You know that flat edge on the jar? When you’re nearing the end of the jar store it on its side and you’ll easily get the last bits out. Great description of what the intensity compares too.
American here in Virginia...I recently watched this video and was very intrigued about the dreaded Marmite...I've seen reaction videos of Americans taking huge spoonfuls of the stuff and completely gagging. Now I was brought up in a family where you eat what you are served and no complaining allowed. It helped me to love all kinds of different foods. So after watching this video, I decided I'd like to try Marmite, the proper way of course. Ordered some on Amazon, toasted my bread, buttered it and put a very thin serving of Marmite on. It is delicious! Currently sitting with a cup of coffee and an English Muffin with some Marmite. Can't wait to try it in a grilled cheese as some have suggested!
Its always fun trying new foods from around the world. Its one of those foods I remember from my childhood as we grew up quite poor, so marmite was a great way of livening up toast.
@@noire1001 I agree! I love trying new foods, especially from other countries! And Marmite is definitely going to be a staple in the kitchen now...wish more Americans knew about it :(
Thank you for the review. I'm curious to try this also and upon starting this video, I realized most of the Americans I've watched pile it on like peanut butter. As soon as I saw the size of the jars I realized that couldn't be right. Now I need to try it!
It's also good spread thin on buttered bread, and then you put hard cheese - Cheddar, Red Leicester, Ossau-Iraty, etc. on top, and make into a sandwich. No other filling, just cheese and Marmite. If your cheese isn't very strong, the Marmite gives it a good kick. If it is strong cheese, then it can be incredibly good.
Food always tastes nicer when you read about it or watch a video of it while you are eating it. I sometimes eat a snickers whilst watching a how it's made video
When Vegemite was 1st released in Australia as a direct competitor to Marmite it was called Parwill...get it? Marmite but Parwill!!! Anyway, it was a flop so it got rebranded as Vegemite & then marketed on it containing b group vitamins & the rest is history!!!
@@RSDonovan it's true!!! Really, Google it. I'm not sure which country you are in but Vegemite is Australian & alot of older ppl know this fact. I swear I'm not pulling your leg!
This is hilarious and I can't believe I am sitting here watching a video about toast and Marmite! One of the best things about Marmite is, it's a great conversation subject. You didn't mention the Marmite Museum, an online tribute to the brown sticky stuff! Also the amazing array of amusing and imaginitive Marmite labels. You can tell I love it.
to whoever said to me "what is marmite?" sorry your comment doesnt appear on my computer. But if you WATCH THE VIDEO all your questions will be answered.
I can tell you what Marmite is. Delicious that's what. I've loved it since I was given my first marmite soldier in my high chair and I'm 72 now, and I defend it to all the haters. Great stuff! (It's named after the French pot-bellied cooking pot for making casseroles in).
Funny enough, I listen to the name in silence thinking "how on Earth could they name this stuff after a cooking pot is just beyond me"... and there you are :D Dutch Oven are marmites. Bon apétit!
You like it because you come from a time when every thing eaten was boiled or burnt first because if you didn't you died. Old people are nasty like that my great grandma used to eat bone marrow like a god damned savage.
@@KitchenWitchery ask your grandparents what they eat when they were kids and the answer most times will make you sick almost. And by grandparents I mean 70 and older. The only exception is if they were rich and none of mine where.
@C C if they were rich. Have you ever had pickled pig feet how about head cheese made from a real pigs head or lungs and organ meat (I like liver and kidneys and hearts and gizzards) how about trash fed pork that's 80% fat or bone marrow or eating so much grains and corn only you catch special diseases have you? No I bet you haven't half the food the poor eat 60-70 years ago was the left overs of the rich practically and or semi rotten or salted or fucking pickled. The best humans have ever eat is now it used to be shit ask anyone over 70 I dare you.
@@toddsteel8377 I like being old, it means i have eaten naturally all my life and will not die early from junk food related illnesses. I'm also fitter than people less than half my age. we know how to cook, you eat crap. but hey, what wouldolder people know? enjoy your health complications!
My stepmother invited her French friends to try Marmite, which none of them had ever seen before, and watched as they all took full spoonfuls into their mouths thinking that it was chocolate sauce. I wish I was there.
I’m convinced this is why so many people say they hate it. If everyone’s first taste of butter was served as a spoonful then it wouldn’t be that popular either.
Haha less is more with Marmite eh. My French girlfriend made the same mistake and spread it thick despite my trying to tell her. She pulled a face and said too much salt. I spread it lightly for her on toast without the butter melted and she loved it after.
During a conversation with my mum a few years ago, I admitted to eating Marmite straight from the jar, and she responded that she'd always wondered how we went through jars of Marmite so quickly. I used to sneak down late at night and eat a Heaped teaspoon of it (followed by a teaspoon (same teaspoon) of strawberry jam... I was 8 years old.
Used to do that with icing sugar. Made a mistake once and tried it with baking powder. Probably one of my earliest memories to do the trauma in induced.
Sounds like you had some vitamin or mineral deficiency. I know when I’ve not been eating properly, because I start craving Marmite, fruit & veg, Guinness and so on.
Yeahhhh nowadays I can only take a little, but I remember enjoying liberal amounts of it as a kid! thus I was taken aback when I ate it again years later, spread thick on toast. O_O XD
im the same way with low sodium soy sauce. its not that i dont like salt but so much more flavor comes through in the low sodium. and you can add more with out being too salty lol.
Ah, the hotel buffet breakfast when some American kids were running riot loudly. I could have stepped in when they yelled "Look, Mom, chocolate sauce!" before spooning it all over his breakfast. But I didn't.
My Italian grandmother always had a jar of bovril in her cabinet. She made her pasta tomato sauce and added a spoonful of bovril . She Also used it for her stew and gravies. I remember loving the smell and sneaking a taste when I could. Great video.
As a marmite lover for years, gonna be honest, when there was a marmite scare shortage in the UK, I got a pot of tescos yeast extract, and now I far more prefer it. It spreads way easier then marmite and tastes just as good
There will never be a Marmite shortage in the UK as its produced in Burton-upon-trent from the byproduct of Morston beer that is brewed just down the road from the Unileaver factory.
@@chloeneal4006 yes but if people get scared that it might have a shortage they could buy up a bunch of extra and cause a short shortage, right? I assumed thats what "scare shortage" meant
@@leaffinite2001 It was partly that, partly as a result of less beer being created due to lockdown and so less waste product leftover yeast as Chloe rightly says up there. I do suspect it was probably mostly down to what you say though, a self perpetuating cycle of idiocy where people get scared of a shortage and so buy up all the supplies, causing the very shortage they were scared of.... god have I hated how reliable that sort of panic seems to be..
@@OrganisedPauper True, also a good way not to waste the last bit in the jar, which is famously difficult to get out: just put a bit of hot water in the almost-empty jar, and drink it!
I grew up with Bovril on toast in the UK, years before I ever heard of marmite. I find it slightly mellower, and more pleasant overall. If I had the choice between Bovril and marmite, I’d buy Bovril. Maybe it’s the meatiness, but I couldn’t put my finger exactly in why I prefer it.
@@andysutcliffe3915 South Africa has Boerewors flavoured Bovril. It's like regular Bovril, but with mild herbs and spices. I like it for the novelty factor but regular Bovril made in the original way is still the best.
Didn't think I'd be up at 3am watching a video about marmite, but here I am! Thanks for another cool video about something I've never thought about. Im gonna have to try some marmite now!
I remember having Bovril on toast when I was a child. Best advice for anyone wanting to try it, when spreading, use the scrape on scrape off approach. That way you can start with a slight taste and work your way up to putting/leaving more on if you like it.
Love the channel and been a long long time subscriber, kind of missing those eating moments where we would get a short glimpse of Doggo running and playing or some other cute awwww picture..... Being Aussie vegemite is king !!!! We even have it in large squeezy bottles for on the go...great with Sao biscuits or you make “worms” with biscuits by squeezing the vegemite through the holes lol ... Great review 💛💜😌
