Marmite is EDIBLE? wow, I learn new things every day. I mean I know he stuff is tasty. I love it actually. But it is about as edible and healthy as black-burned toast that had been drowned in salt. .....tastes a bit like that, too, come to think of it.
I’m not from a country where Marmite is being sold. Before this video I had no idea what it tasted like, and I feel like I’m even further from the answer now
Be glad your taste buds never had to have contact with that salty goo. Never eat anything that ends in -mite. No Marmite, no vegemite. I am sure even termites are more edible.
@@mr.rabbit5642 it's a dark coloured tar like spread made from yeast extract. It's quite strong & salty and has iron, foliate etc in it too well at least the NZ one does
Well you see, it taste like the most delicious salty burnt dirt you would have ever had, and traditionally has the consistency of engine grease. Quite lovely really
i would've loved to see Rhod do this one. he wouldn't even try to win, he'd throw the worst stuff in possible just because he knew Alex would have to taste it.
I'm convinced Bob Mortimer must have magic powers. The man can do anything. His own dentistry? Piece of cake. Cut hairs for an entire camp of football fans in Spain? Easy peasy. Chase the Gulf Stream in a grotesque latex mask? That's just what you do on a holiday. Create a proper marmite substitute in 10 minutes? Pftt! Not even a challenge!
One of my favorite tasks. My three favorite moments are Alex's reaction to Sally's Absinthe Toast, Bob going "Oh fuck!" at Nish's marmite, and "he told me it tasted fuck all like marmite". This season was great.
I watch alot of a specific drag youtube show than I'm sure I don't need to specify, that has alot of sound effects so it didn't even register to me but now that I remember this was on like actual TV that's hilarious
@@AeroGold1 and she actually does the english accent of a Finn quite well. It does remind Swedish, but she says some words like a Finn speaking English would. I know cuz I am a Finn haha
Beef cubes, and *dark* soy sauce. Virtually indistinguishable from Marmite by appearance or taste, although without a very good blender the texture will be a bit grainy.
Oo, I might try this, since I have both dark soy sauce and a sort of creamy beef bouillon that doesn't have the same granularity. I also think that you could get rid of the grains by just heating the soy sauce up a bit so it'll melt the cube.
He does this to Nish at almost every task. And he always sounds like he means it! Like he never heard anything other than "hi" or "hello" as a greeting
The instantaneous "8 pounds" delivery is still one of my favorite lines from Alex. Especially considering he knew what the rest of the task involved. :D
Nish’s concoction looks horrible. I couldn’t even imagine eating it. The absinthe toast continues Sally’s barrage at Little Alex Horne. I genuinely love when someone goes at him like that. And Bob Mortimer continues to be a national treasure. Also, Marmite is gross.
Did anyone else outside the UK try Marmite for the first time because of this? I did. Tried it thinly spread on buttered toast. I didn't love it... but I didn't hate it, either. "Salt plus memories of meat" is a pretty good description, but throw in "slightly burnt toast" and that's pretty much it.
Bob's Marmite: Another example of why he deserved to win. Also provided the titledrop! Aisling's Marmite: I do think she honestly thought it tasted like marmite. Not trying to cheat or anything, even. Mark's Marmite: Never thought something that looked indistinguishable from coagulated ink would taste like marmite. Sally's Marmites: God, Sally is the stateliest psychopath. Abesinthe marmite does not sound terrible though. Kumarmite: No.
It's amazing to me that the man who's first thought of how to make marmite was to "leave a cow in a room till it withers, and scrape up the residue" is the closest to Marmite. When he was in competition with someone who used actual Marmite. (Though technically Nish started with 100% Marmite and then diluted it so he found a new one creative way to lose.)
When she says “I have a yeast infection” And you reply 0:52 But you decide to go down on her anyway and on your first deep dive you come up for a breathe and tell her 6:23
The British: "That doesn't really have the colour or consistency of marmite, but he mostly used the correct ingredients, I wouldn't mind having that on my toast!" The world: "WTF IS MARMITE AND HOW CAN WE MAKE IT STOP?!"
