One of the most famous British food staples is Marmite - you either love it, or hate it! As an expat in the UK, I tried using marmite in 3 different: do you agree with my final verdict??

Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a TH-cam video every Tuesday plus an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch.

"If you're tired of marmite, you are tired of life" Marmite Johnson
I am an American and I love Marmite, I always bring a couple big jars back when I visit the UK. I like it on buttered toast with think slices of white cheddar and cucumber. I put a teaspoon in stews and have glazed beef with it too.
Marmite: Love it
Alanna's physical repulsion to Marmite: LOVE IT!
😂
Marmite is the food of the Gods. Just bought a new jar today!
I am English and I think Marmite is absolutely repulsive!!
More like the food of satan.
Canadian here, and I LOVE Marmite!
OH MY WORD YA GIRL HAS AN EMMA MATTRESS SPONSORSHIP!! As someone who has followed A&N for a loooong time I have to say it is so so so satisfying to see you succeed Alanna!
Thank you so much pal, I really appreciate it!! ☺️
I know I'm in the tiny minority here, but I will happily eat marmite straight out of the jar with a spoon. its just so amazing
So will I
I'm the same with Vegemite 😀 I don't find Marmite salty enough and don't like the runny texture, but if I'd grown up eating Marmite I'd be sure to love it. If I couldn't get Vegemite, I could certainly make do with Marmite for my toast, but I wouldn't eat it off a spoon because of the runny-ness 🥰
WOW, hardcore!
Big spoonfull in a cup of boiling water. Oh yes, food of the gods
Yep me too 🤣
Love it. Great on buttered toast but also makes a great addition to stews
And roast potatoes, roast beef, roast chicken. Gods I’m hungry now
@@dandelionmel shame Alanna didn't do this for an April 1st as we could have said "Try Marmite ripple ice cream."
@@rbrooks2007 I bet the sweet and salty would actually be quite nice
And in gravy - any kind of sauce
@@dandelionmel now you've got me thinking!
As a Canadian of a British background, I do love Marmite. However my Canadian friends and family this I'm completely mad and they think it's disgusting! I'm now off to try some Marmite pasta for dinner! ;) Your reaction was fantastic! LOL
Marmite is the best! I haven't found a single application where it doesn't work and I'm even happy to sit and eat it with a spoon... Maybe I have a problem lol.
But not as big as Alanna's problem. Those expressions were priceless.
I love how Alanna is willing to subject herself to foods that she knows will not be a pleasant experience for her all in the name of science...
🙏🏻
True, it is very admirable and Alanna beats Michael Mosley! ❤
Marmite on toast, I can't believe you forgot the cup of tea that goes with it.
love it!
Toast, marmite and cheese, yum!
I have a Marmite recipe book, loads of uses
Specifically with the cheese toasted also so if is melted for me!
really enjoying this series!
As for a recipe it could be used in a roux based cheese sauce. Also McVities used to make Marmite Mini Cheddars in the 90s loved these.
Marmite mini cheddars were boss 👍
Marmite and cheese savoury bites -sheet of ready roll pastry, water some marmite down with warm water (as weak as you like) and 'paint' half the sheet with it. Cover that with grated cheese, fold over, cut in bitesize fingers and bake in the oven.
...also, beans on toast, cheese under the beans and Marmite spread on the toast...OMG, it's wonderful.
The way I try to describe Marmite to a 'not-knower' is to say if you take a really mature cheddar, but then you "remove the cheddar" from the equation, the sharp-salty-savoury thing left, is kinda Marmite.
Love it especially in a toasted Sandwich spread on both sides with a nice thick slice of Davidstow Cheddar.
Anything with Davidstow, I'll give it a go lol
Absolutely love it. Delicious stuff!
I'm afraid nobody from the other side of "The Pond" gets what us Brits call toast. It is not a limp slice of warmed bread with a hint of colouration on it. Our toast is dark, possibly slightly carbonised in places and very crisp. It is buttered whilst still red hot and immediately a thin layer of Marmite is applied, and then "straight down the hatch". BOOTIFUL!
Alanna, Another fun video, I agree with you on Marmite, but it was your comment on Garlic that I really loved. A truly wonder ingredient that enhanced any savory cooking, just add more. Thanks again for your channel and I hope you get well soon.
Please try Marmite Peanut butter.... its incredible
I'm pretty sure we did marmite peanut butter on Patreon! 🤢
Absolute win! It is amazing.
