  2. Max bought the Lego Orient Express as a business expense just to sit in the background. My man, well played!

  3. Watching this aboard the Lakeshore Limited train from Boston to Chicago… this makes me wish I did the trip 100 years ago, but, alas, I forgot my time machine

  4. I love your videos. You're hilarious and your videos are so interesting, educational, and well produced I couldn't stay away if I wanted to, HOWEVER, YouTube's algorithm is SO BAD that after subscribing to your channel, your videos were 8 out of 10 that were recommended to me, no matter how many times I refreshed. As a result, I had to unsubscribe to your channel for NO OTHER REASON than to get a little variety in what YouTube recommended. Please tell YouTube their algorithm sucks – if you mistakenly click on a video, pretty soon that channel and/or subject matter is almost ALL that gets recommended. Sorry, Max! Keep up the great videos – I'll still continue to watch you!

  5. About 40 years ago my friends and I chartered several OE cars to take us, dressed in dinner jackets, on a day trip through the British countryside. In Brighton we paid one of the waiters to walk behind us on the beach with champaign on a silver platter until we recorded for lunch. What a memory. "Ibis" was a spectacular carriage.

  6. How can you slice the cutlets thinly? The thickness is determined by the spacing of the ribs and, hence, the age of the lamb. Cute little fluffy young lambs have thinner ribs and older cute fluffy lambs have thicker ribs.

  7. For the curious, the plane shown at about 17:00 is a Lockheed Super Constellation – the particular plane in the photo was used by Eastern Airlines starting in early 1952.

  8. I just found this video, and very timely might I add – my friend, Lanfranco Cassetti, is soon to board the Orient Express, in fact! I sent him this video, and he responded saying he's excited, and I quote: "The food looks to die for!" I hope on his safe return – he seemed a little paranoid that someone might have it out for him, but I'm sure he'll be fine!

  9. I thought the Orient Express went all the way to India because EM Forster's Passage to India has the Orient Express in it

  10. Even today they will need to change locomotives due to different power systems and train safety systems.

  11. Thank you so much for this video! I love your videos anyway, but I am a train enthusiast and a big fan of the Orient express, so I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this video. I actually own a pair of cabooses on my family farm and the theme on the interior of both of them is the Orient express. 🚂😉

  12. Trust me, there would have been a lot more fat on those chops pictured in your intro back then when people knew fat wouldn't harm us and that is carries the most flavour of any part of the meat.

  13. Amazing Max.

    Andvto think, it was cranked out of a tiny railway galley kitchen, bouncing down the track, over a coal fires stove and then impeccably served.

    Now, an airline can't manage to reheat precooked meals.

  14. Auguste Escoffier is quite the historical figure with regard to modern cuisine. The culinary arts and fine dining wouldn't be what they are nowadays without him.