If you've had neither Marmite nor Vegemite, then your experience of this vast world and its... two sovereign states is sadly lacking, and it's high time to expand your horizons. (-- said the intoxicated yank who's spent a grand total of... _perhaps_ four months in the UK in his miserable life, and should undoubtedly be ignored flat out -- unless Lord Davies is reading this, in which case he should probably be flown into the UK in the interest of international bugger... that is to say, diplomacy).
Probably not world. Many countries familiar with Marmite and Vegemite. I am from Sri Lanka and Marmite is quite popular here. Also Vegemite is from Autraila which is also exactly same like marmite.
It's a popular British food, well-known to polarize opinions. People tend to either love it or hate it due to it's very distinctive and acquired taste, and that's because it's made from Yeast extract a by-product of brewing beer.

Just be very, very careful to not get the Australian equivalent... the dreaded VEGEMITE. . that stuff is... it's.... well.... Let's just say it's an acquired taste.
I somehow managed to live two years in London without ever hearing of the existence of marmite. And now that I’ve seen this and looked it up I hope I never do again. Great job to Nish, though.
"So your main selling point is it's all edible?"
I think that is the main selling point of real Marmite.
Kinda goes with Sally saying, "This is the best Marmite because it is NOT Marmite." 6:57
Marmite is EDIBLE?
wow, I learn new things every day.

.....tastes a bit like that, too, come to think of it.
@@marvinkitfox3386 I thought it being yeast-based was supposed to make it kind of healthy? Or at least have good nutritional value.
@@del_eris vaginal infections are also yeast-based. Not very nutritious.
@@del_eris Good nutrition, yes. If you ignore that it consists of about 10 percent PURE SALT

@@u.s.1974 With marmite less is more.
I hoped I'd find the explanation in the video, then in comment section, yet I'm still wondering if marmite isn't some type of manure mix LMAO
@@mr.rabbit5642 it's a dark coloured tar like spread made from yeast extract. It's quite strong & salty and has iron, foliate etc in it too well at least the NZ one does

Quite lovely really
The dedication Alex has for the show is admirable.
Well it's apparently his show so I'm not surprised!
But at the same time, he really didn’t have to take such big bites 😂
Always he's been a big eater
"Have you ever regretted doing this show?"
he's paid a lot of money
"put a cow in a room till it withers"
gotta get that residue
After about 40 days of the cow being in the room, you can scrape a bit off the hoof
I’ve seen this before, but I forgot about that line and almost choked on the biscuit I was eating when he said that
Or take a shit in a jar.
Sometimes I think this show and/or all of human history is just an interdimensional alien's random word generator.
The real question is how did Bob get the cow to wither in 10 minutes instead of 40 days?
He used a pre-withered cow.
just a couple of quick jaunts in a TARDIS
imagine Bob - or any of them - as The Doctor, but just playing it as themselves/their comedy personas.
@@petertaylor4980 is that the same as jerky?
Fuji 9, of course!
The other real question is how he made the best Marmite, while obviously trying to make Bovril.
it’s not the color that I’m worried about...
it’s the SOUND
Nish gagging on that concoction while Alex maintains his composure is great. Alex's skills are underrated.
@@del_eris Alex liked it lol
When I first saw Nish's concoction I thought he'd litterally had shat in the jar
Sally abandoning the concept of marmite and instead just having absinthe on toast is a mood if I've ever seen one...
If you have 2 pieces the 2nd will taste exactly like what you remember marmite tasting like
The more I watch of Sally the more I’m convinced she’s an absolute nutter!
Her decisions between playing the game or being a lovely lunatic gives her the well-deserved image of an eternal adolescent.
god I wish you kids would just talk like normal fucking people
@@Lainge Us kids are now the "normal fucking people", old man. Now go get back on your Zimmer frame and shuffle back to the hospice please.
i would've loved to see Rhod do this one. he wouldn't even try to win, he'd throw the worst stuff in possible just because he knew Alex would have to taste it.