LOVE IT ! Even have bread with mine . I spread it thick. It also makes a great addition to gravy.
RECIPE FOR Carbonara: is made with fried bacon and some garlic. You fry the bacon with the garlic and then you add Greece and all to raw egg yokes and fresh grated Parmesan cheese and a little cream. The hot grease and bacon and pasta will cook and thicken the egg yolks and melt the cheese into a sauce.
Love it!
Love it on toast, and as a way to add umami to soups, stews, and sauces.
I have just had my daily fix of Marmite on toast for my supper. Love it!!
You should try Marmite XO. The XO stands for X-tra Old and you might think it would be even less palatable, but it's the opposite. The ageing process actually makes it more mild.
Love it! You can get Lynx marmite shower gel, too! It smells lovely.
I remember as a kid for some insane reason I wanted to prove to my folks that I loved it, so they gave me Marmite on toast and 🤢 That probably scarred me for life. This vid didn’t exactly persuade me to try it again but it’s a reminder Alanna makes content I love. Cheers!
😂 oh nooo!
Apparently ASDA Yeast Extract tastes literally identical to Marmite... But it's much easier to spread... This allows you to control the amount on the toast and spread it sparingly... But most people that try it for the first time... Don't spread it thinly enough on "Hot Buttered Toast" to consume immediately... They let the toast go cold and the Marmite then becomes a nightmare to spread... Then they'll spread it on thick like Nutella... The amount needed on one slice of toast should be no more than the size of your little fingernail... But no matter how many times you tell people... They never listen or learn... It has to be spread on "Hot Buttered Toast"... 🙄 So your Butter should already be loaded up on your knife and ready to spread the second the toast jumps out of the toaster... You could also try Marmite in your Gravy too... Or even putting a teaspoon of Marmite in a cup or mug and filling it with boiling water from the kettle... Then stir it until it's all dissolved and drink it like a Soup or Bovril. ☕ Some like to put Grated Cheese on Marmite and toast too... Cheers Alanna. 🍺 👍
Marmite, peanut butter and cheese toastie. Honestly delish.
Love it. It can be a bit strong for some. One thing you can do is mix your butter/marg with the marmite first then you have a fast spread. It is very good for Vit B12.
I actually love Marmite Alanna but regarding using it as a cooking ingredient, it can be really good in a bolognese or similar, where it's not the principal flavour but it just adds depth and body to the overall experience.
I loved watching this video.
I tried Marmite once about fifty years ago and had a nearly identical reaction, haven't touched it since!
Thank you Alanna for confirming I'm not mad!
marmite is great in spaghetti bolognese. my wife hates marmite but would never go without it in her spaghetti lol. Personally i love marmite with anything , the more the better lol.
Great video! I was late to Marmite because we didn't have it in the house as a kid. I guess my parents were in the Hate category. It became an acquired taste as a university student. I now love it.
For cooking, shove a teaspoon in a bolognese sauce or chili con carne. Makes it rich and meaty. My other half is veggie and it helps even more with quorn mince. In fact, I'd say it's essential if cooking with quorn mince.
Great show
White bread toasted, with butter then a light smearing
Marmite on hot buttered toast is heaven on earth. Something else I love, and was a staple of my childhood, but seems to be relatively unnown outside my perculiar family, is marmite and cucumber sandwiches. Just made from simple buttered white sliced bread spread with marmite and then topped with thin slices of cucumber. Delicious with a cup ot tea.
I absolutely love Marmite on buttery toast 😋. honestly you just can't beat it I also enjoy Marmite as a hot drink yummy especially during the winter months. What I do when I want my Marmite I warm the spoon first and for me it makes it easier. Thank you Alanna for this video it was great.peace and love 💛
I occasionally use Marmite as a soup or casserole stock. Think of it as a substitute for beef stock.
I love it! I also love that who we that ran down you spine when you first tried the cashews 😆
I have Marmite on toast every morning for breakfast. I love it.
I'm a bit of a Marmite addict - love it! On toast, in gravy, twiglets, anything. But my brother won't even allow it in his house!
Finally, a sponsorship linkup for the Naps part of the channel!
Large amount of spinach, large dessert spoon of crunchy peanut butter, teaspoon of marmite. Boil the kettle - let it cool a bit (but still hot). Then put everything in a blender and blend until smooth. Delicious smooth green and healthy soup 😋
Love it!
My favourite way to eat it? Directly from the jar.
