Coffee Crisp is not a UK chocolate bar. Now, if you'd have said Toffee Crisp, you'd have been in for a treat!
agreed, never heard of it
Love toffee crisp get that coffee crisp out of there
it says on the wrapper made in Canada lol
It used to be. It was first made by Rowntree's but it's a Canadian thing now.
I also never heard of coffee crisp.
LOVE a Toffee crisp.
JUN 24 as an expiry date actually means the end of June 2024. There are quite a lot of foods here in the UK which just use the month and year, rather than a specific date.
The other number is probably the production batch so it was probably made in 2023.
Ye the yanks also write their dates backwards
Yes. I'd actually be extremely impressed if they could predict the DAY the food was going to expire.
Also, as always, too much was put on the toast. I've seen worse, but it's always too much for someone trying it for the first time.
We also print dates in a non-mixed-up order. Dd/mm/yy.
Yeah it's normally on the long life foods you get in jars and cans
Great video! JUN 24 means the end of June 2024. Hope we get to see you try different snacks another time 😁 I personally recommend milk chocolate hobnobs, tunnocks tea cakes and wagon wheels. Also happy to provide some bits for you!
You two have given me such a laugh tonight ..... put less marmite on the toast it really needs to be spread sparingly..... when Queen was spreading it I was thinking NOOOOOO NOT THAT MUCH ! 😂🤣
I was thinking More! :)
@@rowlandcole5670me too. I love Marmite though. That said, a thick layer without butter is probably the most intense way to eat it, short of spooning it from the jar.
I put about a teaspoon full on buttered toast and I’m ambivalent about Marmite.
just about the right amount. should have taken a swig of the tea with thee marmite on toast in mouth. yum yum
@@richardlewis3249a swig of tea with marmite toast? 😮😮 in all my years ive never thought of trying this and i from York born and bred thanks for the suggestion
Queen Boomer is spot on! The sell by date was June 2024 shortened to Jun24. As usual an American is reading the date back to front, in UK we don't put the day after the month, that would just be silly.
Correct. Also Marmite has a long shelf life so it won't have a specific day it expires.
Sometimes stuff like marmite has a best before instead of an expiry date, meaning even past it's date its still okay. Infact I think Marmite actually ages and gets stronger the older it is.
Came here to correct them on their misunderstanding of how dates should work.
@@FreeSpeechXtremist They're the only people who use dates in a completely illogical way. Personally, I think reading from year to day makes the most sense, but our way is also logical.
We also dont say the month in a lot of scenarios. The milk I bought yesterday expires on the 30th. Everyone knows what that means
That is way to much marmite to be putting on toast 😂😂
As a Marmite lover, double it and you're there. Or i've grown a tollerance to it! 😋But it is better with lots of butter soaking through a hot crumpet.
Sadly too many Americans when trying marmite for the first time put far too much on .
way to much marmite - no such thing
Lots of butter to
not enough.
The digestives are named that way because they contain Sodium Bicarbonate which helps relieve indigestion, stomach acid etc etc... Need to do longer dips in the tea though. 5 seconds at least. The Liquorice are only really popular with people born within a decade or two of WW2. Anyone after that pretty much hates them. There are 2 ok(ish) ones, the red and blue round ones. The rest are awful. Marmite is lovely if you do it right. It needs to be on slightly burnt toast or crumpets and VERY thinly spread. (butter ruins it and you put waaaay too much on + Jun24 means June 2024. This stuff does not go bad. The L number is the Lot number.)
Garibaldis are also known as squashed fly biscuits 😂
You really need a drink with them
The, 'flies', always get stuck in your teeth. 🤣
I think that coffee crisp is actually Canadian, our UK one is called toffee crisp.
The shop may just put NESTLE in one section saying its a UK product although they took over our rowntrees there not british but coffee crisp (not the common toffee crisp) was sold in the uk at some point but ive not seen one for a long while good job there awfull !
not the same thing
Yes I'm from the UK and have never heard of Coffee Crisp
I think the Toffee Crisp (which is popular in the UK), is completely different. Definitely no coffee in it
I remember coffee crisps - they were uk based
Never seen a coffee crisp in the UK. Ever. Or a border. Where the hell is this stuff from?!