From what I've seen of this show, it would have been just as likely for the second part of the challenge to be for them to eat it themselves.
Yeah one episode was make an exotic sandwich. The. The next task was eat it as fast as possible
@@jackjon7763 poor mel, that sandwich was bigger than she was
I'm fairly certain Sally's plan was to get Alex so pissed he couldn't remember what Marmite was supposed to taste like.
I'm convinced Bob Mortimer must have magic powers. The man can do anything. His own dentistry? Piece of cake. Cut hairs for an entire camp of football fans in Spain? Easy peasy. Chase the Gulf Stream in a grotesque latex mask? That's just what you do on a holiday. Create a proper marmite substitute in 10 minutes? Pftt! Not even a challenge!
Don't forget...rip an apple in two with his hands.
Not just cut hair for an entire camp of football fans.
Cut hair for an entire camp of football fans, paid exclusively in egg sandwiches.
Also haunt gardens in his spare time.
If you got FUJI 9, you're a dentist.
@@enixon8268 can't believe I forgot that! And peel an egg shell in one without breaking it!
Sally seemed like she had the most fun possible on this show that she coulda ever had
I mean Rhod might have given her a run for her money.
Drinking absinthe will do that to you
@@A-G-A-G thanks for replying to me, it got me to rewatch this amazing clip again.
@@michaeldiaz5469 And rewatch it a second time :)
One of my favorite tasks. My three favorite moments are Alex's reaction to Sally's Absinthe Toast, Bob going "Oh fuck!" at Nish's marmite, and "he told me it tasted fuck all like marmite". This season was great.
I DO NOT know how Alex is still alive.... It's like he's punishing himself 😂😂
Maybe he, um... maybe he likes it. 👉👈
@@del_eris This show is just an easy way of getting his masochistic side satisfied
Honestly it looked pretty fun
My favorite moment is still the absinthe toast.
We need the extended version of Alex on Absinthe!
We also need absinthe
"Fuck all like marmite" is such an iconic line.
- Bob's entrance: *the best*
- Nish says "How's it hangin'?" & Alex says "What do you mean?" : *also the best*
- Sally + absinthe: *ULTRA the best*
I completely empathize with Alex's inability to process casual greetings.
Love the clinging-glass-sound effect at 4:19
I hadn't noticed that before. 😆
It was perfect
I watch alot of a specific drag youtube show than I'm sure I don't need to specify, that has alot of sound effects so it didn't even register to me but now that I remember this was on like actual TV that's hilarious
8:10 Love that Nish's jar is labeled Kumarmite 😂
Sally Phillips is the most charming woman alive.
I find her incredibly attractive. She’s stunning
She's a charming lunatic. And probably my favorite contestant along with Mel.
You should see her in _Year of the Rabbit._
She's in a couple of episodes of that. With the magnificent Matt Berry.
She's hilarious in the tv show Veep as the Finnish Prime Minister
@@AeroGold1 and she actually does the english accent of a Finn quite well. It does remind Swedish, but she says some words like a Finn speaking English would. I know cuz I am a Finn haha
Beef cubes, and *dark* soy sauce.
Virtually indistinguishable from Marmite by appearance or taste, although without a very good blender the texture will be a bit grainy.
I mean it kinda makes sense
That's probably what Bob did
Oo, I might try this, since I have both dark soy sauce and a sort of creamy beef bouillon that doesn't have the same granularity. I also think that you could get rid of the grains by just heating the soy sauce up a bit so it'll melt the cube.
I love the idea that Alex has never heard the phrase "how's it hanging" all of his life lol
He does this to Nish at almost every task. And he always sounds like he means it! Like he never heard anything other than "hi" or "hello" as a greeting
@@madalinam6183 His joy when someone called him "dude" was fantastic. Can't remember who it was. Maybe that was Nish too?
@@del_eris I think it was Doc Brown in season 2.