Marmite on toast with a poached egg is sublime
"a cooking meal type recipe" Classic Alanna 😊👌
just plain marmite spaghetti from nigella lawson, cook the spaghetti tip out into a colander but keep half a cup of the pasta water , put back into the cooking pot along with a t-spoon of marmite and a knob of butter cover the pasta with the liquid and add some fresh parmesan, it's even better if you have some of the limited edition truffle marmite
I like Marmite, only use a little bit at a time though. My daughter on the other hand will use great big dollops of the stuff on her toast! 😝
Ok hear me out.... one slice marmite, one slice honey, put them together like a sandwich... DIVINE!!
Someone dared me to try it and it's actually an amazing sweet & savoury pairing!
Thank you for this. I bloody love marmite. On toast, crumpets, Tayties & Onions, Stews, as a hot drink, crisp sarnies, with toasted cheese etc...
FYI. Marmite is not available in Switzerland. They can not figure out what it is perhaps? So, along with Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, Marmite has been exiled.
Thank you Alanna, you really did work hard for us! I LOVE Marmite! But..... on your toast, spread the marmite as thin as you can and as little as you can, when the toast is warm, you had about 4 times more than I would have! Half a teaspoon of Marmite is plenty to add to any recipe, dip the spoon in hot water first! I hope your tummy and your head were not too upset.
Love it, great on Sarnies, toast, in stews & cassrole & with cheese lovely stuff
We actually invented Marmite as a way of exposing foreign spies.
Love it!!😁 Two teaspoons in your recipe seemed a lot? Try a strong cheddar cheese sandwich with a smear of Marmite or Nigella Lawson's spaghetti and Marmite. One that I know a lot of people who do not like Marmite do like is potato noisettes that have been cooked and then tossed in a combination of butter and Marmite. Lovely. Great video Alanna.
Love it. Reminds me of the Marmite sandwiches I used to take to school in the '60's. Very economical! Must be spread very thinly. Also good spread on buttered crumpets or, added to soups & stews.
Cheese and Marmite sandwiches were the staple of my packed lunches for school trips in the 60's. Thanks mum!
Hello again, When I was a kid many, many years ago, we often had a roast beef joint for Sunday lunch. In those days a lot of fat was left on the meat by the butcher, which during cooking "moisturised" the meat and also rendered down into "beef dripping". This was collected from the roasting pan in a jug and was allowed to cool and solidify. A dark brown "scum" would then rise to the surface of the dripping. This was absolutely gorgeous when spread on hot toast. It usually started family fights over who was going to get to eat it. Happy days!
When my darling Mum was a child (during the depression and many things were scarce), she and her siblings loved "a piece" which was a slice of bread and dripping (not 'fresh' dripping, the stuff that had all the yummy bits from the roast in it). Mum's parents came to Australia from Staffordshire, so maybe Nanna brought the idea from home. I do know that Mum said it was absolutely delicious 👍
If you're trying to measure out 'sticky stuff' like treacle, golden syrup or indeed marmite, it helps if you dip your spoon in boiling water first: it lessens the adhesion of the 'glob' to the spoon.
Marmite is delicious on tost or crumpets. You can mix a little with butter to make it easier to spread.
It looks lovely! Its been along time since you did a cooking video? Hope you do more of them thanks
Alanna, you have *nailed* this thumbnail. Bravo.
Love, love, love marmite on toast. I also like it on buttered white bread and you fold it over to make a sandwich, nibble off the crusts, squeeze the sides together to make a delicious marmitey buttery parcel and finish off the best middle bit, nom nom nom. Also love twiglets.
A director of the Japanese company I worked for would fly in with strict instructions from his children to bring back Marmite. He'd been posted to London years before and his kids had got a taste for it but they couldn't get it in Tokyo.
My kids love it; I don't care much either way, though it's quite good on crumpets.
It's difficult to spread on toast because it's not meant to be spread. You don't want a thorough coating. It's meant to be smeared. You want to aim at about a half a teaspoonful per slice as a beginner.
If you doubt the 'love it or hate it' branding google 'old marmite ads', they took the campaign to the extreme.
Love it. Thick white bread, butter & marmite with helping of cheese
Love it Alanna
I love this stuff, always have. Thickly spread on toast is delicious.
Marmite is absolutely splendid!
Alanna, you MUST try a Marmite drink! Super when you are under the weather... a small spoon of Marmite in a mug and add hot water and stir! Yummy! thank you thank you thank you - what a hoot watching you try it, and we had those cashews at Christmas - gorgeous!!