Just commenting to say this
We have border in Ireland, though my family are the only ones I know get them.
Borders are in lots of village shops in Cumbria and Northumberland too
@@BettyNUFC I'm from Cumbria and haven't heard of them
Same lol
Definitely need to try Scottish shortbread biscuits ;)
A tip for people trying Marmite for the first time. As many people have said, it needs to be spread thinly but because it's so thick, this isn't easy. I put the jar (with the lid off) in the microwave for about 20 seconds. This loosens the Marmite and makes it easier to spread. This will also work with honey that has crystallized in the jar. Put it in (again without the lid) for about 30 - 40 seconds and it will liquify. Leave it to cool and you'll have honey as bought again.
Nevr decrystalised honey in the microwave, did manage it a few times in winter with boiling water in a bowl. :)
Even better tip. Just don't try it.
When he mentioned marmite I wondered if he'd know it has to be spread thinly.
@@dodgeme4555 Not a fan then, I take it?
Over the last few years, they have changed the consistency of Marmite, the stuff from back then would easily spread straight from the jar. The stuff nowadays is way thicker, it either rips your bread to pieces, or just slides over the marg or butter and stays clumped on the knife. I've resorted to giving it 15 seconds in an 800w microwave just to get it to be anywhere near spreadable without destroying your sandwich.
Garibaldis are also called " dead fly biscuits". Now if someone had told you that first...
Like an Eccles Cake or a flies cemetery as we called them 🤪
We call them squashed fly biscuits. Much under rated biccie in my opinion, I love them!
Squashed flies actually.
Glad to see there are many variations on the theme! Where I come from we always just called them "dead", but "squashed" is particularly descriptive! Whichever way you call them, they're still great, though I must admit I haven't indulged for years.
I love them
That was a great watch. The expiry date on the Marmite is June 2024, that's how it's written sometimes (June 24 or JUN 24) :)
The reason Nestle has different chocolate bars in the UK is because it bought The British company Rowntrees Mackintosh in the late 80s and just re-branded all of Rowntrees chocolate bars and sweets products, look up all of the original Rowntrees Mackintosh products, they include KitKat, Lion Bar, Rolo's, Smarties, Yorkie, Toffee crisp and the coffee crisp, so all are British products.
"The only date I see here is 1795, so if that's the expiration date, I'm f*cked!" Killed me! 😂😂😂
That expiry is June 2024, it’s abbreviated, over here it’s the month and year. A bit specific to expire on a certain day do t you think?
If you were digging the dark chocolate digestives then you should definitely give the milk chocolate ones a try, and the caramel ones!
Don't forget the chocolate hobnob
@@TheSpliffMaster can’t be a chocolate hobnob …perfect stoner snack 😂
Caramel ones are sooo good
caramel digestives might be the one biscuit i buy over a chocolate hobnob but honestly its a battle between the 2
There is a product which is crunchy peanut butter mixed with Marmite. Absolutely wonderful. If you get the chance, also try Vegemite, the Aussie version of Marmite. Even more salty, without as much harshness. Lovely.
The plain Digestive biscuits can be eaten alone, but really they are supreme when topped with a thin slice of mature cheese.
Cream cheese too, I hear!
@@cowboykilla Indeed. With added chives.
Or butter and honey…mmm
The coffee crisp clearly say's product of Canada on the packet. I'm British and personally never heard of it but we do have Toffee crisp.
There's a similar thing to Marmite in the UK called Bovril, which is primarily beef extract rather than yeast, and you can actually melt it in hot water to make a nice, beefy drink which is great on cold days. By the way, I've never heard of Coffee Crisp either.
Bovril is my go to comfort drink love it :) a OXO can be a cheaper replacement tho being from Sheffield i put hendos relish in mine :)
@@chrissmyth4116 Ahh , good old OXO. I can't believe I used to eat the OXO cubes raw when I was a kid!
@@chrissmyth4116 I had to ask the young assistant in the shop for Bovril - she had no idea what I was asking for ! LOL - but I love a nice beef tea !