As a Canadian who has never tried any of these - I can imagine that the difference in texture may be sufficient for somebody to hate one and love the other. I personally have very intense sensory sensitivities, particularly with regard to food texture, so small differences in texture like that are quite significant for me!
Did NOT like the SA cheesy Marmite version. I am SA born but spent formative years in Zim. Peanut butter with a smidge of marmite is good. Marmite's tarriness goes weird when spread on hot buttered crumpet. Marmite with lashings of cold butter on fresh bread is best.
The flat areas on the sides of proper Marmite jars, are so that when you're near the end of the jar, you can put it on it's side, and the remaining Marmite will flow into the jar side, and be easier to get out. It works, too.
Here I am in Texas at 2:30am, just about to fall asleep, and this pops up on my feed. Atomic shrimp is a must watch and I’ve never even heard of this stuff until this video
The name of Borvil is interesting as it derives from a novel called The Coming Race by Edward Bulwer-Lytton where a race of superior beings live underground and eat a substance called Vril. The novel was so popular that the company who launched Borvil called it that to claim it was bovine Vril
Well enjoy it when you do mate. As a seasoned Marmite eater, I'd definitely say to follow the advice of start small! Too many RUclipsrs try it spread way too thick. It's a very strong taste so needs to be enjoyed thinly at first, til you know what you enjoy!
@@PlayerWellKnown Thanks for the advice!! I'm looking forward to trying it in small amounts. I generally enjoy salty/savory/umami flavors so I feel like it'll be right up my alley.
Josh, They do, however, have a great range of funny labels! The only good sort of plastic packaging is the micro tub you sometimes get in a B&B, tiny disc which is great to give to friends who havent tried Marmite yet.
Great video! Being Aussie, I grew up with vegemite and love it. That said, I've also enjoyed sampling and comparing promite, NZ marmite, UK marmite etc. I quite agree, if you enjoy one, you should be able to appreciate other yeast extract spreads. Thanks for the great content!
Both are definitely an acquired taste.I am definitely a marmite fan. I have tried vegemite before,but there is no getting away from that slightly "chemical" taste to it.
@@bigmacntings7451 Tried some vegemite the other day. I can eat marmite on its own easily, but vegemite definitely needs butter to overcome that chemical taste otherwise it's not enjoyable. Reminds me too much of a beauty product in both smell & taste.
For many years I’ve had the misunderstanding that Marmite was beef based. Thanks for clearing that up. Twenty something years ago I was married to a kiwi who are Vegemite. He would get every visitor to try it. To me it was horrible. He’d eat it like we’d eat peanut butter. I’d use it in cooking like bullion.
Another oddity - Bisto gravy granules for red meat - they are meat free. I've made gallons of gravy with them, over the years, and only discovered that fairly recently.
I'm one of those rare Americans that like Marmite. Although no one has ever complained when I use it as the secret umami ingredient. One of the things I like to make with it is somethng like the beef tea you mentioned. One honey dipper of Marmite (about a teaspoon) in a mug of boiling water makes a nice hot drink a bit like broth but without the mouthfeel since there's no gelatin.
I didn't know there was a less salt version. Must try it if I can find it. I was born in 1940 and, as a child, we often had dripping on toast with a smear of Bovril. Out of this World!
Well you could say that Britain is a country that accepts/produces mediocre bread and that's why we even have a market for things like Marmite haha, we also love fried bread
My grandparents actually used to mix the butter & Marmite together and then spread it on toast. I guess it's easier to spread like that. As you said also, the butter seems to give a smoothness to the flavour. Would highly recommend it, especially for giving to kids who like to make their own breakfast 😉
I felt that way about onions! I hated all onions, then one day, I tolerated a little red onion on a sandwich. Shortly after that, I enjoyed every kind of onion.
I would say the flavour of Marmite is heavily umami. Marmite XO is how Marmite used to be. It was reformulated and made weaker and runnier. My husband's from Burton upon Trent where Marmite's made and I'm from near there. So we both grew up with Marmite as part of our diet. Edit. I suspect Marmite wasn't originally made with oats and rye. It reflects a change in what's brewed. I think they had to start importing used brewing yeast from other countries, but that might have changed now. Celery never used to be listed in the ingredients. I notice Vegemite didn't have B12 added so vegans may want to use a different product if they're partially relying on yeast extract for B12.
It's a great product - on buttered toast with just a tiny smear of Marmite. Even if you don't like it on toast it's really excellent as an enriching ingredient in stews, soups etc - kind of like Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mushroom ketchup (if you've tried that), anchovy etc etc.
Marmite is AMAZING! I live in the U.S., but I love it! Some of the ways I enjoy it is: traditional toast and Marmite, Marmite spaghetti, Marmite and cottage cheese on a bagel, Marmite on a burger, Marmite on a turkey sandwich. I just ordered some Marmite XO and I’m excited about it. I don’t really care for Vegemite. It tastes COMPLETELY different to me. I’ve never tried Bovril.
You gotta try it on grilled cheese then. I'm a vegemite person but on melty grilled cheese its the best. I might try looking for marmite this weekend while getting groceries. Its usually easier to find than vegemite. I order that online. But the one supermarket near me used to carry it in their world foods aisle.
@@brianartillery I've had a jar that had a weird aftertaste before too. Not super bad but almost chemical in nature. The last 2 jars I bought are fine. I wondered if it was just old or maybe stored poorly in the store like near soap aisles or something
I'm an American and I was introduced to Marmite by a friend from England. Loved it from the start! Vegemite is also good but I like Marmite a little better. +add tomato and make it a sandwich. Most other Americans I've given Marmite have disliked it. A guy I work with tried Vegemite and said it's the worst thing he's ever eaten lol
Can't believe it is so cozy & enjoyable watching the tasting of different varieties of Marmite! Many grow up with Marmite around the World! Would like the Reduced Salt version for the Less Salt & More Umami flavour! 🙏 Thank You So Much for this Healthy Marmite Snack tasting tutorial! 🌷🌿🌍💜🕊🇬🇧
My first job was at Breakspears Brewery in Henley on Thames, England. One of my jobs was depositing the yeast in oil cans and getting them out for pickup by the Marmite people. We would fill the drum about 1/3 and by the time it left the brewery it would grow to 2/3rds full. Amazing stuff.
your mention of marmite having very savory meaty flavor gave me a lot of inspiration on how to make veggie versions of meaty dishes a lot more meaty flavored for my vegetarian partner, thanks a lot!
Your description of the taste has convinced me to give marmite a try. Always expected it to have a heavy yeast or hop taste. Hopefully I can find some in my local stores - my country doesn't fancy that many a British product.
There is no hop taste. It's v. salty with funky notes as you might get in soy sauce or miso paste, demi-glace, Worcestershire sauce, or a very well-aged Cheddar. My first experience of it was a tiny scraping of it on toast with plenty of butter and it sold me immediately that this was good stuff.
It is one of the few items who's slogan of you love it or hate it literally sums up the product perfectly. No middle ground at all. Myself I'd eat it with a spoon until the heartburn kicked in 🤣 then you have my brother who won't touch it with a stick 😅
Bloody clever slogan. I hope someone got paid well for it because it generates a lot of conversation about the product. It is nonsense though, I just have to be in the mood for it, and I'd never let anyone else spread it on for me, it has to be just so
Country Crock makes a "plant butter" in the US, but it comes in Olive Oil, Almond, Avacado... so you can choose a bit of the flavor profile. The neat thing about them all is they cook precisely like butter, can even make finely ground short-bread, but they all melt at a much lower temperature than butter. You don't actually have to melt them half the time, simply use a strong whisk and they beat into a liquid state. They do all pick up the flavor of spices much better and do great at cooking steak, sausage, fish and some shellfish. Chicken doesn't seem to care at all.
@@raymondclothier4723they literally did a whole, well known, successful ad campaign about how even marmite lovers differ in how much they put on toast. Do you scrape or do you dollop? Etc. It's because everyone has a different marmite system.
Oh my gawd! I can't believe my grocery store in Phoenix carries Marmite, and I can't believe how delicious it is! Another excuse to eat too much bread, I'm afraid.
