As a brit there's always that moment of dread when we watch reactions to Marmite, this is definitely why. On bread or toast it's delicious, on its own you'll almost always get that reaction. On toast only use about double what you had on the knife on a slice of bread/toast, doesnt need more than that. Cheese and Marmite toastie (what you would call grilled cheese) is the best thing on the planet.
It must have been hard for you to watch hahaha. I tried it on buttered toast this past week and it was pretty good! Much better than off the knife. 😂 Will have to try it with cheese next - anything with cheese is delicious!
I was dreading the tea tasting and was curious how she made it. But she liked it then she said honey and milk and that was a new dread for me. I didn't even know that was a thing.
@@chelcurated Try Bovril on toast. A lot thinner than Marmite and much easier to spread. Plus it contains 50% beef extract unlike Marmite which is vegetarian friendly.
Christmas pudding NEEDS a good vanilla custard (British custard) to taste really good. We have been eating Christmas pudding and mince pies in one form or another for centuries, so for us Christmas isn't Christmas without these two things. Mince pies were originally made with minced meat, so todays version is greatly changed since it was invented. Marmite needs to be spread really, really thinly on buttered toast, cream crackers or in a sandwich. The essential thing is not to use too much, otherwise it is too strong and can even burn your mouth like chili if it's too thick. One last thing about marmite is that even over here people either love it or hate it, there is no middle ground. We even have a saying when something produces polarised opinions, we say "it's a marmite thing". Glad you enjoyed most of the items you bought.
@@scottythedawg My guilty secret is that I add a ton of cream to the custard .... best of both worlds 👍😉 and yes, I love it too ... a wonderful invention the old Christmas pud.
@@karenashworth5743 Never been a fan of brandy sauce myself, not when custard with cream is available but honestly, how can Christmas pud be anything but delicious whatever it's paired with .... as you say .... yummy !
If you liked mince pies cold, they are 10 times better warmed up in the oven for 20 minutes at 180° 😍 They conveniently come in their own wee foil case, it would be rude not to!
Try the tea again but without the honey but here's the thing. Try it after you've had a stressful day at work. Boil some water, add the tea bag and let it steep for a good two minutes, remove the tea bag by straining it against the side of the mug, add milk and sugar as you like, then take a couple of Walkers shortbread pieces, find a quiet place. Settle yourself down. Take a sip of the tea, set the cup down for a minute then dunk the shortbread into the tea 9not too long that it soaks and breaks off), after a few seconds, bring the piece to your mouth and bread the bit off with your teeth and chew. I've gone too in depth with what or how to do it, but you'll do it again instinctively as it's so good. After a taxing day either mentally or physically, there is nothing better (without alcohol) than a good cup of tea to set the world right.
@@chelcurated There's a reason tea is our go to after a stressful day at work, event in life, emotional experience and so on. While it's not the big answer to everything, it's the big answer for that moment while you gather yourself together and take stock of the events.
We never eat Christmas pudding without custard, brandy butter or white sauce! Mince pies are best with a cup of tea. Shortbread is also traditionally eaten at Christmas too
I just realized my mom (I am Chinese Canadian) introduced me to a a lot of British food I wonder where she got that from. I love Mince pies and actually I like a lot of British foods
The Christmas Pudding should be turned over on a plate so the bowl comes away then covered with brandy and lit on fire and served with brandy butter that's how it's eaten. I heat up my mince pies and have it with some single or double cream mmmmm. Tea is a staple over here with a splash of milk as you said with or without sugar is normal. I love Jamie Dodgers so good. I don't like Oreo's they just taste burned to me. Short bread is great it goes so well with a cup of tea. Marmite is great on toast bring it on a knife is a rookie mistake try it on toast is actually really good with lots of butter and a cup of tea.
Made a few rookie mistakes! Thank you for the tip on the Christmas pudding, had no idea about turning it over or about adding brandy butter - sounds delicious that way! Definitely need to try double cream on the minced pies.. those minced pies just get better and better. I’ve never heard anyone say that oreos taste burnt 😂 they do look burnt though haha. I recently tried the marmite on buttered toast - is was pretty good! So glad I gave it another chance. Thank you for the tips and insight!