Bovril on a cold night at the footy 👌
@@dannyb9209 100%
As an American living in the UK I've grown to live marmite. I suggest you try it again and put butter on first then a very thin layer of marmite. I wish you could try beans on toast as well. It's a British staple dish and it's pretty good. Glad you liked digestive we dont keep them in the house or we'll eat them in one sitting.
I agree, Coffe Crisp is not a UK candy bar no. Its probably Canadian. But in the 50s and 60s you could get it in UK, and the centre was NOT dry. It was like a delicious coffee flavoured Aero (I think they described it as foamed coffee candy ). Too bad they discontined it here,
That's a lot of marmite! should only be a whisper spread on toast. Goes great on crumpets! Also, the expiry date debate was very American of you 🤣 how was it not immediately obvious haha!
Cheese & Marmite roll - like you said, easy on the Marmite because it's so strong - delish!
@@brianm1608 Oh, yes
Yes, you still put too much on! Just a light smear is sufficient! And it is nicest with best butter, preferably Lurpak, on the toast first. 😊
Marmite on cheddars, yum
Everyone in this thread must be weak and feeble British imposters, that was such a tiny amount of Marmite I'm surprised he could taste it, and using butter too, that just dilutes the taste of the Marmite.
I could and have been known to eat a spoonful of Marmite straight from the jar.
Marmite is the ultimate "love it or hate it" food, and yes it's ridiculously priced. I love the stuff. Chocolate digestives are amazing too.
I hate the stuff with a passion too lol.
Try it rubbed on part cooked spuds and then finish em off roasted in the oven.
love it or hate it stuff, but Boomer rates it 'ok' and 4/10. So he's in the middle, doesn't love or hate it. lol.
Marmite is my favourite spread! ❤🖤❤
It's quite similar to the Australian vegemite and, like vegemite, should be used very sparingly.
Dear lord. You cleared your palette out with that glacier mint then ate the devils spread! You took that like an absolute champ!
Future things to try. Tunnocks teacake is the elite tunnocks product. Milk chocolate digestives. Chocolate hobnobs especially dipped in tea. A shortbread finger. Trebor extra strong mints for queen boomer if she likes strong mints. Set up a P.O. Box, your English viewers will send you endless food to try 😂
I agree with these suggestions. I like the milk chocolate digestives better than the dark chocolate ones. Tunnock's teacakes are elite but I do prefer the caramel wafers. I was thinking the same with the extra strong mints and I do believe Queen Boomer will like it. They need to try more biscuits in tea and I think the shortbread and hobnobs will be a great start, along with custard creams, ginger nuts and bourbons.
😂
Soooo pleased at your reaction to the dunked choccy digestive! 🥳
Good job on the marmite (I love it by the way) - Jun 24 expiry date is Jun 2024 and even if its out of date I reckon its not anything to worry about, if you can get it try Bovril (hot beef drink sold at Football (soccer) grounds - some people also have that on toast
Used to suck bovril cubes on night hikes in place of a meal
Some yachtsmen have hot bovril drink laced with dark rum on night duty.
Yorkshire tea is god tier tea!
The secret of Marmite is it's umami flavour. so you have to treat it like you would a bottle of soy sauce, where you only need a few drops. Spread it really thinly on hot, buetterd toast so that it mixes with the butter a little bit. I sometimes put the marmite jar in the microwave for a few seconds (check it every 3 or 4 seconds!) until the jar is ever so slightly warm, and then it is easy to spread thinly. by the time you get to the end of the jar, you will be a convert! you have to remember also that our bread doesn't contain as much sugar as American bread.
HEATHEN! Marmite should be spread generously without butter so you don't dilute the taste, I've never tried warming it though as I fear that too would dilute the taste.
If you want an easy to spread Marmite replica, I suggest Aldi's version, it tastes exactly the same but isn't quite as dense, making it more spreadable.
@@jollybodger TRAITOR!! Never in all my life have I ever heard anyone ever mutter the abhorent and offensive phrase: "Marmite substitute" out loud in a serious conversation. How could one even conjure up such a ludicrous and repulsive suggestion?! There is no substitute. Ever. It has to say "Marmite" on the jar, it's the law. May the lord smite you with 7 years of Marmite abstinece, and kippers every day for breakfast until penance is paid! (7 years sounds fair. No sniffing open jars of Marmite either!) I'm off to now to write a letter to the King, and petition parliament to have your views put up on billboards all around the country to warn other of the dangers of you dangerous and inflamatary remarks upon the mere suggestion of a "Marmite substitute". Dirty.