I recently tried Marmite. I'd been curious for a while, since I like the similar product called Vitam R that you can find here in Germany. The man differences are that Marmite clearly has a Guiness like flavor along with more bitterness: I am glad I tried it, but in the end I was just craving Vitam R instead. I'd love to know a real Brits opinion on our German Yeast paste with an acquired taste.
The name, "Marmite," comes from the original container. It is shown on the label, a stout ceramic pot. The little pots came from France, where they were known as "marmite."
Ah, "weird stuff in a can", and a five-can tar-in-jar special to boot! I have heard rumours of marmite peanut butter, and even as a fan of marmite, my mind boggles at that.
I think I may have to give the reduced salt version a try, I've always defaulted to the regular version out of habit. Another spread for people who like salty/umami flavours but maybe want a more fishy flavour is Patum Peperium AKA Gentleman's Relish, it's anchovy paste with salt and spices, best enjoyed similar to Marmite, spread thinly over buttered toast.
"Owned by Unilever" -- Well, only a few mega-corporations around the world control most of what the majority of the nations eat, drink, hear, see, etc -- why would this be any different? 😔😖
For prepared products. Doesn't go for raw ingredients you cook with. Furthermore, there's been a major move to diversify the grocery shelves with local stuff in the USA, is it the same elsewhere?
@@fmlAllthetime You can't even be so sure about "raw ingredients you cook with." Sure, some things are locally sourced by some stores, but many fruits and a decent amount of vegetables are still provided by mega-corporations. That is the US I'm talking about, but it is likely the case for a decent amount of other countries as well. The reality is that "locally grown" produce is not as easy to find anymore for many regions in the US and some more "modernized" nations, as there are fewer and fewer farmers that aren't working for the corporations. You can live right next to a farm and never get a single piece of food from them locally. Add that to the produce companies, such as Dole, and there is still a decent change your "fresh" ingredients were sourced from a large supplier, not a farm 50 miles away; it is also likely that some of them are far from fresh, and were preserved through chemicals and environmental controls. The easiest way to tell what supplier your local store might be using it to look at what should be "out of season" against what is on the shelves...if you're getting near-perfect looking fruits and vegetables that do not grow in your region at that time of year, it is likely a large business that is providing them. Or...you could buy them at a local farmer's market...if you are lucky enough to have one around you. That is one of the only real ways to know you're getting "locally sourced" ingredients in the US.
@@sofa-lofa4241 I would agree with that sentiment, but thankfully, it is not always the case. Small communities and/or having local farmers you know/get to know help to mitigate that. There's sadly a decent number of local farmers who want to sell things locally, but do not have a market without driving hours to sell in other communities. I knew some farmers that had to drive almost 3 hours every Sat/Sun to sell their goods. Here is hoping people learn to start relying more on local growers. I noticed that eating locally-grown (sometimes "organic") food and meats resulted in my needing to eat far less food than buying the same products in the same quantities from the supermarket. As a point, we bought some locally-grown meats made into sausages late last week, and could only eat about 1.5 links with some vegetables before we were full, compared to our normal 2-3 links each (along with vegetables).
"It's unusual to spread bovril on toast".. Not in my house it isnt :) I pretty much use the two interchangeably. I love them both equally! Either under cheese on a toastie, or as an additive to other things. I am with you though on lots of butter with it! Marmite sandwiches, with extra butter spread on the outside of one side. Delicious!
Warning to Americans: My office of 12 people obtained smuggled packets of Vegemite from Australia and NO one liked it and several spit it out and used mints to try to get the taste out of their mouth ;-) Definitely an acquired taste! As always Mr. Adam Shrimp, thanks for posting this and educating the naive and uninformed in the colonies.
@John Johnson You all probably ate too much at once, or spread it too thick, or put it on bread without butter. It needs to be a small amount, it needs to be spread _thin_, and it needs to be with butter. No exceptions.
@@flubba86 if the flavor is improved by using less of it, and it improves more the less you use, logically having none at all is the amount that tastes the best!
O.M.G. This is the first time I actually saw a vegemite and now I now what they meant by singing "and gave a vegemite sandwich" in land down under [shit was bugging me for a while and now rando video about marmite BOOM hidden knowledge]. Fcking incredible. Funnily enough, noone knew what vegemite is down in Devon. Thx Atomic Shrimp , love ur vids, stay safe and strong
@@ChildrenOfOwls are u surprised that noone in Devon england knew what vegemite actually is, yet thez went bananas for marmite? or are my second lang skills too shite for u to understand?
It never occurred to you to google or search RUclips? Shit like that bugs me all the time. Being an Aussie and then starting to watch cooking vids by Brits and Americans there are all sorts of things I’ve never heard of. I minimise the video that’s playing and type it into search so it’s the next video I watch. I’ve learnt heaps, and no more being bugged by not knowing what something is. I do occasionally end up in rather obscure rabbit holes, but it’s all interesting anyway.
@@moniquem783 no, what's google? Lol. You know it didn't, guess it never was on top of my "need to know things". I was more astonished by the fact that random shit like this recomendation might happen shortly after I started following this channel and just show me what it was years after dispute about vegemite and song is almost forgotten. ;)
I remember you mentioned it Gentleman's Relish review by saying that it's "saltier than Marmite" and at first I misheard it as "mermaid", which I thought was a hilarious joke.
This man's the first ever person I watch eating and feel very content and well informed by doing so 😂 EDIT: after watching every of his bites in excitement, I'm almost sure, as a guy who usually never watches videos like this, that I would be as excited and wanting to test it myself, if he would make a video on beauty products and lipsticks 🤣
There is something about this channel that makes me rewatch the videos over and over again, but find them no less fun and enjoyable! If I can subscribe to this channel a million times, I would haha
Thank you for the video, Mike! Now that I checked the Marmite brand page, I noticed that they sell a special edition "Marmite Dynamite" at Sainsbury's for a limited time. Are you also interested in trying that? 😁
Thank you for this video, your spoon-twirling technique is so helpful for avoiding mess! I always found I'd have to clean up the jar after using it but the twirl really keeps it contained. I have only fairly recently come to appreciate marmite after first hating it, then for a long time having a once-a-year craving for it spread super thin under peanut butter... but these days I even lick the spoon so it doesn't go to waste. :)
My dad, from Australia, always makes Vegemite roast potatoes by parboiling the potatoes in a sort of vegemite broth and then baking them. He and all his australian relatives seem to love them but almost everyone else from England doesn't seem to like them. They eat a lot of vegemite in Australia.
Another Australian here, Vegemite is delicious. Amazing with avocado and salt+pepper on toast, or just with butter. Who cares what beer it's made of - it's amazing
My mom used to buy Marmite when I was a kid; mind you, I'm French, grew up in Paris, and she herself wasn't even English. We didn't eat it super often, but it has such a characteristic taste... I associate it strongly with this childhood nostalgia yumyum, yknow. When I told my Brit friend, she said I'm basically English then, apparently only the English can handle that. XD
@@druze3210 I've switched from marmite to Bovril for my toast, i find it has a more meaty Unami flavor as Atomic Shrimp describes. I butter my toast and pop it under the grill to get the butter nice and golden, then a scattered spread of Bovril, making sure it doesnt cover all the butter because its nice to have variation! Its not as strong as marmite but too much will still be overpowering. If you don't like it on toast, I find bovril makes a better stock than marmite and you can also use a teaspoon in hot water for a nice winter meaty drink
Top tip: if the lid on your jar of Marmite gets gummed up, as it inevitably will at some point, you can run it under hot water for about 30 seconds or put it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds and it should release quite easily.

