Perfect symbiotic relationship: the Brits swill massive amounts of beer.
Brewing beer provides massive amounts of yeast.
Yeast is concentrated and added to a secret ingredient: equally massive amounts of salt.
Marmite has enough salt to induce raging thirst.
Which requires more beer...
Devilishly clever...
Heh.
Or you think the brits drink a lot of beer, it’s far behind Germany and Germany is only on 3rd place 😂
@@AlexandreBFK *laughing in Czech*
Love the „heh“ at the end 🤗
and tastes a bit beefy so we are called roast beef lol.
And beer is dehydrating, so you end up dying
If you're making scrambled eggs on toast, spread some Marmite on the toast before the eggs go on. Also stir a generous teaspoonful into stews and casseroles.
Yep, that’s my go to for scrambled eggs too👍, and for omelette on toast. No salt in the eggs, just the Marmite on the toast. I live in Asia and, if I run out of the stock I bring back from trips to the U.K, I have to pay about £10 here in specialist supermarkets for a medium jar of the stuff. Totally worth it though as it’s an essential part of breakfast.🤗
Agreed. A scraping of Marmite or Bovril on toast makes almost anything that is on top of it taste better. Cheese, eggs, beans, etc.
Brushed over chicken wings just before you bake them. so good.
Ah, you use it as seasoning haha
@@presterjohn71 it contains a load of monosodium glutamate, which makes everything tasty!
Was born in the UK and came to Canada at age 7. Can't remember a time when I didn't eat it and I am now in my 70s. It is sometimes hard to find in Canada and it is a tad expensive, but a jar lasts a long time. I don't care for jam, but enjoy Marmite on buttered toast for breakfast. Also I love a baguette, spread with butter, a smear of Marmite and some grated cheese. Can't imagine life without Marmite.
@@enidlock6962 Thank you, I'll have to remember to check the baking aisles. Seems like a strange place to put it.
@@maryoleary2037 Probably because it says yeast extract, so they put it with the dried yeast 😂
@@UTleochi Thanks for the tip!
Or mix Marmite with cream cheese for a less concentrated flavor, a little goes a long way..
@@worldtechuk3324 Great idea, thank you. I'll give it a try.
*once I got used to it, marmite on toast is outstanding - that salty umami hitting your tongue just above the sweet butter and bread is addictive*
Marmite: Pure umami crack! 😋
so basically it's dehydrated yeast guts mixed with vegetable stock.
Essentially, yes.
It’s very nice👍👍👍👍
Eew. Animal guts! I always thought of it as plant based! Ugh!
@@elteescat yeast aren't animals though?
@@marlonmarquez4798 they eat and they even cannibalize other yeast. And they survive without sunlight. I think they're invertebrate animals. I've never researched them though.
Make some toast butter it and then spread some marmite on it. Who ever thought of taking leftovers from brewing beer and thinking I can eat this was an absolute genius
Add a teaspoon or two of marmite to gravy. Great umami boost.
I've tried it it's amazing!
You might be onto something there :D
@@fluffigverbimmelt And some MSG or an MSG flavoring like Maggi. Umami is it!
Exchange marmite with Vegemite. Have your wormhole explode.
@@The.Drunk-Koala Not sure how easy it is to get Vegemite here in Canuckistan... of course, Amazon has all .... And for the record, my wormhole is doing just fine. LOL
Literally just had seeded toast with butter and Marmite and wondered...how they make it 🤣 obsessed with it! Been eating it since i was born i think haha
I'm in the US, and between Marmite and Vegemite I prefer Marmite. It has a more "rounded" less sharp taste.
Team Vegemite here with this American
I've tried Marmite as a drink, In a mug, mix one teaspoon of marmite with hot water until marmite dissolves fully, and this is a great substitute for tasty warm soup
I prefer the taste of Marmite, but Vegemite is easier to spread.
@@shanebond550 I've made it into soup before. It was just like beef broth.
@@dddayesq5061 I never thought of that.
Another product I will never be able to taste.
Perhaps a blessing in disguise..
I love me some Marmite. I can hardly cook without it! It’s awesome as a stock/base for soups, sauces, etc....