The date on the Marmite is June 2024, but it's probably still good for ages after that. Top tip - dip the toast and marmite in your tea! Coffee Crisp is not a UK product, but a Canadian one. Reading up on it's history it seems to have been produced originally in the UK in the 1930s but the only places that sell it now have to import it. I've never seen it in UK stores
@King_Boomer please open up a PO box so we can send you proper UK snacks to enjoy and react to!
Coffee Crisp isn’t UK it’s from Canada 👍🏻
Awww so pleased you like Yorkshire tea King. I can't personally get enough of it. Drink 15. Cups per day lol😂 🇬🇧 ❤
Great video lol. 12:28 As a brit I have never heard of a single person ever eating a garibaldi in my life.
June 24 means June 2024. Nice amount of Marmite spread by the queen and your reaction was perfect as once you have had some and understand the taste it is lovely on toast in the morning. Great that you've taken to biscuit dunking - a great British teatime sport!
Here's a Marmite hack I was given probably 40 years ago now when I was a kid. Once you've buttered and added marmite to your toast, put the slice back under the grill or broiler until the marmite starts to bubble, do not leave too long as it will burn. Tastes bloody handsome!
Hi Boomers! I’m so glad you liked the Dark Chocolate Digestives. In my opinion the Premier Cru, Gold Medal, Rolex Oyster of biccies. The plain digestives, incidentally, go very well with a mature cheese.
Wait till he trys chocolate Hobnobs!
As well as the cheese just a tad of Branston Pickle! 👍
After being called weird for most of my life by almost everyone for putting pickle and cheese on digestives, it's nice to know I'm not alone!
Caramel Digestives used to be a firm favourite in my teen years. Not sure if you can still get them, but they were comparatively tiny the last time I found some.
@@Willenium2k4 You can
Marmite is in quite a few UK shelf products now as the brand sought to diversify. We have marmite cheddars. marmite crackers amongst others. TV chef Nigella Lawson did a really simple Marmite spaghetti recipe over 10 years ago and it is delicious with the taste just in the background. I suspect you will find yourself coming back to that jar as once you give it a shot it is a taste you cannot ignore!
Don't worry King Boomer do a part 2 British snack tasting sometime in the future lol 😆
Digestives originally contained baking soda in the ingredients and it was believed it helped with digestion, hence the name, digestives. McVitie was a Scottish biscuit maker back in the day.
Just a wee pointer mate. These biscuits are made to be drank with tea so some of them are quite bland… deliberately so. They’re designed to be an accompaniment to your tea. There’s a biscuit, for instance, called Rich Tea that, on its own is very dry and quite underwhelming but having it with tea elevates it to utter deliciousness. I noticed that you didn’t have some tea when you tried the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer… never, ever do that again please! 😁
Also, not everyone dunks their biscuits into their tea. Some take a bite, chew a bit, then have some sips of their tea, allowing the biscuit to melt away, whilst others dunk. Don’t over-dunk though or you’ll end up with some floaters in your mug. Some, like me, alternate between the two methods. Just find what works for you basically.
I throughly enjoyed this video! and yes, as others have said, the expiry date on the Marmite would be end of June 2024 so you'll be fine. I'm glad you like the chocolate digestives, I think the ones you tried were the milk chocolate type, they also do a dark chocolate type (my favourite!)
I'm now looking forward to QB's reaction video which should be fun.
As a request, it would be great if you could maybe do a video of the area you live in, obviously not your home address which must remain private, but maybe a drive around the local streets? it would be mundane for you no doubt but very interesting for us viewers, especially those of us overseas, which I guess is a large percentage of the people who watch the channel, anyway, just a request for sometime in the future, all the best to you both, and also to Jane and Princess Boomer shortly to join us 😊
For Marmite, try it with grilled cheese or mix a bit in when making bolognaise or chilli. It also pairs well with peanut butter.