American here in Virginia...I recently watched this video and was very intrigued about the dreaded Marmite...I've seen reaction videos of Americans taking huge spoonfuls of the stuff and completely gagging. Now I was brought up in a family where you eat what you are served and no complaining allowed. It helped me to love all kinds of different foods.

Thank you for the review. I'm curious to try this also and upon starting this video, I realized most of the Americans I've watched pile it on like peanut butter. As soon as I saw the size of the jars I realized that couldn't be right. Now I need to try it!
It's also good spread thin on buttered bread, and then you put hard cheese - Cheddar, Red Leicester, Ossau-Iraty, etc. on top, and make into a sandwich. No other filling, just cheese and Marmite. If your cheese isn't very strong, the Marmite gives it a good kick. If it is strong cheese, then it can be incredibly good.
This guy can literally talk about anything and make it interesting

This is hilarious and I can't believe I am sitting here watching a video about toast and Marmite! One of the best things about Marmite is, it's a great conversation subject. You didn't mention the Marmite Museum, an online tribute to the brown sticky stuff! Also the amazing array of amusing and imaginitive Marmite labels. You can tell I love it.

to whoever said to me "what is marmite?" sorry your comment doesnt appear on my computer. But if you WATCH THE VIDEO all your questions will be answered.
I can tell you what Marmite is. Delicious that's what. I've loved it since I was given my first marmite soldier in my high chair and I'm 72 now, and I defend it to all the haters. Great stuff! (It's named after the French pot-bellied cooking pot for making casseroles in).
Funny enough, I listen to the name in silence thinking "how on Earth could they name this stuff after a cooking pot is just beyond me"... and there you are :D Dutch Oven are marmites. Bon apétit!
You like it because you come from a time when every thing eaten was boiled or burnt first because if you didn't you died. Old people are nasty like that my great grandma used to eat bone marrow like a god damned savage.
@@KitchenWitchery ask your grandparents what they eat when they were kids and the answer most times will make you sick almost. And by grandparents I mean 70 and older. The only exception is if they were rich and none of mine where.
@C C if they were rich. Have you ever had pickled pig feet how about head cheese made from a real pigs head or lungs and organ meat (I like liver and kidneys and hearts and gizzards) how about trash fed pork that's 80% fat or bone marrow or eating so much grains and corn only you catch special diseases have you? No I bet you haven't half the food the poor eat 60-70 years ago was the left overs of the rich practically and or semi rotten or salted or fucking pickled. The best humans have ever eat is now it used to be shit ask anyone over 70 I dare you.