I'm sorry you're experiencing trouble with your taste buds! 👎😂
I like to make gravy with it
If you ever find yourself in Switzerland in urgent need for marmite, get some Cenovis, our "Swiss" Marmite equivalent. :D
Is it like Marmite, but with 20 jewels and a retrograde calendar?
@@CristiNeagu LOL! That would be tough on your digestive system! :)
Tell us more. The Swiss are very clever.
who in they right mind though "oh let me make yeast extract and sell it to people to eat" made it, tasted it, it tasted like shti, said "lets just add celery" tasted it again, it still tasted like shti and was like "yep that will become a succesful product" and it did😂
Marmite spread on salteen crackers... Yum.
The amount of marmite I put on my bread would kill a normal person
I put lots of Marmite on my bread, and I fucking love it.
I could eat Marmite from a spoon.
I could dip my crisps in Marmite.
I rather eat herring ngl
Same
I just tried it today for the first time , half tsp on toasted bread and love it !
Me too. We call it Vegemite here.
It sounds like the had left over by products from the beer factories and they made a product out of it just so they dont have to throw anything away
Those British will eat anything except food.
Exactly.
Same goes with cottonseed oil.
It was called ww2
That's exactly it. They had tons of a perfectly edible substance and it was ridiculous to just throw it all away so they made it into a food product.
I love umami. Sat here eating marmite on toast watching this.
Loved it for years Marmite👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
People around the World don't know: *we have Marmite crisps (chips) in the UK* 😂
marmite pasta, if you haven't tried and you like marmite, do it. so good!
A lite schmutz On heavily buttered English muffins........oh yeah !
'Im coming, im coming' steady on love 😂😂
She did say she's been around a few factories 😂
Steve, I'm giving you a promotion!
*M A R M I T E*
Yep, now you're fired.
poor Steve!! he hates it but has to eat it
I love marmite
Cheese and marmite between 2 pieces of eggie bread, you're welcome 😋
Food of the gods.
I'm American and I love the stuff. Worth the extra cost to get it shipped in overseas.
Grow up with Marmite! 💜
It’s fab on hot buttered crumpets too... 😄
i like the guys spray tan.
"I don't know what that secret ingredient is" wow you don't say lol
The question is why!?! Not how
I think the bloke showing her around the factory spreads marmite on his face
He uses red dye like trump uses orange dye.
Whagwan ainsley
I wouldn’t blame him if he did, marmite is a god send
lads at the marmite factory seem sound
How is this Halaal? And why don't the breweries reuse the yeat?
Why would it not be halal? And often yeast is reused by breweries, but obviously if they can make more money selling it to these guys they would…
1. One simply doesn’t make marmite 😂
2:23 Kate finds Marmite a bit too exciting
Australian has vegimite
didn't the massive tub of secret ingredient have a label on it?
While arriving at the factory to putting the safety gear on Kates clothes change at least twice.
I noticed that. The pink socks give it away :P
Wow. His face is so tanned compared to his neck and possibly body.
2:19 that factory worker gives me creep vibes
I love that Marmite release advertising like this, even their own chief taster hates it, I love the stuff!!!
It's all part of their branding love it or hate it. But everyone has probably tried it at least once
@@benmcnutt223 I'd like to, but I haven't. It's not a thing in my country, unfortunately.
Plot twist: they picked him because he loved it. But now this is him 100k QA test spoons of it later.
@@abdulmasaiev9024 Or they picked him because he hates it so he will waste the least amount of product to do his job well.
@@DreadDeimos you can get it at any supermarket if you look in the international sections.
I love marmite
Secret ingredients, 10 million tons of salt
True
Same as KFC weirdly...
Well if you think about it, cell innards wouldve been very delicious to any living cells that came into contact with it. It would quickly rot without that excess salt
That's why you have it in moderation, its concentrated flavour and is used as a seasoning.
Maybe the real secret is the friends we made on the way
You turn your friends in to a pulp that is mixed in to Marmite? That's a bit monstrous, don't you think?
Yes
Yes yes yes this man is the man
Yes
Headass
As a 34 yo Brazilian, I tried yeast extract recently after my sister-in-law moved to London. I'm OBSESSED. I wish they sold this in Brazil.
they do its called Cenovis, have a look around
She: I can't tell if he is joking?