Marmite even did a series of comedy advertisements here, about either loving or hating marmite! They and everyone in the UK knows its a polarising product - there's absolutely no in-between, you either love or hate it. But there will be enough lovers of marmite for it to sell! I actually hate it too though :D
Ok hon, they were great reactions! Loved it! However, the marmite needs to be with something else! On toast, spread it very thinly and I mean scraping thinly if you see what I mean! Marmite has an incredibly powerful flavour! The Christmas pudding is classically served with hot brandy cream or brandy butter but many(including myself) have it with creamy hot and sweet custard,yum! Have to say I do really like mince pies but know my personal favourite of what you tried was the all butter shortbread! Absolutely Scrumptious! 😁😁👍👍
Hi, thanks so much! Glad you loved it! I had no idea the marmite would taste like that on a knife hahaha. I tried it this week with butter on toast - SO much better. Was pretty good! Thanks for the tip on the Christmas pudding - cream or brandy butter on top of it sounds so delicious. And yes - the shortbread was mouth watering. I ate so many of those in one sitting hahaha. So so good! 😆
@@chelcurated Yes! Mouth watering, this is the way! Dunking them in a piping hot cup of very strong but milky(as in rather a lot) tea is the best! 😁😁👍👍Oh, and although tetley tea is fine, see if you can get some Yorkshire gold! No other commercial tea like it, trust me! 👍👍👍👍
If you don't want to eat the marmite on toast (as recommended), keep the jar handy when you make a beef stew. Add a small spoon of the stuff to the stew during cooking to give a bit of extra flavour - delicious!
I live in Ohio and order from The British Corner Shop quite a bit. I especially love getting Cadbury chocolates. They are so good!!! If you order from them again get a jar of clotted cream. I really like the clotted cream with strawberry jam on a raisin cinnamon muffin. I put the cream on top.
If you don't like eating Marmite as it is, you can use it to season and/or enrich soups, sauces, gravies etc. in the same way you can use soy sauce. Same rule applies - be cautious as it can easily overwhelm everything else.
Great Video :) love seeing the reactions to our British Food, and your taste buds must be very similar to mine because out of all those Goodies i'd say the Sweet Mince Pies and Walkers Short Bread are by far the most Scrumptious Lol Short Breads make great Dunkers with a nice Hot cup of freshly made Tea :)
That Christmas Pudding needs and is traditionally served with Brandy Sauce, Brandy Butter, Custard or Clotted Cream. It will absolutely change the game of the Pudding, it can be a bit dry without a sauce.
Jammie Dodgers also do limited edition flavours too, at the moment there's cola bottle and a strawberry flavour, and also a choccie Dodger with chocolate in the middle, I've also had banana flavour too
Pudding best served with custard. Minced tart heat it up and serve with Vanilla icecream. Marmite is equivalent to Australia's Vegemite. First timers try 1 part Marmite to 10 parts butter. Use sparingly.
Christmas pudding should be eaten with sugar and thick cream or hot custard. Mince pies are the same though they can be eaten cold or hot, with cream or custard. Shortbread is a traditional Scottish food at New Year "Hogmanay" it accompanies whisky.
I love mince pies..shame you only tend to get them around Christmas....I eat lots!!!..as there tends to be a number of variations based on the standard pie...So I will try as many as I find!..hehe...They are also lovely warmed up..with custard..or with some evaporated milk...YUM!!..You could have ice cream with them.
Xmas pudding is normaly eaten with fresh cream, English custard or brandy butter. You definately need to re-visit marmite. A pea sized amount on hot buttered toast is the way to go.
The Royal Warrant (the written thing about the Queen) is a label you can apply for if you can evidence that HRH frequently orders your product as a preference to others. The Royal Household will then confirm it and asign you a warrant or deny you a warrant. So The Queen liked Walkers Shortbread.
I’ve been sitting here laughing so much! No-one ever eats marmite on its own! Try adding a tiny teaspoon to hamburger meat to ‘beef’ it up, as well as on toast
Marmite is very strong and the biggest mistake people make it they try too much in their first go which makes them hate it. It should be used very sparingly and can be added to stews, gravy, pie fillings. I personally like it with buttered bread and lettuce as it does taste meaty
Just realised that none of these Americans try English biscuits has tried Hobnobs!!! Plain or chocolate they're a oaty, buttery mouthful and the ultimate dunker, please try.