My stepmother invited her French friends to try Marmite, which none of them had ever seen before, and watched as they all took full spoonfuls into their mouths thinking that it was chocolate sauce. I wish I was there.
I’m convinced this is why so many people say they hate it. If everyone’s first taste of butter was served as a spoonful then it wouldn’t be that popular either.
I'm sorry I laughed. Well maybe not sorry. I'm sure they were happy i wasn't the marmite with chilli.
The cute jar suggests nutella or fig jam... so, I'm getting the impression Marmite is more Mustardy?
@@Celestina0 speak for yourself, butter by the spoonful is where it’s at!
Haha less is more with Marmite eh. My French girlfriend made the same mistake and spread it thick despite my trying to tell her. She pulled a face and said too much salt. I spread it lightly for her on toast without the butter melted and she loved it after.
During a conversation with my mum a few years ago, I admitted to eating Marmite straight from the jar, and she responded that she'd always wondered how we went through jars of Marmite so quickly. I used to sneak down late at night and eat a Heaped teaspoon of it (followed by a teaspoon (same teaspoon) of strawberry jam... I was 8 years old.
My brother and i did the same ,at that age, with oxo cubes .I think this is known as starvation.
Used to do that with icing sugar. Made a mistake once and tried it with baking powder.
Probably one of my earliest memories to do the trauma in induced.
Sounds like you had some vitamin or mineral deficiency. I know when I’ve not been eating properly, because I start craving Marmite, fruit & veg, Guinness and so on.
@@maryavatar nope. Just loved the taste. Still do. But I take your point.😁
Yeahhhh nowadays I can only take a little, but I remember enjoying liberal amounts of it as a kid! thus I was taken aback when I ate it again years later, spread thick on toast. O_O XD
im the same way with low sodium soy sauce. its not that i dont like salt but so much more flavor comes through in the low sodium. and you can add more with out being too salty lol.
Agreed, the hard part is that anyone else in my household goes to the grocery store they only get the regular soy sauce.
@@garethbaus5471 yep lol they dont know what they are missing.. by missing salt xD

Brewed in my hometown Burton-Upon-Trent. Love it!!
From Kentucky, USA and this inspired me to order some marmite for my toast. I used Kerigold butter and it was amazing.
Try Vegemite it is much more smoother & palatable than Marmite...
There is a lot of salt in that combo. Better use unsalted butter.

5:27 ah yes, the classic. Shoe polish on toast.
As a marmite lover for years, gonna be honest, when there was a marmite scare shortage in the UK, I got a pot of tescos yeast extract, and now I far more prefer it. It spreads way easier then marmite and tastes just as good
I feel like the Marmite design bottle gives a homamade and nostalgic vibe with it's strong flavour,which is why people prefer it
There will never be a Marmite shortage in the UK as its produced in Burton-upon-trent from the byproduct of Morston beer that is brewed just down the road from the Unileaver factory.
@@chloeneal4006 yes but if people get scared that it might have a shortage they could buy up a bunch of extra and cause a short shortage, right? I assumed thats what "scare shortage" meant
Treason!
@@leaffinite2001 It was partly that, partly as a result of less beer being created due to lockdown and so less waste product leftover yeast as Chloe rightly says up there.
I do suspect it was probably mostly down to what you say though, a self perpetuating cycle of idiocy where people get scared of a shortage and so buy up all the supplies, causing the very shortage they were scared of.... god have I hated how reliable that sort of panic seems to be..
I bet if someone would have told you 10 years ago you would have Marmite as a Tax deductible you would have keeled over with laughter 🤣
You're actually making me consider going to the nearest store to get myself a jar so I can try that stuff again

During hard times I remember having vegetable soup with a dollop of marmite, it gave the soup a rich flavour which was really nice
I was just thinking that the look of it and his description made it sound like a yeast or plant based demi-glace, which is used for exactly that.
I sometimes have a hot Marmite drink, especially if I'm ill. A teaspoon of Marmite in a mug of hot water, stirred well.
It is great stuff if you don't want to use Soy in your cooking.
I found Marmite goes with almost anything. Even things you would never imagine.
@@OrganisedPauper True, also a good way not to waste the last bit in the jar, which is famously difficult to get out: just put a bit of hot water in the almost-empty jar, and drink it!
Here in South Africa we have Bovril on toast, it's great. Though I love Marmite as well, I just prefer Bovril overall.
I grew up with Bovril on toast in the UK, years before I ever heard of marmite. I find it slightly mellower, and more pleasant overall. If I had the choice between Bovril and marmite, I’d buy Bovril. Maybe it’s the meatiness, but I couldn’t put my finger exactly in why I prefer it.
I wonder if they have the cheese marmite in the UK like you get here? I hate that.
@@seamonster936 Unilever heard that we South Africans like Marmite and Cheddar together and came up with Cheese Marmite. Vile!
@@andysutcliffe3915 South Africa has Boerewors flavoured Bovril. It's like regular Bovril, but with mild herbs and spices. I like it for the novelty factor but regular Bovril made in the original way is still the best.

@@aninsvet It takes time to get used to it. You will. Spread really really thin to start out with.
@@pentachronic you're right, I must train and try harder
I remember having Bovril on toast when I was a child. Best advice for anyone wanting to try it, when spreading, use the scrape on scrape off approach. That way you can start with a slight taste and work your way up to putting/leaving more on if you like it.
Bovril has a bad rep, because it was marketed as a drink, as a spread it’s better than marmite in my opinion.
there's a few foreigner marmite review videos, where they just try a spoonful...... which is not the what to do it !
@@andysutcliffe3915 We always used to use it as a drink, same as a crumbled up oxo cube would do.
Love the channel and been a long long time subscriber, kind of missing those eating moments where we would get a short glimpse of Doggo running and playing or some other cute awwww picture.....
Being Aussie vegemite is king !!!! We even have it in large squeezy bottles for on the go...great with Sao biscuits or you make “worms” with biscuits by squeezing the vegemite through the holes lol ...
Great review 💛💜😌
As a Canadian who has never tried any of these - I can imagine that the difference in texture may be sufficient for somebody to hate one and love the other. I personally have very intense sensory sensitivities, particularly with regard to food texture, so small differences in texture like that are quite significant for me!
If you ever do have it, please don't be stupid, please just spread it lightly
the really weird textured one is Vecon which is sort of granular.

