I love that the spirals sort of look like a collapsed pyramid 😊 Sil Pata are marvelous things, aren't they?

It looks like jalebi.

"Neither a borrower nor a lender be..." 😀

I’m gonna be wrong but I just had a really weird idea. What is the translation for more like a carpet think about it yogurt or cheese honey? and then wine typically solid one so that might be more like a substitute for type of jam. I don’t know.

Max!! This was absolutely fascinating!!

My friend, ive been following you since youre earliest days and j bought your book. Let me tell you that your accuracy to the recipes is only part of the fun. Having fun with what we do or dont know is the game and trying to make things off of pictures and guess work is fun as heck! Thats the more important part! Keep up with things you dont know, but more importantly keep up with what you are doing. You are one of the best. ---- an old friend

The spiral bread was probably being boiled or at the very least dunked into liquid that was not oil. It doesn't really make sense to fry bread in oil and then bake it. Is there any modern recipe where bread is fried and then baked?

I really want to know what a chocolate drop cookie was. The story I was told was that she was trying to make chocolate drop cookies but didn't have time to melt the chocolate so she had to just throw the chocolate chunks in. But like, what would melting the chocolate specifically do? Why was it called the "chocolate _drop_ cookie"

smart priest who first told a rich man to offer bread to the gods, who only eat the steam so that the mere men could eat the "shell" of the offering. the poor people, now fed, were able to work with strength and sustenance for the rich man, who now believes his "offering tonthe gods" was effective. A win-win.

Halwa is actually Indian that ottoman adopted from them.

Montréal style bagels are first boiled in honey water giving them a sweetness and a different texture from their more traditional style of bagels. It makes one wonder if the Jews in Egypt may have "borrowed" the idea of boiling their bread in honey water.

I love this stuff! For a real treat butter the bread too. My dad was in the army air Corp and was at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed. I have my mother’s world war 2 cookbook and there are a lot of recipes that are rather odd because of rationing. I really miss that generation.

At first glance, and given it might very well lokely be deep fried in oil... could this not be an early incarnation of what we now know today as Funnel Cake??

History is proof we are heading towards worse

Just wanna say, camas is a very beautiful native plant that can often be found in nurserys in the PNW! It's a gorgeous purple flowered bulb in addition to being extremely edible.

Your videos or interesting, but about 4 times longer than they need to be. I hope you can come up with a shorter format. Keep up the good work.

Whats really sad is that anything you ate in a medival tavern is a million times better then anything you will eat today in London or anywhere in England. they go out of their way to make their food disgusting.

3 times? this bread is so kneady!

Hey! Bread and beer are also my fave things too! Maybe I'm a reincarnated Egyptian?

Perhaps they used stick because they needed to quickly boil in oil (not water) the bread. Sticks because they needed to take them out right away.

Montreal style bagels are actually boiled in honey water today!

That husband….what a nag !

What, Babble won't teach me ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics? Unsubscribed

Warm beer and bread they said they could raise the dead...

Bread and Circuses, right?

'sweet water' was used by many bronze aged civilizations to mean the water was clean. this would be opposed to 'sour water' which was usually salt water.

I've heard that the gods were "full" of bread because they laid fresh, steaming bread on the altar. Since the gods were spiritual, they only ate the bread's steam and perfume, not the loaf itself. When the bread cools, the gods are full.

“Bread was everything.” Still is today. 💰

What does "Cast on high grounds" mean?

You gotta write a straight history book. I’d read it

Little Debbie pinwheels?

Ahh yes, ancient Honey Buns <3

Milled some flour with a millstone during one of many visits to the peak district. I wish I could remember where it was, and why they had it but it's been nearly 20 years since that happened. One reason why I love living so close to the Peak District, doesn't matter where you walk, you'll end up finding at least 1 millstone.

Modern-day office management - the workers are unhappy so let's have a pizza party.

There is a bread Egyptians in southern Egypt eat that is the best bread I ever ate- called aysh (bread) shamsiya (sun) or sun bread. From what I understood , it was cooked in the heat of the desert. I want to say on the sand. I’d love to have some more one day but alas I am never to return to Egypt.

Perfect example of show vs. tell.

One thing a lot of archaeologists tend to do is turn everything into religion. There was a fun book mocking this trend some years back some years back called Motel Vegas where archaeologists 1,000 years in the future were excavating a motel and doing such silly things as sayinga TV was a magic box people worshipped and that a toilet seat was a priest's ceremonial collar. I mention this because we now know the NTR (Ancient Egyptian "gods" were real life figures from the Predynastic Era, such as King Scorpion I (Osiris to the Greeks), King Crocodile (Set), and King Scorpion II (Horus). Egyptians immortalised these early rulers through stories in petraglyphs that were misinterpreted by early archaeologists to be hieroglyphs (holy writings) of gods. If anything, the Egyptians had a form of ancestor worship. When the priest placed food before the statues of these predynastic rulers, it wasn't so they could "eat" per se. Instead, their satisfaction meant they deemed the food to be of good quality. This was interpreted by letting the food sit for a period of time to see if anything bad happened to it, such as being attacked by bugs or giving off a bad smell. As others have mentioned, the food was often offered while hot items were still steaming and when those foods had cooled sufficiently to no longer produce steam, this was the point at which they'd check the food. In cases where there were no heated goods, they would set the proverbial timer (watching a sundial or using sand, for example) to tell when it was time to check. If the food still looked and smelled good (and possibly after a little taste test), the food was then passed on to the workers. If the food turned out to be bad, it would be discarded. One can easily picture a worried priest coming out to the hungry workers and telling them that the NTR were so hungry they ate all of the food to avoid telling them the food was bad and having an angry mob turn on those that prepared it.

2:33 shoutout to the butt naked baker.

Sort of disappointing that Max didn't knead it this his feet 😔

That was a great video!! Thanks!

it seems wasteful to put the honey in the water to lightly coat the dough... i hope they did something with the water, like drink it or use it in another recipe..maybe make bread with it..?

And people say we should be gluten free. Pesticides free maybe.