Spread thinly on buttered toast
BEST preparation for marmite = 1. Take marmite 2. Place it into bin. 3. Close bin...
@@billdoor3140 hahahaha as a marmite fan this made still made me laugh :D
That expiry date will be June 2024. It will be a best before date so they dont need an actual day just a month. Really dont associate marmite with salt and vinegar though 😂
For the Garibaldi's, the currents resembled fly's so we called the biscuits "squashed flies" . Tasted like them too.
NOOOO gotta do butter with the marmite otherwise it’s just bitter toast! 😂 also, we used DD/MM/YY as our date format. So instead of saying June 24th, we say 24th of June.
That first knife load of marmite was plenty for the whole toast.
And it's a brave bacteria that tries to infect a jar of Marmite. They say that honey never goes off but I think that Marmite should be added to that list. I've always thought Marmite was a beefy taste but it has never even seen a cow.
It is basically the scrapings from the bottom of the fermentation barrel. It's awesome in tiny amounts
That was not enough Marmite and it was diluted by the use of butter.
Marmite in my house doesn't get chance to be infected by bacteria, If there is a 500g jar in the house it's lucky if it survives a week, and I'm the only one that likes it.
Agreed, Marmite is awesome in tiny amounts, and even better when spread generously on toast or crumpets.
@@jollybodger
If it’s not making you sweat, it’s not spread think enough !!! 😋
It's June 2024 😂
😂😂😂
Garibaldis were referred to as squashed fly biscuits when I was a kid. With marmite, try putting thin streaks on toast with scrambled eggs. Mixing marmite with peanut butter is good too.
You now need to watch the Peter Kay sketch about dipping certain types of biscuits in your tea. You may have already watched it but it will really hit home now. Lol
Even if the Marmite was out of date I wouldn't worry - it lasts forever! It is a good source of B vitamins and is named after the cooking pot that the jar is based on.
Its true, I've eaten marmite 18 months out of date and all that happens is it gets a little stronger in flavour and a little harder to spread
@@SengirIndustries Just put the jar (carefully!) into hot water for a few minutes, until the Marmite softens again. It's like honey in that regard.
it would last forever in my house...we all hate it
For Marmite - you need hot toast, plenty of melted butter and then a little bit of marmite, blended in with the butter.
What kind of heathen are you? Marmite is best enjoyed on toast no butter, with lashings of marmite. I even have Marmite sandwiches, just lashings of Marmite between two slices of bread, no butter or any other ingredients (Although spreading Marmite on soft bread is a challenge without tearing the bread).
Mixing Marmite with butter dilutes the taste.
Exactly, and it’s lovely if it’s mixed first with butter then spread on soft new bread.
@@jeanplunkett5580 For a more spreadable Marmite, I use Aldi's Yeast Extract, it tastes the same but isn't as thick.
One of the best meals I've ever had is diced steak marinated in Marmite in a slow cooker for a few hours to make a beautiful casserole.
But in my opinion buttering toast or crumpets before applying Marmite detracts from the taste of Marmite.
Yorkshire tea wins, American chocolate is terrible 😂marmite is not for everyone.
@@jollybodgernah plenty of unsalted butter and marmite is the best
Your reaction to Marmite is exactly how everyone reacts on the first taste, but thars true with all strong tasting things like, olives, anchovies etc but if course you can grow to love them. I would really recommend trying an even thinner layer, i was surprised queen boomer went into the jar twice. Some like it thick but really go with the thinnest smear where you can still see the toast through it.
Loved this type of video, hope you do some more. Glad you're a digestives fan 😂
For Marmite: think of it like soy sauce with a thicker texture. Use it very sparingly!
@@eclipse2263 God I love it on crumpets… That is honestly the best way to eat Marmite.
I prefer it thin, but can eat it spread thickly because I’ve been eating it all my life; but for someone’s first taste I would definitely say thin!
Good description - and Marmite could be used in place of soy in recepies, dissolved in hot water if needed..!
@@raycardy4843I often use marmite in stews exactly like this!
Saved Marmite till the end because everyone knows 😂
I was actually eating a Tunnock's caramel waffer as you had yours! Glad you liked it
Coffee crisp is Canadian btw. Also the marmite expiration is June 2024, its displayed as month/year
McVities Dark Chocolate!!😛 I use to demolish the smaller version with a cuppa in ten minutes!
