass.
Interesting that Marie Antoinette had Kifli for breakfast! As a small child in Budapest (many years ago!) I had them for breakfast every morning. A few years ago my family visited Hungary, and they're still a very popular breakfast food there.
I'm currently in finals of my senior year and overdosing on tv and youtube to keep me going. Yours is one of the few youtube channels that can hold my interest at this point.
"Qu'ils manget de la brioche" A half baked statement From a princess But not that one The powdered sugar Or chocolate powder As much as would cake a face Facing the truths Hidden in the petit calomnie To cleanse my palate Something a little ruddier Than her preferred pink cheek A mirrored palace That felt so sweet Until it truly wasn't Piled high across fineries From handmaid gowns Sobriety of little biscuits and fine poultry Poundage of sugar Even when she drank her water The sweetest bread to start a morning Before she flew from danger Caught partially for a flight of fancy Her life has been mixed with salty stories Yet the truth is more complex And violently undone
Max has more people watch him eat on a regular basis than a French queen. That sounds like some kind of high tier middle school insult, but that didnt even cross my mind until he said it. That's pretty funny.
You need to note if your sponsors have products/services available in Canada. BTW - my wife and I watch your show every week. Love it👍 I’d love to see many more South Asian dishes with the accompanying history.
Sobriety doesn't always mean not drinking alcohol, it can just mean controlled in general terms. The misunderstanding probably comes from the English language not keeping the original meaning the latin word had, which is actually "temperance". I suppose the comment meant to say she had self control and ate in moderation, her meals also looked quite simple for royalty standards.