Here in Canada, we have had Tetley Teas in all our grocery stores for decades. The best, in my opinion, is Bold, but find all Tetley varities to be weak compared to competition.
I was cringeing when you put so much Marmite on your knife and knew instantly you would hate it. Others below have said you need to give it another go, and you should, but spread THINLY on buttered toast - you don't need much, when you are done spreading it you should be able to see through it to the toast below :-) Great that you liked mince pies too, not many folks from across the pond seem to and the 'Queeny' stuff just means that she eats it too :-) Marmite is extraordinarily strong - as is English mustard, so if you get to try Colmans English Mustard...just a little or you will fry your sinuses! Compared to English, American mustard is mayo.
Hahaha I wasn’t expecting Marmite to be so strong! I tried it on some buttered toast recently - and it’s actually pretty good! Much better than off the knife. 😂 So that’s what the “Queeny” stuff means.. had no idea what that meant - thanks for letting me know! Also, thanks for the tip with English mustard.. will be a lot more careful with sauces and spreads from now on. A little goes a long way. 😆
You'd have enjoyed the Xmas pud a lot more with either evaporated milk or white brandy sauce on it. People here in the UK get sent to jail for a while, if they use custard.
Sorry for the late reply. For some reason no one not even the manufactures say the main filling ingredient in mince pies that the fruit sits in is apricot jam. So you are dead right thats why it tasted jammie
Americans don't seem to understand that at least 90% of our puddings we eat with a vanilla custard or ice cream very few of them do we eat by themselves so if you try them again in the future please for you to get the true and proper pleasure out of them do it this way trust me it will make a big difference to you. Oh and double cream with mince pies
Scrape the Marmite on buttered toast very sparingly, cut toast into long strips and dip into soft boiled eggs. These are called Marmite soldiers (ie Humpty Dumpty)
Mince pies are (even) better with any of the following:- cream, custard, clotted cream, brandy butter etc. The badge on the pack of shortbread is called the Royal Warrant. It is granted by the Queen to certain preferred suppliers of goods and services and while they continue to supply, they have the right to display the warrant on packaging and so on. Twinings (London's oldest tea merchants) have held the Royal Warrant since the mid-1700's. Fortnum and Mason have been grocers to the Royal Household for about the same time. BTW, you are not supposed to eat Marmite by itself! NEVER. NOT EVER. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Best wishes............................................................the ancient Englishman.
Thank you for letting me know about the Royal Warrant - love knowing some history behind it. Also, thanks for the tips on Mince pies and Marmite! I recently tried Marmite on buttered toast and it was actually pretty good. Never eating it by itself again haha
hahahaha i knew you would have a reaction to Marmite like that Lol i detest it haha but i love Marmite flavoured Crisps here in the UK you should try those as they are delicious :D
Oh god, I cringed watching you eat that much Marmite straight off the knife! I adore the stuff but I don't think I could ever be that brave 😂 Great video, and I'm glad your tastebuds survived that dollop of Marmite!
Marmite is concentrated umami and salt. eating it straight from the fork is like biting a stock cube dipped in salt. It's going to be disgusting. It need to be spread sparingly, about as much as you would use salt. Unless you spread salt half an inch thick on your food, you shouldn't use marmite that way either.
Christmas pudding should never be microwaved only steamed ! A good Christmas pudding should never appear to be chewy!! A Christmas pudding should be served on Christmas day as per instructions in previous comments below either with custard or brandy sauce. Left over Christmas pudding should be gently fried in butter to caramelise the sugars (and a wee drizzle of brandy or whiskey again) and crisp up slightly and then served with lashings of whipped cream - great on St Stephen's day! There are endless variations of mince pies and quality varies enormously - commercial versions tend to be lower quality compared with those from a home bakery.
You should have tipped the Christmas pudding up side down on a plate .then poor cream over .it changes the taste totally, same with the mince pie ,warm for 30 seconds, then cream or ice cream.
I find it hard when in the UK we know American food is full of palm oil , grotesque chemicals , colours and has nothing real about it at all. American cheese has never seen anything other than plastic
@@chelcurated oh by the way i have a recommendation for you earl grey tea with Mr kiplings apple pies they are so fruity and full of flavour i hope u do a video of that
When you said there were lots of flavours of 'chips' online, did you mean what we call 'crisps' here in the Uk? Our 'chips' are what you call 'fries'. Lol.

