I always feel fancy when I eat duck. What other foods just make you feel fancy?
-
"How odd to just sit around watching the king eat," he said while sitting at home watching Max eat. :-D
-
Max is talking shit about French kings who would have their whole court watch them eat, yet 100k+ people come here to watch him eat every week
-
"Good luck finding a duckling" Ominously zooms in on Ducklett 😭
-
I kind of love that when lying on a table, wounded, Lafayette just basically his officers "Uh, oh. Y'all look hungry. Don't eat me guys." That's the kind of face-palm tough-guy joke an action hero would tell in a movie. Humans don't really change.
-
Yay another episode of "Max Miller makes you hungry and smarter for 10-20mins"
-
He sounded like a true French King, "I wish you were here to smell it." NOT TO TASTE, but here to watch me eat.
-
Is anyone else fascinated by the pokemon plushies that Max puts thoughtfully for every episode? :D
-
I heard the name Lafayette and reminded me that I was just in Philly and saw a statue of Lafayette and it's one of the most extra statues I've ever seen. I imagine that captured his personality quite well.

We raise 10 ducks a year. We freeze the breasts and confit the legs. That leaves us with 10 carcasses, which we roast and boil down into the most delectable demi glace ever. I pour it into dixi cups, freeze them on a tray then store them in a 2 gallon ziploc. The fat is separated and purified for confit and the rest goes into a mason jar in the fridge for cooking. Year round duck heaven.
-
LaFayette considered himself not but a mere snack, but a whole meal. Such humility.
-
I’ve theorized for a while now that “the grey stuff” from Beauty and the Beast is a mousse of goose liver or similar. It’s grey-ish pink, but it’s the closest thing to grey of that consistency in French cuisine I know of.
-
Max: "today we're cooking Lafayette Duck" The Ducklett in the back: "Haha I'm in danger"
-
Ducklet on the background seeing how Max cook their brethen 👁️👄👁️
-
"So, when your essence has reduced down to a quarter of what you started with" Yeah, 2020'll do that to ya.
-
I'd love to see a video on Peking Duck and the history behind it and how it became so popular with Chinese royalty and even to this day for political meetings. I suppose this dish seems fairly similar, but I just love Asian history.
-
I had this dish at a small restaurant in Montreal, when I was only 14. I didn't know it had been on the menu for Lafayette's wedding feast, or much about Rouen, or even that those were shallots instead of onions; but I remember (52 years later) how incredibly GOOD it was. Now that you've reminded me of it, I'm going to have to try making it. Merci mille fois!

"I don't have a spit over an open fire, yet" This has gotta be a hint at an upcoming Townsends/Tasting History collaboration
-
"Less than professional chefs" with big arrow pointing at yourself. I love the humour 🤣
-
"She ate so much, she was given the last rites" 😂