Delicious love it on everything, Walkers marmite flavour crisps are to die for!
I Love Marmite :) I can easily eat a teaspoon of it straight out the jar.
My favourite is to have it on buttered toast (lots of butter so it mixes nicely and a thinner amount than you spread), or on buttered crumpets.
Also, Marmite peanut butter is amazing on toast!
So if you want to use it really well add a spoonful to a Chilli or ragu or gravy or any thick meaty sauce. It works really well as it adds a layer to the flavour but because its a background flavour it probably wont give you the same reaction that you are currently getting. Not even sure you'd notice it other than it just tasting like a nice deep sauce.
American here. Love Marmite!
Love it on toasted buttered crumpets. Mellower and utterly scrumptious, as it mixes with hot butter. Your aversion to Marmite is similar to mine to Parmesan. They're both brilliant at ruining otherwise good food.
I love it! I even buy the XO variety and also mix it with honey to spread on toast. Yum! 😘
This made me hungry. I need 4 slices of Marmite toast now! 🥰
if you are making your own tomato based pasta sauce add 1 teaspoon of marmite (or any other yeast extract) to the hot liquid and it will help it devolope a mild meaty flavour and you use the spoon that you mesured it from the jar to mix it in. If you go marmite brand get the squeezy bottle for ease of use.
I lean towards loving it, marmite is best with melted cheddar on toast, or in cheese and marmite puff pastry twists that I make, or a little bit in beef chilli gives it a great beefy flavour x
It's the first thing we pack when we go away. Cannot live without it.
Love it!!
Hi Alanna great video I love marmite had marmite on toast for my lunch today yum yum yum thanks 👍👍
I listened to a BBC radio prog recently that talked about taste buds and how some people are especially sensitive to bitter tastes. Good news is, it might make you less susceptible to infection ( despite your illness )
Make your toast, butter the toast, put a little bit of marmite on your knife, scrape the marmite off of the knife back into the jar, rub the knife across the toast. There will, most likely, still be too much marmite on the toast.
If you get Goosebumps then you really love them, As that's a great feeling
The trick to Marmite, and everyone thinks I'm crazy, is to toast the bread, then put it in the freezer for 20 minutes.
You want the toast stone cold so that the butter doesn't melt. Spread the butter on thick, like a plasterer covering a wall. Then spread on the Marmite, a fair amount, not too much, not too little. It mixes with the butter and that's what makes it taste delicious.
With warm toast the butter melts into the bread, then when you spread on the Marmite, all you taste is Marmite.
Before everyone writes me off as a lunatic, try it!
Love love love it. Thick white bread, real butter, marmite spread THIN. Looks like the Marmite is waaay too thick on your toast.
Try cheese sandwich and a thin spreading of Marmite.
Good watching you trying this wonderful product.
All the best.
Love it, especially on toast.
Actually I'm one of those unusual people who don't absolutely love it... but I certainly don't hate it! I remember being introduced to Twiglets at a friend's birthday party way back when I was about ten years old... I'd never actually heard of them before and didn't particularly like them. However as I grew older I started to lose my sweet tooth. Now I love Twiglets. Also I've eaten meals that used Marmite as an ingredient and they were fine.
Brilliant. I grinned so much my face aches! Marmite. Love it. On toast. On crumpets. On a sandwich, maybe with a good sharp cheese. The thicker the better - although it can feel like it's removing the skin from the roof of your mouth. Also a dash in a meaty soup or stew to bring out the meaty flavour. But even I'm not sure about Marmite in a pasta sauce.
I used to love Marmite but lived outside of the UK for many years and lost the habit. Next time I'm out shopping I'm going to get a jar - thanks for reawakening the memory. By the way just shopped an Emma mattress using your link. Cheers...
Try Bovril Alanna - use it straight from the jar on toast or bread just like Marmite. It burns less, has more flavour without aftertaste and spreads better.
Marmite smeared on potatoes before you roast them are lovely.
I love Marmite on toast. It disappeared off the shelves here in South Africa at the end of the peak of Covid-19, apparently because of the shortage of the yeast by-product from the breweries. Thankfully it's back again.
Tip, before the butter melts add a small amount of marmite.
I love both carbonara and marmite. I also love bolognese and tinned sardines but common sense tells me they don't belong together.
Try marmite in a savoury beef stew or cottage pie, you'll be surprised.
Add the cashews into some egg noodles and have it with a chow mein and you might change your mind. Also brush it on a steak and fry or grill it