Marmite should always be augmented with lots of butter on toast, that's where it shines
If you liked mince pies cold, they are 10 times better warmed up in the oven for 20 minutes at 180° 😍 They conveniently come in their own wee foil case, it would be rude not to!
I wouldn't advise putting a mince pie in the oven on 180 for 20 minutes unless you want it burnt, 8-10 minutes is plenty.

Xmas pud best eaten with white Brandy sauce which is a type of custard only available at Christmas ⛄
I remember my nan and my to aunties having a mad weekend of of mince pie making at least once a year. Wish I could taste those mince pies now ...

Christmas cake has to be eaten with custard to be honest. It adds creamy balance.

🤣you're face when you tried the marmite is perfect.it's disgusting 😅
Your comment made me laugh 😂 yes it was disgusting.
hahahaha i knew you would have a reaction to Marmite like that Lol i detest it haha but i love Marmite flavoured Crisps here in the UK you should try those as they are delicious :D
All biscuits should be eaten with a cup of tea... Always!!
Don't make the same mistake again! 😀
were there not reviews on this site ? and yet you still bought Marmite ?
Most of the reviews were actually good! 😂 had to try it out regardless to test it myself hahaha
From November onward my mrs is munching on mince pies almost everyday🤦🇬🇧
Oh god, I cringed watching you eat that much Marmite straight off the knife! I adore the stuff but I don't think I could ever be that brave 😂 Great video, and I'm glad your tastebuds survived that dollop of Marmite!
Hahaha thank you! It was definitely a shock to my system! 😂
Marmite is concentrated umami and salt. eating it straight from the fork is like biting a stock cube dipped in salt. It's going to be disgusting. It need to be spread sparingly, about as much as you would use salt. Unless you spread salt half an inch thick on your food, you shouldn't use marmite that way either.
The Queen loves her shortbread
Raspberry flavoured means no raspberries were used.
Christmas pudding should never be microwaved only steamed ! A good Christmas pudding should never appear to be chewy!! A Christmas pudding should be served on Christmas day as per instructions in previous comments below either with custard or brandy sauce. Left over Christmas pudding should be gently fried in butter to caramelise the sugars (and a wee drizzle of brandy or whiskey again) and crisp up slightly and then served with lashings of whipped cream - great on St Stephen's day! There are endless variations of mince pies and quality varies enormously - commercial versions tend to be lower quality compared with those from a home bakery.
Hahahaha trying marrmite without toast, at least you tried it lol
You should have tipped the Christmas pudding up side down on a plate .then poor cream over .it changes the taste totally, same with the mince pie ,warm for 30 seconds, then cream or ice cream.
Never had a Oreos, they are American and only became available in UK in 2008
Oh wow that wasn’t too long ago. You should try some! The originals are best :)
I find it hard when in the UK we know American food is full of palm oil , grotesque chemicals , colours and has nothing real about it at all. American cheese has never seen anything other than plastic
I like marmite but I wouldn't have eaten in the way you did. It goes best with cheese on toast.
Come to Manchester ✨
Manchester is definitely on the list!
@@chelcurated 🤓💪🏼
I do wish you hadn’t tried marmite like that
I knowww, didn’t know what to expect. Will try it on some toast so I can see how it tastes properly ☺️
Please put it on heavily buttered toast spread it thinly.
@@dorothysimpson2804 will do exactly this! Thank you! 😊
@@chelcurated Spread it on heavily buttered toast, then scrape it off again for a perfect amount!
@@annother3350 thanks for the tip! I tried it this week, it was much better than off of the knife 😆 was pretty good actually.

@@chelcurated oh by the way i have a recommendation for you earl grey tea with Mr kiplings apple pies they are so fruity and full of flavour i hope u do a video of that
You might put Marmite in a Casserole
Can't imagine not having mince pies.
I now need these every Christmas.
Dip your biscuits in your coffee/tea.
When you said there were lots of flavours of 'chips' online, did you mean what we call 'crisps' here in the Uk?
Our 'chips' are what you call 'fries'. Lol.
Haha that’s good to know - yes, I meant chips as ‘crisps’ 😆
@@chelcurated no problem. 😀👍
Jammy dodgers are ok but shortbread dipped in tea is better
Marmite 🤣🤣