Pick n pay peanut butter with marmite on white toast when I was in Cape Town!! Greets from Netherlands 👋
Did NOT like the SA cheesy Marmite version. I am SA born but spent formative years in Zim. Peanut butter with a smidge of marmite is good. Marmite's tarriness goes weird when spread on hot buttered crumpet. Marmite with lashings of cold butter on fresh bread is best.
Shrimp: *I’ll just wave the marmite near the bread* “this is about the right amount of marmite”
The flat areas on the sides of proper Marmite jars, are so that when you're near the end of the jar, you can put it on it's side, and the remaining Marmite will flow into the jar side, and be easier to get out. It works, too.
Here I am in Texas at 2:30am, just about to fall asleep, and this pops up on my feed. Atomic shrimp is a must watch and I’ve never even heard of this stuff until this video
Make sure you inyk use a little bit if u do try it. Its incredibly strong and takes a lite while to get used to

The name of Borvil is interesting as it derives from a novel called The Coming Race by Edward Bulwer-Lytton where a race of superior beings live underground and eat a substance called Vril. The novel was so popular that the company who launched Borvil called it that to claim it was bovine Vril

Well enjoy it when you do mate. As a seasoned Marmite eater, I'd definitely say to follow the advice of start small! Too many RUclipsrs try it spread way too thick. It's a very strong taste so needs to be enjoyed thinly at first, til you know what you enjoy!
Might be able to just order some
You can certainly find it online, also in specialist foreign food places - either British or Australian
@@PlayerWellKnown Thanks for the advice!! I'm looking forward to trying it in small amounts. I generally enjoy salty/savory/umami flavors so I feel like it'll be right up my alley.
@@AdamMansbridge I think I'll go check out my local specialty food store soon and see if they have it!
My favourite way of having marmite is having cheese with it in a sandwich.
A man of finer tastes
extraordinarily based
Cheddar is best with marmite IMHO
I prefer a more mild cheese like a soft white type
Definitely. I've used it in my grilled cheeses.
I like that Marmite hasn't really changed their branding in probably 50 years
They tried to package it in plastic a while ago. It didn’t work!
@@Calamitytoo good, no one likes plastic
I bet if you tasted a jar made yesterday and an original jar made 50 years ago, they would taste the same.
@@Calamitytoo unless of course you purchase the business tub! I love my cash-n-carry tub of marmite.
Josh, They do, however, have a great range of funny labels! The only good sort of plastic packaging is the micro tub you sometimes get in a B&B, tiny disc which is great to give to friends who havent tried Marmite yet.
Great video! Being Aussie, I grew up with vegemite and love it. That said, I've also enjoyed sampling and comparing promite, NZ marmite, UK marmite etc. I quite agree, if you enjoy one, you should be able to appreciate other yeast extract spreads. Thanks for the great content!
Both are definitely an acquired taste.I am definitely a marmite fan.
I have tried vegemite before,but there is no getting away from that slightly "chemical" taste to it.
@@bigmacntings7451 Tried some vegemite the other day. I can eat marmite on its own easily, but vegemite definitely needs butter to overcome that chemical taste otherwise it's not enjoyable. Reminds me too much of a beauty product in both smell & taste.
Here in South Africa we use bovril on toast all the time, almost interchangeable with marmite. Thanks for this vid.
Very good as n drink for low blood pressure.
For many years I’ve had the misunderstanding that Marmite was beef based. Thanks for clearing that up.
Twenty something years ago I was married to a kiwi who are Vegemite. He would get every visitor to try it. To me it was horrible. He’d eat it like we’d eat peanut butter. I’d use it in cooking like bullion.
Marmite is my breakfast topping for sure 👍
@@SMX815 Yep. Marmite on bread for breakfast - an essential here in Scotland, for helping keep the midges away.
Another oddity - Bisto gravy granules for red meat - they are meat free. I've made gallons of gravy with them, over the years, and only discovered that fairly recently.

I'm one of those rare Americans that like Marmite. Although no one has ever complained when I use it as the secret umami ingredient. One of the things I like to make with it is somethng like the beef tea you mentioned. One honey dipper of Marmite (about a teaspoon) in a mug of boiling water makes a nice hot drink a bit like broth but without the mouthfeel since there's no gelatin.
Beeftea sounds delicious :0 To bad we certainly dont have marmite here ;(

Babatunde, I hope you get to try some Marmite over in Nigeria. I absolutely hate the stuff!!
My grandparents actually used to mix the butter & Marmite together and then spread it on toast. I guess it's easier to spread like that. As you said also, the butter seems to give a smoothness to the flavour. Would highly recommend it, especially for giving to kids who like to make their own breakfast 😉
I spent 24 years of my life hating the stuff... then suddenly one day I absolutely loved it.
Same here about cilantro... I first thought it tasted like soap... then I didn't. I bought a kilo of cilantro yesterday... so strange.
Yep, me too. Although I go through periods of not eating it and then buying another jar (I’m the same with peanut butter)
I felt that way about onions! I hated all onions, then one day, I tolerated a little red onion on a sandwich. Shortly after that, I enjoyed every kind of onion.
@@nessamillikan6247 raw onion on a sandwich? Surely not...
I would say the flavour of Marmite is heavily umami. Marmite XO is how Marmite used to be. It was reformulated and made weaker and runnier. My husband's from Burton upon Trent where Marmite's made and I'm from near there. So we both grew up with Marmite as part of our diet.
Edit.
I suspect Marmite wasn't originally made with oats and rye. It reflects a change in what's brewed. I think they had to start importing used brewing yeast from other countries, but that might have changed now. Celery never used to be listed in the ingredients. I notice Vegemite didn't have B12 added so vegans may want to use a different product if they're partially relying on yeast extract for B12.
I'm so glad you made this video.. I'm American & always wanted to know about it. Thankyou 👍
It's a great product - on buttered toast with just a tiny smear of Marmite. Even if you don't like it on toast it's really excellent as an enriching ingredient in stews, soups etc - kind of like Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mushroom ketchup (if you've tried that), anchovy etc etc.
Marmite is AMAZING! I live in the U.S., but I love it! Some of the ways I enjoy it is: traditional toast and Marmite, Marmite spaghetti, Marmite and cottage cheese on a bagel, Marmite on a burger, Marmite on a turkey sandwich. I just ordered some Marmite XO and I’m excited about it. I don’t really care for Vegemite. It tastes COMPLETELY different to me. I’ve never tried Bovril.
You gotta try it on grilled cheese then. I'm a vegemite person but on melty grilled cheese its the best. I might try looking for marmite this weekend while getting groceries. Its usually easier to find than vegemite. I order that online.
But the one supermarket near me used to carry it in their world foods aisle.
I don't mind Vegemite, but I find it has an odd aftertaste I'm not that keen on.
@@brianartillery I've had a jar that had a weird aftertaste before too. Not super bad but almost chemical in nature. The last 2 jars I bought are fine. I wondered if it was just old or maybe stored poorly in the store like near soap aisles or something