@@madalinam6183 Yes it was Doc Brown at the trolley task during his bridge rant.
@@sparo_splat Awesome. Thanks, I'm gonna rewatch that ep right now cuz I need some joy.
The instantaneous "8 pounds" delivery is still one of my favorite lines from Alex. Especially considering he knew what the rest of the task involved. :D
As an American, I am always distracted by how Greg says "puma".
@@JonoRig it’s pooma for sure
I feel like he specifically plays it up and also says it constantly lolol
The funniest part is how I pretty much expected the results to be the opposite. Nish was literally using marmite, Bob thought it was "beef extract"
Sally went: ‘I can’t make marmite, but I can make Alex eat Absynthe’.
Bob's smile at 5:20 makes me so happy. He's so proud he did well
I have never had marmite but I want the Absinthemite.
You and me both
It looks like it could incinerate your nose hair. But what the hell! You only live once
how to make marmite: get marmite
then find a way to make the marmite worse by pumping it with vinegar
Get vegemite, add a drop of something else
Want a near death experience? Either watch this and nearly die laughing, or eat enough of these “marmite” concoctions...
or just eat marmite in general
Definitely had the first one of those
My ribs, my face and the rest of my body hurts of laughter and I couldn't stop for a full 5 minutes. I was freaking crying😂😂😂
Especially Sally’s one, but you have to eat it first, and then go for the rest
Task: Make Marmite
On paper: Horribly boring idea
In practice: Hilarious and entertaining
Dont you just squeeze the life out of random vegetables, add salt and yeast, then let the pulp rot.
What you said is quite like a stand up comedian's routine written out in text?
Nish’s concoction looks horrible. I couldn’t even imagine eating it.
The absinthe toast continues Sally’s barrage at Little Alex Horne. I genuinely love when someone goes at him like that.
And Bob Mortimer continues to be a national treasure.
Also, Marmite is gross.
The last sentence alone deserves an upvote
I really want to know what exactly was in Sally's two other jars.
nish's is horrible purely on the basis of containing marmite
Sally being a delightful lunatic as always
1:57 for all your hearing Greg Davies saying, "I will be on you like a puma" needs.
Thank you! I needed that :)
@@madalinam6183 I figured someone on here would appreciate it. 😉

Mix it with some whipped cream cheese to start. I love eating it and that’s how I’ve introduced others to it.
Bob mortimer is a living legend.
I love alex horne!!
Never heard of him before watching Taskmaster and now I just love him to bits.
@@iheartbusterk82 yeah same here! I dont know any of the contestants and then fall in love with all of them
Little Alex Horne. Never forget his littleness 😉.
@Adam Arens If I ever met him, I’d honestly have to refrain myself from loudly saying Little Alex Horne at him à la the Taskmaster.
Miranda Hester me too 😂
Sally is such a treat of a person!
Bob's Marmite: Another example of why he deserved to win. Also provided the titledrop!
Aisling's Marmite: I do think she honestly thought it tasted like marmite. Not trying to cheat or anything, even.
Mark's Marmite: Never thought something that looked indistinguishable from coagulated ink would taste like marmite.
Sally's Marmites: God, Sally is the stateliest psychopath. Abesinthe marmite does not sound terrible though.
Kumarmite: No.
Am I the only one who wants to try absinthe on toast now?
“Have you ever regretted?” is a mood
I love how Greg acts as if regular marmite doesnt look like sh*t
Sally is no doubt the #1 person on the list of people I'd like to stay home binge drinking with.
oh lord sally had me in literal tears
Aisling there just gaslighting Alex the entire time 🤣
Gotta low how the recipe that used actual Marmite looked the shittiest, and the winner was the man who thought marmite was withered cow.
"I will be on you like a puma"
Nish has such an infectious laugh. Gets me everytime.
One of the best tasks of the show
I freaking love Bob Mortimer. 😂
Alex is reaching Steve-o levels of dedication.
