Talk like a Pirate Day is just around the corner! Hope everyone enjoys the episode, and if you want the rum I use in the video, here's a link from Curiada - English Harbor Antigua Rum: bit.ly/MaxBottles
please on drinking history just add a little martini glass that shakes when the word history smashes down.
I bet those hardtack rations could suck up all the liquid and still be dry and unbreakable.
You can still say 'tasting history'. You taste drinks too.
No shipping here. I'm sad.
With all that nutmeg its also Townsends friendly
That hardtack clip never gets old, only better with age and weevils.
Its like the kid in the intro. It was funny the first time but it gets better every time
Clackclak
Weevils?
@@MikeCheckBiloxi weevils love hardtack
It's funny because he might just have the same 2 pieces of hardtack laying around in the same condition as the day he made them
This man has to be the worst pirate I've ever heard of.
Seriously 🤣
So it would seem
Ah, but you have heard of him 😉
@Nashtark 111 I have the feeling it wasn't so much Murphy's law but more he was probably a pretty incompetent captain seeing as how his crew kept abandoning him plus the fact he just flat murdered one in anger.
No, that might be Major Stede Bonnet. He was a rich wannabe who commissioned a ship from a ship-builder (most pirates did not buy their ships but acquired them in other ways) and hired a crew who knew how to sail in 1717. He was very successful for a brief time. He was hanged in 1718.
English Government: "You are by far the worst pirate we've ever heard of."
Captain Kidd: "But you *have* heard of me!"
Isn’t that Captain Jack Sparrow’s line?! 😂
@@kkerr1953 As a pirate, it would only fair to steal that line.
He just couldn't take a hint, though the universe sent him many. His tenacity is admirable though.
I thought exactly that.. Like damn dude take a hint...
Every known force in existence: "KIDD! We shit you not, don't attempt privateering because it's always going to get worse every goddamn time!"
Kidd: "Challenge accepted!" *fails miserably as warned*
It makes me SO happy to see that one clip of knocking the hard tack biscuits together whenever that episode is mentioned lmao
Let it never die 🤣
I still snigger whenever I see it!
Yeah I was just thinking about that
Yeeeeeess
@@TastingHistory Well, it is hard tack so it should be good for a century or so. :)
Also, that hardtack bit deserves merch
clack clack hardtack
On a t-shirt. Embossed, not printed.
Maybe instead of shirts, he could make some castanets.
Coasters...
Make the hardtack the merch 😆
As a hearing impaired person, I use subtitles and they are golden. The addition of “glug, glug” when Max was tasting the rum in this episode was a hoot. In other episodes the added “sound effects” in writing cracked me up also. Not sure if the subtitles are created by the channel itself or transcribed by somebody else, but whoever it is, well done and thanks for the chuckles.
I believe Max's husband writes them :)
I think Jose does the subtitles
The trick of using another country's flag is where the terms "true colors" and "false flag" come from. The rules of war allowed ships to fly false flags, but they were required to switch to their "true colors" before opening fire. An excellent example of this is the final battle scene in "Master and Commander".
Hard tack * clack clack * never gets old.
literally
it gets old, but not stale
"I like a lot of nutmeg"
**John Townsend lurking in the corner **
I'm not saying Max Miller and John Townsend are the same person, I'm merely stating that I've never seen Max Miller and John Townsend in the same room together.
@@Aussie_Archmage nah, it's a joke
You know how much John LOVES nutmeg 😂
* John Townsends lowers the musket *
Good... Good...
@@notmyrealhandle I never saw it therefore it never happened.
@@JudgeNicodemus LOL
"You must be the worst pirate, ever" everyone to Captain Kidd
Captain Kidd to everyone: “True, true… but who are you?”
Quick note; if you DO wish to use ice in this drink, or any drink using eggs, shake without ice first. This is called the dry shake and it allows the proteins in the egg to form a rich foam (which is what you're looking for if you use eggs anyway as the introduction of egg adds a negligible flavor). If you add ice first the egg wont emulsify and you wont get a foam, or you'll get very little. Adding ice AFTER emulsifying, however, won't break the foam. If you choose to do that, though, consider omitting the water from this recipe as part of shaking with ice IS about adding (cold) water.
Can't wait to use "Alright, I guess we're pirates now" in conversations. Great episode, Pirate Max.
Honestly, that would make a decent book title. Little long, but still shorter than the ones you see on isekai light novels
Me too, especially since its been my response to pretty much every piece of Disney-owned media i've wanted to watch since the shitshow that was Mulan 2020 🏴☠️
How has Captain Kidd’s life not been made a historical comedy yet?
Hearing about it immediately made me think of Our Flag Means Death
"That's got to be the worst pirate I've ever heard of"
"So it would seem"
*music intensifies*
“Ahh, but you’ve *heard* of me”
As an adult, I now think that being a pirate sounds exhausting 😂
What about as a Kidd?
