What it was like to visit a Medieval Tavern

Here the knife I talk about: www.oldworldironworks.net/ And here's the Odin's Skull Mead I mentioned - bit.ly/maxmead

Fun fact, somewhat tangential, but young goats are unruly, hard to control, and tend to get into things and make messes. Historically, when people called children "kids", they were calling them ill-mannered and rude.

"Bestir yourself to correct these matters" is a really gentle way to say "GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!"

The “Died by misadventure” story is relatable, just recently I was drunk at home and gave myself a black eye by falling

Human history is really comedic of how no matter where you are people are people

I now want a D&D campaign that doesn’t leave the tavern because you spend the game figuring out what to order. 😃😋🥘🍻

I love the painting of the person, holding the other person’s hair while they vomit. It’s just proof that humans never change.

Brewing up ale and selling it from one's house used to be one of the few occupations available to basically anyone, specifically women who were often barred from professions. Brewsters used to be able to support themselves after their husband passed away or otherwise buggered off by selling small beer to the local kids. Heartwarming stuff!

You can find Verjuice (Sour Grape Juice) at middle eastern markets/grocers. Its used for Shirazi (Persian Cucumber Salad).

It's incredible to think about how one person's actions and choices could forever influence the development of a language.

"A lot fewer orcs and elves" - so, not none, just fewer?

“Smite” lovely. Good to hear some old ‘rare’ words. Brings about joy to me

I know it can't be just me...but for some reason Medieval meals always look so good...They might not have had the best, or the most..but man did they do the best they could with what they had. Sometime a good hearty stew on a cold rainy day is just what the soul needs. Awesome video as always! I am so enamored by all these old recipes. Pretty much the foundlings of a lot of common day stews or soups we have nowadays !

I had to smile when you mentioned the brooms indicating an alehouse. When I was living in southern Germany, our village was surrounded by vineyards. Every year, just before the new harvest, you'd see hand-lettered signs everywhere saying, "Besen" (broom), and pointing pointing toward one farm or another. As you got to the farm's lane, there would be a twig broom sticking out at the roadside. You'd find yourself seated at a trestle table in the barn, eating rustic sausages, potato salad, and sauerkraut. And drinking wine. Lots and lots of wine which was being sold off cheaply in order for the vats to be emptied and made ready for that year's harvest. Yum! 🍷🍷🍷

I hope that in 500 years, they’ll have infotainment holovideos like this, and they’ll be explaining the recipes & goings on of American diners and bars and such.

Verjuice is still used widely in Syrian cuisine (probably other middle eastern cuisines as well ) from salad dressing to cooking everything has verjuice in it. people always have multiple bottles of verjuice in the attic ready to be used.

Watching Max's kitchen over the year getting progressively more fancy behind him as he gets progressively more subscribers, GO MAX!

Always loved the idea of going into a warm, cozy pub on a dark & rainy night and getting some hearty stew and a refreshing drink.

If anyone wants to know, a "spart axe" (more commonly spelled sparth) is a large axe intended for use as a weapon rather than a tool. They are believed to be descended from the Dane axe, though a precise definition isn't really possible from the available writing (so far as I know). Basically dude wasn't just walking around with his lumber axe, he was armed and looking for a fight.

Death by misadventure is when you accidentally die after knowing the possibility you would die that way