My first job was at Breakspears Brewery in Henley on Thames, England. One of my jobs was depositing the yeast in oil cans and getting them out for pickup by the Marmite people. We would fill the drum about 1/3 and by the time it left the brewery it would grow to 2/3rds full. Amazing stuff.
I love all of these so much! Bovril is my favourite though because I love how it goes with cheese on toast.
I use Marmite for cooking all the time, it adds a nice depth to my stews.
your mention of marmite having very savory meaty flavor gave me a lot of inspiration on how to make veggie versions of meaty dishes a lot more meaty flavored for my vegetarian partner, thanks a lot!
Your description of the taste has convinced me to give marmite a try. Always expected it to have a heavy yeast or hop taste. Hopefully I can find some in my local stores - my country doesn't fancy that many a British product.
It’s really good I think. :)
I can't stress enough that if you find some, start with a very small amount on toast for first taste.
Maximum butter, minimal Marmite !
There is no hop taste. It's v. salty with funky notes as you might get in soy sauce or miso paste, demi-glace, Worcestershire sauce, or a very well-aged Cheddar. My first experience of it was a tiny scraping of it on toast with plenty of butter and it sold me immediately that this was good stuff.

I have it as a treat once in a while. I love it with a passion, just opening the jar and smelling it gives me goosebumps lol

Bloody clever slogan. I hope someone got paid well for it because it generates a lot of conversation about the product. It is nonsense though, I just have to be in the mood for it, and I'd never let anyone else spread it on for me, it has to be just so
Country Crock makes a "plant butter" in the US, but it comes in Olive Oil, Almond, Avacado... so you can choose a bit of the flavor profile. The neat thing about them all is they cook precisely like butter, can even make finely ground short-bread, but they all melt at a much lower temperature than butter. You don't actually have to melt them half the time, simply use a strong whisk and they beat into a liquid state. They do all pick up the flavor of spices much better and do great at cooking steak, sausage, fish and some shellfish. Chicken doesn't seem to care at all.

I recently tried Marmite. I'd been curious for a while, since I like the similar product called Vitam R that you can find here in Germany.