Pirates would think doing a 9-5 job is exhausting
The Age of Sail was no vacation cruise.
Obligatory Jon Townsend reference
Here's the lyrics for Captain Kidd.
O, my name was Captain Kidd
As I sailed, as I sailed
O, my name was Captain Kidd
As I sailed
My name was Captain Kidd
And God's laws I did forbid
And so wickedly I did
As I sailed, as I sailed
So wickedly I did
As I sailed
O, I murdered William Moore
As I sailed, as I sailed
O, I murdered William Moore
As I sailed
I laid him in his gore
Not many leagues from the shore
O, I murdered William Moore
As I sailed, as I sailed
I murdered William Moore
As I sailed
I spied three ships from Spain
As I sailed, as I sailed
O, I spied three ships from Spain
As I sailed
I spied three ships from Spain
And I fired on them a-main
And most of them I slain
As I sailed, as I sailed
And most of them I slain
As I sailed
Come all you young and old
See me die, see me die
Come all you young and old
See me die
You are welcome to my goal
And by it I lost my soul
Come all you young and old
I must die, I must die
Come all you young and old
I must die
It's got a very similar if not the same melody to Sam Hall and Admiral Benbow.
Basically, the ballad-sellers recycled similar plot material and got to write his publicity. It's sort of like the tabloids of today.
I sing it the Great Big Sea way every time.
@@al5547 Ahh, that's who it is. I was hearing it in my head but I couldn't remember from who.
Tarry now lad, I think ya dropped this: czcams.com/video/Hyhiqq-FzDU/video.html
@@Cyssane If you can't be an example, be an object lesson!
Sharpedo's such a nice touch, since it's Archie's signature Pokémon and Team Aqua's pirate theme.
Absolute cheff's kiss of the video
I'm from Antigua, and just seeing English Harbour rum being promoted was amazing!! The history in all of the Caribbean is so interesting.
Thanks for representing Antigua & Barbuda!
I'm always taken by surprise by the topics and food Max covers! Each episode feels like a nice surprise. Like Christmas or something.
As much as I love Greece and Rome, these unpredictable episodes are really great. Wouldn't have guessed Pirates, lol.
Gotta her you on your toes. Rome is coming soon though 😁
@@TastingHistory Rome is falling soon :)
@@TastingHistory Looking forward to that just as much!
Dude! you should take this to Townsend's - Live In The Nutmeg Tavern.
Coming up in another hour.
Pretty sure that as nutmeg was mentioned Mr. Townsend got a telepathic message and started watching!
It is so everytime. And I wouldn´t wonder if there´s already a comment from him here.
He did do a collab/interview with Townsends a while ago
Yeah him and ol Townsend did a livestream a ways back. Talked shop on being an old timey cooking CZcams channel. Worth a listen for sure.
"2 ounces...maybe a little bit more." Who taught you my style of cocktail mixing??
My friends call that a Scottish standard
I originally did a science degree and I’ve been a stay at home mum for 5 years (she’s 9. I gave up my job when she was 4) and partly due to your channel I have decided to study for a history degree because it’s what I’ve always been passionate about but could never find an excuse for doing (not many jobs requiring a history degree!). Since I now don’t need an excuse it is perfect timing. Thank you for entertaining me during lockdown and beyond and inspiring me to follow my interests.
Hard tack (tack tack) never fails to make me laugh.
Read that they knocked them like that to get rid of the Weevils. How many would leave, who knows?
That hard tack clip will never get old
Much like the hardtack (clack-clack)
Max: Kidd hit him with a bucket
Me: Lol, that's like something a 9 year old would do
Max .. made of iron
Me: Oh.
Max: .. and killed him.
Me: ...Oh.
the true pirates' unit of measure: "whatever"
This day has been a dodecahedron of nonsense and sadness, and I may have gotten a little teary to see a new video from you. I know you do this because you love it and not necessarily for me and my bad day, but golly do you make my days more interesting and joyful. Thanks Max!
@@buffys3477 thanks for decreasing world suck, and same to you. Tomorrow will be kinder!
@@buffys3477 you are better than the day wanted you to believe. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. 💜
A dose of Max cheers me to no end...very good company...especially in a sad hour. Hugs to all his followers who need one!
I hope you’ve had many good days since.
@@animula6908 so many. How are you doing?
You make my history nerd/history major heart happy 😄 now I get to eat and drink history too
A little bit of egg and a whole lotta booze, garnished with nutmeg, pretty much describes my grandmother's Christmas eggnog. Except she did add a little bit of cream, too.
Poor Max! He can work his fingers to the bone, post 500 videos, and he'll still mostly be remembered for "Hard tack! " 😂
I’d be ever so curious of the great molasses flood in Boston, speaking of Rum. And baked beans and brown bread and...
