[@jerodwilson]

This narrator does a great job, but I prefer the regular dude.

[@THEanovah]

The dessert video needs a woman narrator. It's kinda sexist.

She needs her own writer. She's trying to deliver his narration humor and it just doesn't land.

My favorite dessert: Cheesecake. It's fun to make, comes in a million varieties, is open to experimentation and is one of the easiest desserts to make low carb without ruining it. (I'm diabetic.) Second Favorite: Alton Brown's Peach Upside Down Cakes.

[@Tully_23_32]

Pavlova is very much a Christmas dessert in Australia. Our Christmas is our summer & our summer's are scorching so aswell as our Christmas lunch & dinner being mostly cold salads, prawns, cold ham & cold chicken with pav to follow as it's light & fruity that mixes well in our climate with a few cold beers. Us Aussie's & our sibling rivals across the "ditch" the Kiwi's are typical sibling rivals as we argue with each other over everything from sport to dessert. Doesn't matter who "invented" the pav coz it's bloody yummy

[@mingiwoo]

I hate pavlova it’s the worst thing about Christmas lol as a New Zealander you can have that disgusting sweet desert 😅

[@12inch_monster]

Macarons are not over priced, there are expensive because they are extremely difficult and time consuming to make.

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

Clearly no one in the comments has ever tried to make macaroons. Took me almost a dozen tries to get them decent looking. No one gets them right on the first try 🤷‍♀️ plus they’re made of almond flour which is significantly more expensive than whatever shit they put in ‘Oreos’ 🙄

When I was growing up, my parents' version of rice pudding was just rice with cinnamon and sugar. (And they served it for breakfast). It was really filling , and always kept me going until lunch. Did anyone else have this experience, or was it just me?

I enjoyed many of your videos but I am unsubscribing. The occasional 'god-damn' interjections on some of your videos are uncalled for enough, but throwing eggs on Jesus Christ is flat out too far. 👎

[@Julieterres]

Sad to see the disrespect with the image of Jesus Christ. It's a shame, because I really like the channel's content.

Okay so you're going to use this lady's sub-par narration, that's fine. At least get her a writer so she's not trying to deliver the same sarcastic wit because it just doesn't work. Look at the stats, Weird History, you know its true.

You've made an enemy of both Australia and New Zealand this day.

[@snimmo]

I think only Australia since they ignore the 1922 book Australian home cookery by Emily Futter contained a recipe for "Meringue with Fruit Filling". This is the first known recipe for a food entirely resembling the modern pavlova, though not yet known by that name. But let’s not look at obscure texts like Wikipedia… (and before anyone attacks Wikipedia, the page has the source to a peer reviewed paper from 2010).

[@MigoKazan]

I'm French, and I've never heard of macarons with fillings.. or flavors, for that matter; they're just colored puffed up versions of the religious wafers

[@Heike--]

Try leaving France once in a while, they're quite common.

[@MigoKazan]

@@Heike-- I'm not one of those fake French from France

[@Heike--]

@@MigoKazan I've had tons of macarons, they're one of my favorite cookies. They're always colored and filled. Yet I've never been to your country. Maybe try leaving France for a while, you sound really ignorant. What you said sounds like something an American would say.

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

So you’re not actually French. Bc they’re literally on every corner in France.

[@SleeperInTravel]

0:30 Wow, that was really lame, and this is coming from a former Atheist and Agnostic. What a horrible "joke" to make. Would you have done something like that to any other religious figure as a non sequitur?