He: He is not joking...😂
They definitely could have chosen someone better to show her around lmfao
I agree... somehow he seems less interested to show her around
@@paranoidz6 she's bothering the crap out of him and you can see it by the way he acts
Marmite is people! It's people!!
Go straight to the credits..
Shadow bird Playz Yeast is a microorganism, marmite is its ground up variant.
Shadow bird - Soylent Green.
If they removed salt from marmite I would eat it more.
Mmmmm :)
Just give me a jar of this and some hot buttered toast. ^_^ Best stuff ever.
I love putting it on roasted garlic pita chips. So yummy 😋. I'm also American and the only one in my household that loves it.
Absolutely!
I love it on my homemade fried bread!
Once a Marmite baby always a Marmite baby. Lovely Jubbly.
I always love it when a food factory looks just like an oil refinery.
Marmite tastes like it was made in an Oil Refinery! 👎😂
Cleanest oil refinery I've ever seen
Marmite resembles Grease but taste like Heaven.
Most of them looks like this.
Marmite makes a great emergency survival food for non-Brits. You sure won't eat it until you need to eat it to survive.
Hot buttered toast, then a tiny amount of marmite as a seasoning... Its not jelly, you don't want layers of it.
@@carrieullrich5059 I bought a jar once and slowly finished it using it just like you said, it's ok, I just like to poke fun at the stuff.
I have LOVED Marmite for at least the last 70 years.
I sure will eat it before "needing to eat it to survive". A jar doesn't spend much time in my cupboard before it's all gone.
So no one noticed the strange tan line in his neck?
He knew he was being filmed so he got makeup I reckon...
He got her so excited she said: 2:23
That's what she said!
And she said "I'm coming, I'm coming"
My friends in England used to constantly try to sneak it into my food because I hate it so much. They even put it on the inside of a sandwich… Just barely with different condiments… I got it about an inch from my lip and said “nope!“ 😂 a game commenced to try to get me to eat it. One person put it in a roast and I thought that was delicious
Its like msg. A lot of umami. Mostly too much, but once diluted, its kinda ok. I used to whisk it into my eggs some time ago
@@de0509 I do like using MSG and umami flavors. OK if a bottle suddenly falls out of the sky and I have been putting no effort into going to get any I will try to use it in my cooking to see how it impacts flavor. Maybe in a spaghetti sauce… I use anchovies in that…
@@cornflake233 If you make your own salad dressing, I highly recommend 1/2 tsp in a vinaigrette.
@@swisski I do and I will. But I won’t go out of my way… 😂 twice burned.
@@cornflake233 MSG is often given a bad Rap. Consumed in great quantities, like anything it could be harmful
So they make millions of jars of it but nobody likes it? Not even Steve who works on the production line?
because they knew what the secret ingredient is, ITS PEOPLE!
@@Psychopatz Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!
Look at that factory. There's probably like 10 guys running it and the rest are automated.
Thats how it is now
Yeah I was expecting more. The marmite process is actually quite boring. I do love the stuff tho!
@@evergreen6638 yeah that's my point. Automation.
Valhalla, Mecca and the holy grail can't hold a candle to the Marmite factory!
I have to find the re-branded stuff "My Mate' here in Aus!
I'm partial to "Gentleman's Relish" from the UK. I like anchovies.
Believe me. The best japanese soy sauce taste alike. To short cut making good soy sauce. Buy the medium range good soy sauce and mic a bit sufficient portion in the soy sauce will taste similar premium japanese soy sauce. HaHaHa
2:23 HEYOOOOOOOOO
Hahaha
Was looking for this haha
LOL
In brazil they make Marmitex. It is usually made in a tin bowl with Rice, beans and meat
That's a bad joke.
People do not realize how good marmite is good for you . people hate it or love it.
Yeah, no. The amount of salt in that thing is nothing but healthy
1:39 Trying to figure out how her mouth shape is open but she makes all of those different vowel sounds.
My dad used to mixed it with hot water and drink it in a tea cup. It tasted wonderful.
Bovril
@@tent7014 Thanks for clearifyying that. 👍
@@tent7014 I was going to say "Bonox", but the same stuff.
@@jpjp6233 2 different things.
This guy's got a career in broadcasting...00:25
These are some really Brit-flavor people, love it.
Im pretty sure the secret ingredient is: pure evil.
