*FAQs related to this video will appear in this pinned comment...* *'Plant butter? Isn't that just margarine?'* - yes, but also no. This Flora 'plant butter' product has been formulated to have handling properties very similar to dairy butter - and has some sort of cultured legume ingredient that gives it a pretty convincing 'buttery' taste. I like real butter, but I rate this product quite highly. *'You forgot the chilli Marmite'* - I didn't forget it - I couldn't find any.

Nothing more British than watching a bloke eating Marmite toast for over 15 mins on a weekend morning, clutching your own toast and Marmite.

Appalled at how deeply invested I am at this man eating different marmites.

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!

This guy can literally talk about anything and make it interesting

I was eating marmite on toast while watching this. I've never had such an immersive experience

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.

Whole wheat bread. butter. strong cheddar cheese. Heavenly.We love marmite in South Africa

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!

It's made from ground up Mites. It's made only once a year in March hence, the name March-Mites or Marmites

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.

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.

🎶I said "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich. 🎶 😁

"It's my butter, so deal with it." My new battle cry.

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 favourite way of having marmite is having cheese with it in a sandwich.

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.

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).

"It's my butter...so deal with it" Belongs on a t-shirt

You're actually making me consider going to the nearest store to get myself a jar so I can try that stuff again

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.

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!!!

5:27 ah yes, the classic. Shoe polish on toast.

Try a chip butty with butter and Marmite. Trust me.

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.

From Kentucky, USA and this inspired me to order some marmite for my toast. I used Kerigold butter and it was amazing.

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 🤣

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 😉

Many Americans will hate this I’m sure, but a marmite and banana sandwich has been in my family for 3 generations!

My boyfriend is British and trying marmite for the first time felt like a defining moment of our relationship.

Bovril has a flarish, bovoyant flavor while marmite is more galvrent and slounded.

Brewed in my hometown Burton-Upon-Trent. Love it!!

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.

During hard times I remember having vegetable soup with a dollop of marmite, it gave the soup a rich flavour which was really nice

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 🤣

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

i just woke up and it’s nice starting my day with some atomic shrimp

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

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.

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.

Shrimp: *I’ll just wave the marmite near the bread* “this is about the right amount of marmite”

I like that Marmite hasn't really changed their branding in probably 50 years

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!

“You’re gonna get a promotion!” *”m a r m i t e”* “Yep now you’re fired”

Marmite and cheese on toast is the bomb, they compliment each other very well.

I spent 24 years of my life hating the stuff... then suddenly one day I absolutely loved it.

"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!

Just got some Marmite on Amazon, been wanting to try this for forever (from the USA) , great video!

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

Here in South Africa we have Bovril on toast, it's great. Though I love Marmite as well, I just prefer Bovril overall.

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! 🌷🌿🌍💜🕊🇬🇧

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.

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.

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 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.

British bloke: What is marmite? Rest of the world except Australians: Something to avoid at all cost.

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

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!

(American) I bought a jar of Marmite to try after reading and becoming curious about it. I tried just the slightest spread of it on some buttered toast today. It was incredibly savory and salty. I knew it was an intense taste but I was still surprised at how strong it was with the small amount that I used. I did like it though, I'll keep trying it as I've read it's an acquired taste. Maybe someday I'll be able to palate as much as Atomic Shrimp used in this video.

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.

His voice is just so soothing and gentle, you sound like a really nice person Mr.Shrimp.

They always ask "What is Marmite?" But they never ask HOW is Marmite

this is one of the most british things i have ever watched

One of my earliest memories involves Marmite too. I was at a birthday party for one of my friends, I think we were around 4 or 5. My friend's parents had made Marmite sandwiches cut into little circles for us. I took a bite and thought it was so nasty that I started crying. I wonder if they put too much in it. I should probably give it another go, because I'm 31 now and my palate might have changed.

"Marmite, Why does no one likes you?" *Sets the man on fire* "Oh yeah."

Thanks for this. We Americans are only subject to the diverse flavors created by combining high fructose corn syrup and fry oil.

I ordered Marmite because of this video, got it today! I don’t dislike the flavor, but it may be a bit strong. I think it tastes like beef bullion cube (the hard kind wrapped in foil) or maybe a beef flavor packet from a pack of ramen noodle. I’ll have to order the reduced salt version, and then vegemite and the like. Thanks Thanks! A Yankee from deep within the North American Prairies

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. :)

beer waste someone was like "oh we got all this junk left over, can we sell it?"