Watcher's Puppet History did a good one on that
I remember when Kidd used Punk Gibson on Kaido. Good times.
Ah yes. Another person of culture I see.
Sucks that the real kidd is much more interesting than the fictional one.
Although now that I think about it, the story sort of fits the whole MontBlanc Norland story
The damned one will return
"Sorry, didn't mean to kill you!" "Oh, no worries, you're just misunderstood."
The man..the myth...the legend. Max's channel is evolving beyond spectacular
God, the hard-tack tap is my favorite bit
I'm not a drinker, but I DO love pirate lore!!! Thanks, Max... once again you have presented a wonderful story, and an interesting beverage
I ADORE that The Hardtack Clip has become such a throughline. You can almost feel it about to pop up, and when it does, it is perfectly placed. **chef's kiss** ❤
Can we get a 'HUZZAH!' for grating your own nutmeg! Well done, Sir Max: freshly ground beats pre-ground any day.
Holy crap, mooning the Navy - what a great story! I'm surprised I've never heard it before. Heck I'm surprised I haven't seen it recreated in some loathsome Disney movie 🤔😅

That is a very fancy rum punch. The recipe I learned was:
One of sour (lime),
Two of sweet (sugar),
Three of strong (rum),
And four of weak (water).
I just sort of fuck it we ball and chuck a whole lot of whatever in a bowl
Now I just feel sad, Captain Kidd, The Unluckiest Privateer to ever live (maybe, idk, maybe someone else had worse luck than even him)
If this channel doesn’t easily go to a million subs+ I don’t know which one will. Great content, perfect host. Wish I could double subscribe.
You know, with the level of research you do and the prodution values you deliver, you really need a Netflix/tv-show! This is on the level I expect from my national broadcaster!
I was honestly expecting this to switch to Max Miller on the floor, drunk, singing sea shanties after he tried that rum.
I just never get tired of the hard-tack gag reel. And it is amazing how often it comes up. This is why I can't drink anything when I watch your videos. Never know when its going to land and I would totally snarf any beverage I was drinking when it came up. Love. It.

Max! Forget the other links… I want a link to that shirt. It’s fabulous
Hilo Hattie online 😁
I always toss an egg into milkshakes for the same reason you've said, that great creamy texture! I'm sure the nutmeg will assure you of the Townsend's seal of approval. Looks great, will definitely give it a shot-- thanks, Max!
I like this format. It just seems you're in a room with your friends teaching them how to make something.
My day has been better now that max has uploaded. Thank you :)
The hard tack biscuit bit is always my fave little laugh to pop up in these
I hope the hard tack running joke goes on forever.
dude that hardtack meme will never get old, I always love it, keep up the fab work buddy!
That "Arrr" at the end will stick! On every episode of pirates, we deserve it
Stealth History Alert: I didn't realize that the song Ashford from _The Expanse_ sings is an adapted version of Captain Kidd. Thank you, Max
never EVER stop that hardtack clip. thats golden.
When I taught supply in school and there was no work for the kids in catering I always put one of your videos on Max 😊 The kids love them ♥️
In other words Kidd was an upper management incompetent. Argh Matey!
I absolutely love your channel, have learned more about history than I ever was taught in school. Bravo! Keep up the outstanding job.
I love the running hard tack joke
It’s also funny how right after Kidd was arrested by the governor in the colonies, suddenly that lowly governor became rich beyond imagination… and suddenly overnight became the patriarch of the Astor family, one of the world’s richest families… and seemingly one of the most unlucky right up until the Titanic sank taking an Astor with it and suddenly the “missing documents” that proved Kidd was not a pirate turned up... it’s as if that ancestor and governor had tricked Kidd in giving up the location of his due of the treasure but stole it all and left Kidd to literally hang, only for the family to be cursed until they lost their wealth, their heir, and those documents miraculously surfaced. If a crewman was threatening mutiny and even tried to attack me, if I saw a bucket of any material I would have smacked him with it as hard as I could, too. I suspect the “Kidd on the Deck with the Iron Bucket” isn’t as cut-and-dry murder as the history written by the victors would like us to believe… I highly suspect from all the evidence (including letters written by his wife), it points to him being left to hang (no pun intended) by the first member of the rich Astor family who within a few months of him being shipped off to England (and his letter proclaiming his innocents was intentionally sat on and only delivered back to King William III when it was too late to do any good) suddenly became wealthy enough to rival a king… like the treasure suddenly missing from a certain French ship and supposedly stolen at Madagascar despite there being no evidence of said theft-only, again, written claims of the event by Kidd himself and the colonial governor. I find it more likely he hid the treasure suspecting betrayal, but then it was either tortured out of him or his wife was threatened, so he gave up the location in exchange for his documents proving his innocents be examined, only to have them “disappear” out of the governor’s hands and him being convicted. History shows too many suspicious points to be a coincidence-and money does not appear out of thin air, but it can out of a privateer’s stolen stash.