Then give me pure evil as often as if devilishly possible.
@@diogenesesenna9323 freight train by night ok?
@@basilsherbshelfmostly3538 Is the freight train full of the delicious magical evil that is Marmite?
@@diogenesesenna9323 most likely
@@basilsherbshelfmostly3538 I'll take the risk. I'll put the toast on, you can bring on the Marmite Train.
Edit : He Betrayed me - it was full of Vegimite.
I think it's less of a question of "how", and more of a question of "why". I'm joking. I'd love to give it a go.
I’ve got a collie (the scottish, big furrie one!) and he just loves Marmite... and so do I!
We’re having it on toast every morning for brekfast.❤️❤️👍
Grrretings from Sweden🇸🇪
Det är bra!
Yep, my dog loves it too. I think all dogs do.....
When the guy in charge of production says
"I don't like it"🙄
I love it so much, I'm watching video's about the stuff.
Marmite is basically the same as Vegimite.
As an Australian I can tell you that the only way to serve it on toast is really really thick!
Mmmmmmmm.
Hugh Jackman wants a word with you after he gets done with Jimmy Fallon 😏
Vegemite can't be as good.
The colour difference between this guy's face and neck is unbelievable
So what happens to the yeast shells after they are separated from the yeast innards????
High protein Animals feed
Sold to Americans as coffee.
@@peetah Haha! Good thing that I only drink tea! :-)
Since Brexit its ridiculously expensive in Italy where I live, I decided to stop eating it, I am 72 and have been eating Marmite from childhood, I do not feel right with no marmite low energy, absent minded so I sent for some its coming tomorrow
Sounds like you have a marmite problem.
Sheer ambrosia, food of the gods.
I'm sorry you're experiencing trouble with your taste buds! 👎😂
Do people remember Soylent Green?
As an Aussie I disapprove of this product.
Agreed! ... I’m an Aussie, my mother is British. So we had both growing up. It’s got nothing on Vegemite.
I was told by a friend it's old dried up granny's from Wales
@3:18 yep, they're in there
Don't be silly... They're from Scotland!
I love marmite but cannot stand Vegemite. Vegemite tastes soapy to me. What’s different between the two?
just google
Marmite tastes better but Vegemite is easier to spread.
The secret ingredient is just some sort of vegetable stock.
I thought it was dirty socks.
From South Tx here and I love the stuff. Just eat it straight out of the tub. Thanks Amazon.
As a born and raised Canadian, I only began to appreciate and crave Marmite once Scotch, Irish Whiskey and Bourbon stated to appeal to my palate at age 26. Haven't stopped loving it since then.
Step 1: Stand in tar pit
Step 2: Pray to the tar pit gods
Congratulations, enjoy your Marmite.
I love marmite I can eat it with just a spoon in the jar omg x
Marmite and cheese on toast.
Watching this from South Africa, a staple in our pantry. Just to bad that the price has doubled since start of lockdowm
Agree. It's SO expensive now but hell forbid can't be without it! I hide it far away just in case😅
not the first marmite video t'owd Sinj has been in :D
I have to import Marmite (I'm a Brit living in the USA... not fishing for sympathy here), which is bloody expensive. A big jar lasts me a couple of days or so.
Ok I’m American now I want to try some
Let us know when you've figured out your allegiance 'for' or 'against' Marmite.
Believe it or not, it's fairly easy to find in the U.S. Just look in the international section of the grocery store. I've found the best way to eat it is to make some buttered toast and then spread a THIN layer of Marmite on top. Warning, it is extremely salty, probably even more than soy sauce. It's not bad I think, but a little goes a long way.
@@LoveClassicMusic0205 or you can try Amazon.
HA
My kids made me try it every year on my birthday as a joke (hated the stuff even though my wife loved it)
After 10 years of torture, I *LOVE* it
Marmite is the equivalent to Solent Green for those in the know.😁👍
Please tell more!
That's why I love it
I've been hunting for 'How Bovril is made.' Love to see you do a visit to their factory.
me too!
They've got a license to print money, right there, and the copper and stainless rigging will last generations. No wonder they're all smiles!.
I love marmite. It's amazing stuff, especially on wholemeal bread.
Here after watching Taskmaster s5e4
Saaaaame