This wouldn't be a British channel without a dedicated marmite video, very nice 👌

"And yea I'm getting crumbs in the butter. It's my butter so... deal with it." earned my subscription. Kudos!

Love the subtle ‘Beauty and the Yeast’ detail

The size of this dude's bites is really insane, he easily eats 1/3 of a giant piece of toast with a single chomp.

I have never had marmite/vegemite in my life but it's on my list of things to try whenever I get the chance! I love me some controversial foods.

I’m a Yankee and have never seen marmite for sale in my 40 years on this planet. I just placed an order for it on the webs. I can’t wait to try it!

You're making my mouth water with this, man. I love Marmite AND I AINT GOT NONE Watch out lads, he's spreading Bovril. He's unpredictable and dangerous

You are the best Mr Mike.

Here in South Africa we use bovril on toast all the time, almost interchangeable with marmite. Thanks for this vid.

Hello, I have bough some marmite because of many of your videos. I am from Germany and had no idea what this will taste like. It is unusual but I like it! Thank you :)

I've been told how this might be a nutritional boost for me, googled it as you said, am interested in the b vitamins and folic and swear by celerys benefits. I don't really use salt in my cooking so the high salt shouldn't be of concern, though I'll probably get the low salt anyways. You made this fun and because of your thorough comparisons and video, I will be buying now. Thank You from ' across the pond ', Stay Well, P.

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 💛💜😌

It’s 3 am and I see this in my notifications... *i had to check it out*

That's interesting about the reduced salt version, I'll get that on my next shop.

My boss: Steve I'm giving you a promotion... MARMITE My boss: yup now your fired.

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.

Imagine telling your teacher when you were v young that what you wanted to do when you grew up was have 80k people watch you eat marmite on toast.

In my family and perhaps just where I'm from, using Bovril as a spread in the same way as Marmite is pretty normal. Bovril on toast sustained me throughout my upbringing, my Dad still eats it most days.

I've always insisted to my wife that if I was ever on death row, my last meal would be marmite on toast. It is one of those foods that no matter how much I eat it, I never get bored.

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 😅

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.

Thank you for educating me. I travel to London quite often (flight attendant). I enjoy grocery shopping at Tesco - Sainsbury's - Waitrose - Mark's & Spencer on long layovers. I LOVE clotted cream & scones. I love cooking and trying new things. I've always wondered about the differences between these products. I think I'll try this in my next beef stew. It's ridiculously expensive here in Chicago.

We're happy little Vegimites as bright as bright can be. We all enjoy our Vegimite for breakfast, lunch and tea. Our moms are saying we're growing stronger every single day. Because we love our Vegimite. We all adore our Vegimite. It puts a rose in every cheek !

I once told my American friend that its wasp honey 😁

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!

Hello my husband just came in the door with a big jar of marmite,!!!!! I absolutely love marmite,and used to have it on toast when I was a child,, I've not tried it for years,, I would also try veggimite if they had it,, and I'm so looking forward to having some on toast tonight!!!! I'm so glad he was able to get it,as we haven't seen it in most of the shops we go to,, it's the normal marmite yellow lid, love watching your videos, especially THIS ONE,,,,!!!! Liked and subscribed, thankyou. Its lovely on waffles too,🧇🥞🥯🥐🍞🥨❤😍🌹

Thanks for the really detailed comparison! We only have Marmite on my grocery shelves here in St. John's. When I (finally) used up the jar I bought *10 years ago* (love it in vegan sauces, gravy, browning vegan meats), we were in the midst of the first wave of covid, and lost our British supply chain! Thankfully it's on the shelf again. My British landlady introduced me to it decades ago (on toast). I'm off to make toast with 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 use Marmite for cooking all the time, it adds a nice depth to my stews.

Mr Bean new year’s episode, where he didn’t have pretzel sticks anymore and dipped tiny tree branches in Marmite and served it to his guest. Thanks for the nostalgia mate!

I have no idea why KZfaq recommended this to me, since I've never eating, bought or searched for marmite. Yet here I am listen to the ingredients of bovril.