Knew you wouldn't like the Marmite, far too thickly spread. Although not quite the same taste, think 'soy sauce'. You wouldn't like that if you filled your mouth with it, its a shock to the taste senses. Spread as thinly as you can ( visually a trace amount) on well buttered bread. Once you get a taste for it and get addicted, then increase. Those big jars take a lot of using up and they can pick a lot of butter up off your knife so dont keep so well. Keep persevering as its very good for you if you can forgive the salt. you can get reduced salt versions
Agree Yorkshire tea is the best tea, i think they are called digestives because they are good for the digestive system because of the bicarbonate soda.
A recent video produced by a London-based guy, originally from New Jersey, compared a basic shop at a mid-range UK supermarket with the same goods purchased at a Trenton supermarket. It incl fresh produce, bread, dairy, cereal, a little meat, etc. The cost in the US was 98% higher than in London. Of the 30 items, only tomatoes were cheaper in the US. Some items, such as ground beef, were three times higher in the US. 🥴
The Tunnock's range are from Scotland. The Tunnocks Tea Cakes are yummy, and the Snowballs are too 🏴
Everything Tunnock’s is bloody delicious!
@@Whippy99 Agreed. Tunnocks is a not a giant company, so they have to compete on price with the big players, yet still have that hand made quality.
@@russcattell955i if we have them in the house, I’m gaining 3lbs in one sitting!!! 🤣
King Boomer, for me Dark Chocolate Digestives are the KING of biscuits!!! If I open a packet, I finish them in one go!!!
oh yes! now you're talking, me too lol !!
McVities Digestives are pretty iconic in UK
Lion bar 🔥 also went a tad heavy there on the Marmite, go super thin layer. Epic video ^.^
Crispy crumpets from the toaster, with Lurpak (melted through) pissing with Marmite, is the ultimate breakfast :P I'm salivating thinking about it I'm gonna have some now lol
I have this every morning for breakfast. Though I use Clover which is nice and buttery tasting.
@@MG-jz6yoKerrygold on a crumpet? Éamon de Valera would be rolling in his grave.
don't know what a Coffee Crisp is but our Toffee Crisp looks completely different than what you had there
if you look at some of the products, like the Marmites seal it has the logo of the Crown 👑. that means that it's been approved by the Queen and means that she used to buy it for her palace.
but since the Queen is dead and we have a King, all logos need to be removed and can only be put back on if the King approves and buys it for the Palace.
Never heard of Border and I am a 77 year old Brit. Digestives come with Milk chocolate and no chocolate as well. The were originally marketed as a real digestive but food standards eventually said they couldn't advertise them that way. However, they still stuck with the name. Giuseppe Maria Garibaldi was an Italian general, patriot, revolutionary and republican. He contributed to Italian unification and the creation of the Kingdom of Italy. GARIBALDI biscuits were invented by Huntley & Palmer in 1864 and put on the market in that year when Giuseppe Garibaldi visited the UK. An American that says "Biscuit" wonderful. If you were British you deserve an award for one bite of Marmite, two bites must be worth an honorary Knighthood. Three bites usually gets you put into a Nursing Home.
Haha laughed at the marmite.
Just checked my jar and it exp JAN 24. That’s January 2024. The other numbers are production line numbers.
Also when baby starts solids give her marmite scraped on toast soldiers (fingers).
Both my boys were brought up on marmite and they are big strong adults now. Lots of babies over the years in the U.K. have been brought up on marmite. I guess they are in the “love it camp”
The confusion was that Americans use a dating system that goes month, day, year.
Whereas in the UK (and I think most of the world) uses day, month, year. Start with the shortest time (a day) to the longest time (year).
Agreed, just the month and year.
@@JarlGrimmToysa year is longer than a month 😆
@@ursidius damn, I was meant to write year. Shortest (day) to longest (year).
Corrected it now.
1960's Marmite baby here. I was fed Marmite soldiers by the bucketful so definitely in the 'love it' camp! Perfect on hot crumpets or with cheese on toast too.
Never heard of Coffee Crisp. You probably saw people saying Toffee Crisp.