Love the tiny Sharpedo chilling in the back
I was so anxious for a while since I couldn't see a plushie.
Then the plushie was found and all was well in the world.
@@sowlbadguy same lmao
I've been looking for that rum for years, ever since I visited Antiqua. Pirate or no, that's great stuff. Good on Max for accepting sponsorship from companies that sell what history nerds crave!
Man he really just couldn't catch a break. His journey sounds like something out of a pirate sitcom.
This whole story about Kidd was absolutely hilarious, he couldn't have had worse luck in his "career." They could make a comedy out of this story.
I don't think it was just bad luck I believe he was probably a pretty incompetent captain as how his crew kept abandoning him and the story of the one he killed they obviously didn't respect him or trust him as a captain.
Captain Kidd as the schlemiel among the pirates, so sad...
Thank you so much Max. Your shows, yes, I think of them as shows because they are so well done! bless you- you are such a nice break from this crazy world.
Captain Kidd must be the most unfortunate pirate to sail the seven seas.
Fun Fact: The permission to be a privateer, the "Letter of marque", was usually not issued to a specific person, but a specific ship.
Among the many reasons I love your videos is your ongoing use of the works of John Dowland, even when not discussing that period ❤️
So this might be my favorite rum drink ever… and it about as easy as you can get.
I will never stop giggling anytime I see the hard tack bit, please never stop
I said in January 2020, and I'll say it again! You and How To Drink NEED to collab.
We have some ideas

Max, I will NEVER tire of seeing that hard tack 'tap tap' inserted as often as possible.
Man I love the hardtack's clip, it really makes me laugh every time it comes up
"It has a little sweetness to it"
Me: It's... Rum?
"It has that kinda dark caramel flavors"
Me: It's rum.
"It has a fruitiness to it."
Me: It... It's rum, Max.
"It reminds me of bananas foster"
Me: *facepalms* RUM! MAX! RUM!
Loved this comment
Being a bartender I definitely understand this comment
That hard tack clip makes me laugh every time! :D
I get a lot of mileage out of that one
In case anyone is interested Captain Kidds fabled treasure location said to be on the east coast of the americans is "according to a treasure map" on Sullivans island near to Charleston, South Carolina. Find the tallest rock vantage point and peer out from the narrow ledge upon its face and find the tallest tree in a grove of trees, buried there under is the treasure of Captain Kidd.
Neat little thing with rum, there are two 'styles' of rum from the Caribbean: English and French. Depends on which colonial island you get it from. The English style tends to have more of that banana funk on the end of it, while the French styles have a pear taste to them instead. Not a hard and fast rule, but a common trend between the two styles.
Other than my childhood notions of a famous pirate being shattered, great video! 😂
Every time the hard tack clip comes up, I need to rewind it at least once. Pure gold!
it always starts with "just a sip," and before you know it, the whole bottle is gone.
Good to see the Hard Tack GIF be used still.
Ooo... English Harbour rum! I had my local liquor store bring it in for me. It's delicious.
Max: So, Drinking History is going to be shorter and more inconsistent :)
*uploads a 10+ minute episode every fortnight*
Saw the hard tack clip and immediately paused and scrolled to the comments. I was not disappointed in finding all the love for the clip.
I will NEVER get sick of that hard tack clip 😄
I've not had any cocktails with egg before, but given the examples your videos, I'm tempted to try one soon. Great video as always, Max.
Whiskey sour with egg white is v nice
@@Sophievee123 Gin fizz are surprisingly good as well.
You've never had eggnog?
@@moodist1er I suspect a lot of people have only had commercial eggnog, which doesn't have liquor in it, or fresh egg. Homemade would be very different.
@@moodist1er Eggnog is not explicitly made with alcohol.
Arg, I've been celebrating Talk Like a Pirate Day since I found out about it in 2009. 🤣🥰 I love it..it's also my daughter's birthday eve, and your birthday cake video came up in my suggested list today..so guess what cake I'm going to make her...except I'm making chocolate icing. Cheers and Ahoy matey 👍
A dose of Max on Tuesday AND Friday? Christmas came early. Max to the MAX!
The worst part about my new job js I often miss your uploads. The best part is I get to binge all my missed episodes when I get the chance!
Pirate content will never get old 👏
Persona 5 reference
Dressing up in a pirate costume would have added even more to the video. You'd look good as a pirate. The historical tidbits really add something, as usual.
Ah, yes, Privateer just a fancy way to say pirate with a contract.
Does it become talk like a privateer day if I have a government commission?
@bobert4343 nicely done ✔