2:24 is such a powerful moment
Honestly thought Sally will get on my nerves but i love her unique brand of quirkiness.
The Man, the Myth, the Mortimer... Bob Mortimer!
Sally Marmite is definitely one of Bob's real childhood friends.
Based on my wikipedia knowledge of what marmite is, I would mix soy sauce and hummus
Nish is the only person to make marmite worse 😂
It's amazing to me that the man who's first thought of how to make marmite was to "leave a cow in a room till it withers, and scrape up the residue" is the closest to Marmite. When he was in competition with someone who used actual Marmite.

I just want a woman to look at me the way Aisling looks at Alex
Bob Marmite also sounds like the name of a character in a Bob Mortimer on Wilty anecdote.
When she says “I have a yeast infection”
And you reply 0:52
But you decide to go down on her anyway and on your first deep dive you come up for a breathe and tell her 6:23
I never thought id see absinthe on toast.
Thank you taskmaster.
The eyes, so angry.
i think about this one all the time.
i never thought a toast could get you drunk... im adding it to my breakfast
there needs to be a whole series with just sally phillips

Same. Very same.
I do too! I don’t get the people who think that she isn’t funny.
Miranda Hester I like her but she IS a bit much at times.
Alex really makes this show.
Literally. I believe it was his concept XD
Somehow this is one my top favorite tasks
Little Alex Horne's Little Moments
Bob Marmite, can I be your friend ?
Best season ever!
"What is yeast" GOT ME GOOD
Strangely, this actually made me hungry
i have no idea what is going on in this series, but am quite enjoying it. youtube's algorithm works 1/100 times
40 days and you get your first residue around the hoof.
8:48 Us Irish will get you back for Marmite!! 🤣😁
6:10 “Have you ever regretted this show?”
“NOT YET.”
I'm craving Marmite now... it's past midnight!
This is not disproving the widely held belief that Sally is UNHINGED.
_tastes Marmite_
*SHIT*
well you're on the right path Bob, lol
Absinthe: the crystal meth of booze
Oh god, I lost my breath laughing
I dont know what Marmite is but this was great
It's literally like a rotten cow
Sophius Dynami I though it’s was yeast but then again I’ve never personally had it
Its mostly yeast extract and dehydrated carrots. Very good on buttered toast
It's a popular British food, well-known to polarize opinions. People tend to either love it or hate it due to it's very distinctive and acquired taste, and that's because it's made from Yeast extract a by-product of brewing beer. Witch sounds promising because it has the word "beer" in it, until you look at what it actually looks like, some sort of PVA glue and it smells like the definition of awful. But, when spread on things like toast of sandwiches in small amounts it is quite bearable.
-Chris Broad 2015
It's like licorice. You either hate it, or you're a lunatic
I've never had Marmite in my life and I feel like an alien studying human
Just be very, very careful to not get the Australian equivalent... the dreaded VEGEMITE.
.
that stuff is... it's.... well....
Let's just say it's an acquired taste.
The best part is that the one who did not even know what is in marmite won.🤣
This task was originally proposed while Rhod & Noel were contestants &, unsurprisingly, Alex begged that it wait until they were no longer factors.
As an American, and having watched this entire video....I still have no fucking idea what marmite is nor consists of.
My goodness Sally is so lovely and cute. 🥰🥰
Guess who's got nil POUA... Crying. 🤣
I'd liked to have seen James actually go and make marmite.
Meaning that Bob was onto something about that beef 🤔
Imagine they had one American guest star this episode who read the task and just went "Marmite? What's marmite?"
That pretty much happened in series 12 when Desiree was momentarily confused about ‘snukker balls’
Marmite, the poor man's Vegemite.
Love it
I somehow managed to live two years in London without ever hearing of the existence of marmite. And now that I’ve seen this and looked it up I hope I never do again. Great job to Nish, though.
You know, he could've just looked at the ingredients on the marmite and then followed that to make his marmite
Isn't Marmite made from a yeast byproduct left over from brewing? That might have been difficult to replicate.