The British candy that Nestle make is from when they bought Roundtrees Macintosh.who licenced out Kit Kat and Rolo to Hershey for the U.S.A market way back in the day..
Garibaldis are known as squashed fly biscuits! 🤣
Toast with butter.spread a thin layer ofMarmite .warm some Heinz baked beans.pour them over the marmite and for the more consummate gourmet add some cheese ( preferably Chedder) and melt it under a grill/ broiler .Once the cheese is boiling remove and consume with a hearty slurp of Tea. Enjoy
well done for putting butter on toast first, before spreading a thin layer of marmite. is how its supposed to be, and is great!
You don't put butter AND marmite together. Disgusting
That was too much marmite
@@Howlerssso you put marmite on dry toast ? 😂😂
@@dylanmurphy9389 yes. It's a spread. Why would you put another spread on top of a spread? jam, Nutella, Marmite, etc aren't meant to be used with butter lol
Marmite on top of buttered toast or buttered bread is heaven.
I’m a marmite addict and sometimes lick the marmite off the knife I’ve used to spread it.
Also a teaspoon of marmite dissolved in a mug of hot water is a great drink.
Never in my 54 years have i heard or seen coffee crisp here in uk? Definitely Not enough butter with the marmite. Just subscribed as your a lovely likeable couple! 🤗👍
27:07. The expiry date is JUNE 24.Which is June 2024. Usually Marmite has a TWO year shelf life.
Your face when you ate the Marmite was priceless, i was pissing myself laughing 😂😂😂 i luv Marmite, but it's true what they say you either love it or hate it, im glad you changed your mind though 😊
😂 omg me too! The second his face scrunched up, I burst out laughing 😂😂😂 I even went back several times and watched it again 😅
Marmite is really good for you if you're pregnant because it has folic acid in it- which helps the baby too :) Good effort in putting a small amount on, but to start with probably half the amount would be best, you almost have to scrape it off at the same time as putting it on, bit tricky to spread it thinly! :)
Marmite on toast dipped in a boiled egg, totally amazing.
Marmite peanut butter, eat it by the spoonful, lasts less than a week in my house. A bag of allsorts last one sitting.
Liquorice allsorts are assorted liquorice confectionery sold as a mixture. Made of liquorice, sugar, coconut, aniseed jelly, fruit flavourings, and gelatine, they were first produced in Sheffield, England, by Geo. Bassett & Co Ltd.
In 1899, Charlie Thompson, a Bassett's sales representative, supposedly tripped over and dropped a tray of samples he was showing a client in Leicester, mixing up the various sweets. After he scrambled to re-arrange them, the client was intrigued by the new creation. Quickly the company began to mass-produce the allsorts and they became a successful product.[citation needed]. Wikipedia.
Bounty is 🔥🔥🔥 how can ppl not like them 🤦♂️
I can't stand them, it's the texture I don't like, goes through me
I don't like them they make your mouth dry
Why am I staying up late to watch a random man eat sugary snacks? 😆 Welcome to the weird world of UK foods.
I used to deliver to the Marmite factory (CPC Manstall) on Wellington Road, Burton On Trent. The smell alone used to make me ill every time I went. It's made from the by products of all the breweries in Burton.
Hi to both of our Boomer Royalty, how is (soon to be) Princess Boomer, coming along? You seem to be mentioning the Football (Soccer) practice she gets up to on a regular basis. As mentioned below the Coffee Crisp is Canadian, and the Ginger biscuits are not a well known brand made in scotland, there are many lesser known biscuit makers who sell at an elevated price in the pretence that they are 'High Quality' or of a 'Selected' brand. Big medal to King for trying the Marmite, I wouldn't walk within 50 feet of a jar, and to confirm the use by date is month and year, so Queen didn't try to kill you for the life insurance. 😆🤣😃
All the others are quite common treats in the UK so you had a reasonable selection. The Digestive is the origional biscuit, then they added chocolate to them, both milk and dark. There is also a milk chocolate version with a bit of caramel sandwiched inbetween. Plain Digestive biscuits, as a point of interest, are crushed and mixed with hot butter or syrup (but not both) to make the base for homemade cheesecake.
