Yeah, I saw that episode. Max Miller is great. I mostly watch him for the history, but as you say, he has some pretty great recipes. I can’t watch his latest, though, Kangaroo meat during WW2 in Auzzie Land.
Metatron, who is a trained linguist, and Sicilian, says that he really does his research on the Roman Empire and pronounces the Latin correctly.
Another good recipe is the authentic 1902 Irish stew from a cookbook printed in Gaelic. It's so good, I usually make a double batch so I have plenty of leftovers.
In fact, it's so good, I'm making it again tomorrow.
I watched the kangaroo meat episode. I suspect the recipe is why it tasted so bad to him.