Ah, "weird stuff in a can", and a five-can tar-in-jar special to boot! I have heard rumours of marmite peanut butter, and even as a fan of marmite, my mind boggles at that.
Ulrich S you need to try the Marmite peanut butter, it's a taste sensation!
wait till you hear about the mixture of cream cheese and vegemite in a jar called cheezymite...
I'm getting the experience of being a Vegan. N I'm loving it
But meat... MEAT!!! is yummy. I can't imagine life without it. I do love the vegans for: the more vegans, the more meat for me :D
I think I may have to give the reduced salt version a try, I've always defaulted to the regular version out of habit.
Another spread for people who like salty/umami flavours but maybe want a more fishy flavour is Patum Peperium AKA Gentleman's Relish, it's anchovy paste with salt and spices, best enjoyed similar to Marmite, spread thinly over buttered toast.
I'm sorry, I guffawed at gentleman's relish 😂
Gentleman's relish? I've heard of swallowing it, but never on toast...🤣
everytime New Zealand is mentioned in a video that isn't specifically about New Zealand it always catches me off guard
"Yea I'm getting crumbs in the butter, it's MY butter "❤💚
Cheers!
I just ordered some to try! The bread looks great also btw.
"Owned by Unilever" -- Well, only a few mega-corporations around the world control most of what the majority of the nations eat, drink, hear, see, etc -- why would this be any different? 😔😖
For prepared products. Doesn't go for raw ingredients you cook with. Furthermore, there's been a major move to diversify the grocery shelves with local stuff in the USA, is it the same elsewhere?
@@fmlAllthetime You can't even be so sure about "raw ingredients you cook with." Sure, some things are locally sourced by some stores, but many fruits and a decent amount of vegetables are still provided by mega-corporations. That is the US I'm talking about, but it is likely the case for a decent amount of other countries as well.
The reality is that "locally grown" produce is not as easy to find anymore for many regions in the US and some more "modernized" nations, as there are fewer and fewer farmers that aren't working for the corporations. You can live right next to a farm and never get a single piece of food from them locally. Add that to the produce companies, such as Dole, and there is still a decent change your "fresh" ingredients were sourced from a large supplier, not a farm 50 miles away; it is also likely that some of them are far from fresh, and were preserved through chemicals and environmental controls.
The easiest way to tell what supplier your local store might be using it to look at what should be "out of season" against what is on the shelves...if you're getting near-perfect looking fruits and vegetables that do not grow in your region at that time of year, it is likely a large business that is providing them.
Or...you could buy them at a local farmer's market...if you are lucky enough to have one around you. That is one of the only real ways to know you're getting "locally sourced" ingredients in the US.
Then be more critical of what you buy then. Tell your neighbors.
@@tiredoftheliesalready I agree with most of that, but unfortunately a lot of the farmers market produce is just re-labelled mega-Corp crap
@@sofa-lofa4241 I would agree with that sentiment, but thankfully, it is not always the case. Small communities and/or having local farmers you know/get to know help to mitigate that.
There's sadly a decent number of local farmers who want to sell things locally, but do not have a market without driving hours to sell in other communities. I knew some farmers that had to drive almost 3 hours every Sat/Sun to sell their goods.
Here is hoping people learn to start relying more on local growers. I noticed that eating locally-grown (sometimes "organic") food and meats resulted in my needing to eat far less food than buying the same products in the same quantities from the supermarket. As a point, we bought some locally-grown meats made into sausages late last week, and could only eat about 1.5 links with some vegetables before we were full, compared to our normal 2-3 links each (along with vegetables).
"It's unusual to spread bovril on toast".. Not in my house it isnt :) I pretty much use the two interchangeably. I love them both equally! Either under cheese on a toastie, or as an additive to other things. I am with you though on lots of butter with it! Marmite sandwiches, with extra butter spread on the outside of one side. Delicious!
Warning to Americans: My office of 12 people obtained smuggled packets of Vegemite from Australia and NO one liked it and several spit it out and used mints to try to get the taste out of their mouth ;-) Definitely an acquired taste! As always Mr. Adam Shrimp, thanks for posting this and educating the naive and uninformed in the colonies.
@John Johnson
You all probably ate too much at once, or spread it too thick, or put it on bread without butter.
It needs to be a small amount, it needs to be spread _thin_, and it needs to be with butter. No exceptions.
fuck me i thought all you yanks had bad taste,
this proves at least 11 are smarter than average
@@flubba86 if the flavor is improved by using less of it, and it improves more the less you use, logically having none at all is the amount that tastes the best!
@@Mostlyharmless1985 Just like bagpipes. Close up they sound horrible, but improve with distance. Around 100 miles is optimal...
@@Mostlyharmless1985 That's just what us Marmite lovers want you to believe; the less you eat the more there is for us.
O.M.G. This is the first time I actually saw a vegemite and now I now what they meant by singing "and gave a vegemite sandwich" in land down under [shit was bugging me for a while and now rando video about marmite BOOM hidden knowledge]. Fcking incredible. Funnily enough, noone knew what vegemite is down in Devon. Thx Atomic Shrimp , love ur vids, stay safe and strong
Whaaaaa?
I’ve had that song in my mind too!
@@ChildrenOfOwls are u surprised that noone in Devon england knew what vegemite actually is, yet thez went bananas for marmite? or are my second lang skills too shite for u to understand?
It never occurred to you to google or search RUclips? Shit like that bugs me all the time. Being an Aussie and then starting to watch cooking vids by Brits and Americans there are all sorts of things I’ve never heard of. I minimise the video that’s playing and type it into search so it’s the next video I watch. I’ve learnt heaps, and no more being bugged by not knowing what something is. I do occasionally end up in rather obscure rabbit holes, but it’s all interesting anyway.
@@moniquem783 no, what's google? Lol. You know it didn't, guess it never was on top of my "need to know things". I was more astonished by the fact that random shit like this recomendation might happen shortly after I started following this channel and just show me what it was years after dispute about vegemite and song is almost forgotten. ;)
I remember you mentioned it Gentleman's Relish review by saying that it's "saltier than Marmite" and at first I misheard it as "mermaid", which I thought was a hilarious joke.
No. You didn't
This is such an underrated comment.
😀
I'd love to eat a deep-fried battered mermaid.
Well, I suppose one end of a mermaid might be saltier than the other. "Let's have a little taste... "
This man's the first ever person I watch eating and feel very content and well informed by doing so 😂
EDIT: after watching every of his bites in excitement, I'm almost sure, as a guy who usually never watches videos like this, that I would be as excited and wanting to test it myself, if he would make a video on beauty products and lipsticks 🤣
There is something about this channel that makes me rewatch the videos over and over again, but find them no less fun and enjoyable! If I can subscribe to this channel a million times, I would haha
What do you think goes best with peanut butter in a sandwich?
Crisps
Cheese
Jam
Marmite
Bacon
Nutella, or jam
Apple
@@mistythecat3050 yes, I forgot that one. I love peanut butter with apple. Do you prefer cooking apples or ordinary apples?
@@Yorkil Nutella and peanut butter is delicious. I love that combination.
Peanut butter and cucumber for me - the light crunchiness of the cucumber offsets the the sweet thick paste of the peanut butter.
Thank you for the video, Mike!
Now that I checked the Marmite brand page, I noticed that they sell a special edition "Marmite Dynamite" at Sainsbury's for a limited time. Are you also interested in trying that? 😁
Friends tell me that it's sadly barely hotter than regular Marmite. I have it on my next shopping order, so we'll see if I agree!
@@bradjones1977 Very nice, I'm also interested in what you're going to say to it.
Thank you for this video, your spoon-twirling technique is so helpful for avoiding mess! I always found I'd have to clean up the jar after using it but the twirl really keeps it contained.
I have only fairly recently come to appreciate marmite after first hating it, then for a long time having a once-a-year craving for it spread super thin under peanut butter... but these days I even lick the spoon so it doesn't go to waste. :)
My dad, from Australia, always makes Vegemite roast potatoes by parboiling the potatoes in a sort of vegemite broth and then baking them. He and all his australian relatives seem to love them but almost everyone else from England doesn't seem to like them. They eat a lot of vegemite in Australia.
i'm from australia...
i hate it...
and the Very Bad beer it's made from
Another Australian here, Vegemite is delicious. Amazing with avocado and salt+pepper on toast, or just with butter. Who cares what beer it's made of - it's amazing
My mom used to buy Marmite when I was a kid; mind you, I'm French, grew up in Paris, and she herself wasn't even English. We didn't eat it super often, but it has such a characteristic taste... I associate it strongly with this childhood nostalgia yumyum, yknow. When I told my Brit friend, she said I'm basically English then, apparently only the English can handle that. XD
Only English can handle Marmite? As an Austrian born in Scotland id disagree xD
@@heybenjii5544 Yeaaaah but y'know, it's a nice exaggeration to make us feel part of the Brit clique! :p
I hope everyone reading this is having a nice day
Fuck off with that generic trash
Right back at ya
@@foxysobek8109 except you. You have a crappy day.
@Sherly Lecty Haha! You made my day wishing that guy a crappy day!
It's a nice day now that I've had a slice of toast and marmite 😋
Many Americans will hate this I’m sure, but a marmite and banana sandwich has been in my family for 3 generations!
15:57 "I'll have Marmite in my cupboard for the next few months" Only a *few months* !? I thought this was like molasses, where you buy it for life.
I can go through a jar in a couple of weeks
I have it on toast a bit but I get through it faster because I use it a lot in cooking. A jar might last me 2 or 3 weeks.
Note to self : go out and buy some Bovril for the first time in 20 years.
Naaa... make a 16hours bone broth and forget bovril ever existed forevermore :D
I was thinking exactly the same all the way through. I remember having Bovril tea when I was a kid mmmm
I have some Bovril in the cupboard, what should I use it with? Any recommendations for toast?
@@druze3210 I've switched from marmite to Bovril for my toast, i find it has a more meaty Unami flavor as Atomic Shrimp describes. I butter my toast and pop it under the grill to get the butter nice and golden, then a scattered spread of Bovril, making sure it doesnt cover all the butter because its nice to have variation! Its not as strong as marmite but too much will still be overpowering. If you don't like it on toast, I find bovril makes a better stock than marmite and you can also use a teaspoon in hot water for a nice winter meaty drink
I’ve been eating Marmite since I was a toddler ( late 60’) It’s The perfect jar of umami.
Top tip: if the lid on your jar of Marmite gets gummed up, as it inevitably will at some point, you can run it under hot water for about 30 seconds or put it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds and it should release quite easily.