Keep up the great work you are doing, I always apreciate your reactions They are always genuine.

This is my recommendation of how to start with Marmite :- Make sure the toast is hot, then butter the toast, take small bit (about the size of a broad bean or smaller if it turns out too strong) of Marmite and flavour the molten butter evenly, then enjoy, try to eat it warm not cold... If you like it then experiment with more Marmite... For me hot toast is crucial.... Once you are down with the taste , use it how you want, you will probably find that after a while you will just start adding more...
King you may want to look for an Indian grocery store, there's a good chance they will have Jaffa Cakes and a whole lot of other British groceries, you should also check out Cadburys Flake.
Most Walmarts in the states sell Jaffa Cakes. (Sometimes even the special fruit ones!) Source: American living in the UK, visiting the Midwest regularly.
Digestives were invented by 2 Scottish doctors, they were believed to have antacid properties because of the bicarbonate soda used as an ingredient. (and because more of the bran is left in the flour used for baking) so a bit like bran flakes in biscuit form
they are consistently ranked as the best biscuit in the UK for dunking :) the technique is dunk it just long enough that the chocolate starts to melt (they are even good when dunked in coffee)
Hi K.B., the original & best Jaffa Cakes are McVities, IMO. The same applies to Bassett`s Liquorice Allsorts, though sadly they were bought out. Some background info for you, the Original Bassett`s company ran from 1842 - 1989, bought out by Cadbury`s but product continued unchanged under same name.
Then in 2010, Cadbury`s were themselves taken over by Mondelez International, who in 2016 changed the product to Maynards Bassett`s Liquorice Allsorts. Like Maynards used to be, Taveners is another rival sweet maker, I`ve never had their Liquorice Allsorts.
Literally just tuned in whilst eating marmite on toast here in UK !! Small amount on a knife and spread very thinly on buttered toast, nice. If you spread it on thickly it will make your toes curl. It's expensive here as well, think I paid four quid for a big jar last week.
The chocolate Digestives have the chocolate on the bottom, not the top. While this might shock a few, it’s true - they are floated over a trough of liquid chocolate in the manufacturing process and the word Digestive is on top.
Then why do they show it chocolate side up on the packaging? 😏
Plenty of hints are manufactured upside down.
@@c_n_b Probably to prove they have a chocolate coating on the bottom, as opposed to the plain Digestives. Shoppers do tend to go by appearance rather than read the packaging. It’s why products made for and sold by Aldi look so similar to big name brand products.
No, it's June 2024. Expiry dates on our goods read as the first three letters of the month and then the last two digits represent the year.
The toast has to be hot with lots of butter by the way
Some information for you both.... the Digestive biscuit is so called because when it was first made in 1839 is was believed that it aided digestion and was a cure for wind.
I love Marmite, just watching you eat a bit made me go make some. Yummy!😋
I know. I've just had tea, but now I want to go and toast a bagel to get some more Marmite in my system.
Queen Boomer might like the Fry's Chocolate Cream (Britain's oldest Chocolate Bar still in production). It's a dark chocolate bar (blue packet) or Peppermint (green packet) fondant in the middle. Bloody sweet but very tasty.
The expiration date will be month/year. Its also more likely to be a "best before" date rather than "use by". Don't forget we do dates in ascending order - day/month/year. So that will be end of June 2024.
The blue pack is plain fondant no flavouring and is the world’s oldest mass produced chocolate bar/confectionery.
That's not spearmint, wtf! 🤣🤣🤣
I’m in a car club for these very old style English cars called Morgans. Check those out. They were the last English-owned car manufacturer until the family sold out a few years back. They’re like 1930s sports cars, even though they have modern BMW engines.
Not sporty in a modern sense, but really good fun.
I can’t afford one, but I used to share one with my mother.
Anyway, it was with the Morgan Sports Car Club that we went to Kiplin Hall. Our current Prime Minister has a house nearby.
The hall was home to Lord Baltimore and there is a campus of the University of Maryland there.
I didn’t make the connection til I saw a family crest, and recognised it as being the same pattern as the Ravens crest from midfield!
Digestives were originally made for your digestive system, they ain’t a laxative but they’re good for your health!
