-->'''[[Creator/BDylanHollis]]:''' You mean to say there's a somewhat edible user for my Civil War Hardtack?! I'll stop using them as doorstops and try this now.

--> [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas "I remember she always used to use it to roll out her biscuits, and they were awful good biscuits."]]

** The video on ninja diets features an aside where he discusses the difficulty in confirming that his take ona recipe turned out as intended. In particular, the texture--is the recipe, a ball of rice, sugar, and herbs,supposed to be brittle or squishy? He settles on brittle, because the recipe mentions breaking them up, and "these balls ended up extremely crushable." [[ThatCameOutWrong Cue aside glance and mutters.]]

* MemeticMutation: "Serve it forth." This phrase, found at the end of a great many old European recipes, became a catchphrase with his fanbase to the point people were begging Max for shirts featuring the phrase. He put it on shirts ''and'' aprons and sports them in several of his videos.

* FriendlyFandoms: With Creator/BDylanHollis, the ''other'' gay male food historian on Youtube. Their styles are vastly different, so people may prefer one over the other, but they'll still be a fan of both, and the comments have been begging for a collaboration with even Max himself giving the occasional recipe suggestion in his videos.

** "Hardtack." ''Clack clack''[[labelnote:Explanation]]After he first made Hardtack in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=oPTdSMOQRnY&ab_channel=TastingHistorywithMaxMiller video about hardtack and grog,]] it has become a [[RunningGag Running Gag]] in his videos to cut to [[https://youtu.be/oPTdSMOQRnY?si=Tajnm4_KYnBKVsLv&t=1035 this specific moment]] whenever hardtack is mentioned. This has carried on to his fans, with discussions of hardtack being permeated with gifs of the scene or references to its distinctive clacking noise.[[/labelnote]]

** In his video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtkAU4juIZU kykeon]], a Greek soup made of wine, barley, and cheese, the look on his face when he tries it...and hates it...is priceless. It's heavily implied that this was the most disgusting thing he has made on the channel (and he once made [[MasochistsMeal Spartan black soup!]]).

* GrowingTheBeard: The video on garum (first posted on June 9, 2020) was the one that really kicked off the ''Tasting History'' channel.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRH5DODIgE0 While discussing mincemeat pies]], Max explains how ''The San Francisco Chronicle'' published a recipe they described as "Harmless Meat Pies: They are said to be hygienic and safe to eat".

** While discussing the Sally Lun Buns, he not only makes a rather hilarious stab at the first person to attempt to figure out the recipe by calling her presumptuous, but fails miserably every time he has to pronounce the English town name of Bath.

--> '''Max:''' Classy guy. I'm sure Mademoiselle Volnais '''''really''''' appreciated being included in his recipe.

--> '''Max:''' If you ever read any recipe that opens with "They're said to be safe to eat", ''make something else''.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Max sarcastically mocks a recipe writer for saying that a bird used in a recipe should be "tender like Mademoiselle Volnais, succulent and well-kept."
