1:48Spartan blood broth earns its place partly through appearance, rather than an unacceptable flavor.
10:38Hardtack combines demanding preparation with hardness and little flavor, while inspiring the channel's clapping joke.
13:35Max recalls months of fermenting garum and the intense smell when straining it.
27:34The cockentrice required sewing a capon and pig together for Tasting History's first anniversary.
29:52Victorian sugar plums took days of layering candy around seeds and left the kitchen coated in sticky residue.

Victorian sugar plums left Max Miller contemplating a change of address rather than a kitchen cleanup. After days of building up layers of candy around seeds, the sticky aftermath earned a dishonorable mention in "39. Tasting Misery: Top Worst 15 Tasting History Recipes".

"I thought that we would just maybe have to move rather than clean that kitchen," he says. It is a useful distinction in this solo episode, with Jose absent: a recipe can make the list because preparing it was miserable, not simply because dinner tasted bad. Fermenting garum brings months of fish-gut memories; hardtack brings the labor, the hardness and the familiar clapping joke.

Ketchup with Max and Jose posted nothing new this week, adding about 6,000 views while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is a little below its usual level. Among nearby food channels, it was a modest week, while Noah Stern drew a much larger weekly audience and Addison Bowley added subscribers.

The April countdown remains the busiest of the channel's highlighted older uploads and has passed 630,000 views. "36. Tasting History Reads Thirst Comments" and "38. Tasting History: Max Q&A" also continue drawing viewers. The latter finally puts Jose's months of accumulated questions to Max, with bonus cats included.
