If you’ve ever read Dickens and asked yourself, “What is gruel, anyway?” or wondered what would have been served at Macbeth’s infamous feast, this session is for you. Perhaps, if you’re among Max Miller’s 1.65 million YouTube followers on his channel Tasting History, you already know the answers to these questions—now Miller has compiled his ceaseless culinary curiosity into a beautifully illustrated new volume for the rest of us. Along with Miller and Brian Watt, we’ll take a journey way (way) back through the menus of the past, as Miller puts his historical research (and the strength of his stomach) to the test, brewing Mesopotamian beer and taste-testing pemmican (“history’s Power Bar”). Satiate your appetite for historical oddities in this lively session!
