That is not something you hear very often from Americans that you was looking forward to trying marmite products lol but i knew you liked it from previous videos. I don't remember when i first tried it but like it on toast with melted cheese, also love twiglets it's hard to stop once the packet is open. Not tried these but sound good! will try to find them, i looked on Tesco's website they have the marmite crisps, cashews, rice cakes, Graze marmite crunch sharing bag and marmite & cheddar cheese bites but no biscuits or flat breads. I'm not sure if it's still available but they used to sell chilli marmite and sometime limited edition jars like at Halloween the trick or treat jars. The adverts are funny there have been a few over the years.
I like flavoured cider much more than regular cider the berry one sound nice! Aw glad Finn got to try some and liked it too :)
Hi Keza! We were properly introduced thanks to the kind comments we received - we were told NOT to spread it on thick the first time, but go with a light layer, and from there it was a hit for us :) Love a good cheese toastie with a bit of marmite, and we're working on finishing a bag of twiglets as I type (Finn loves them! He's staring..he's staring...he's using telepathy asking for just one more...just one more)
We're really taken back on the variety of marmite products available, enjoyed each one we were lucky to try.
Do you have a fave cider? We're enjoying a cosmic crisp right now with dinner. Hope you having a fantastic Friday :)
@@FinnLovesFood Well so far i have liked orange cider, lemon, toffee apple, strawberry and just recently i tried a cherry bakewell cider from my local b&m. Haha, ah bless Finn liking and wanting more twiglets ☺ Hope you all have a great weekend.
@@keza92 wow, those are interesting flavors! We had a strawberry pear cider that was really good - wish we could find it again. Hope you're having a great weekend too.
Love, love, Marmite. I've never come across the biscuits before or the flatbread. I've tried the rice cakes..yummy. The last advert was my favourite. I have never seen the first 2 adverts before. ❤
The last advert was clever- so funny!
You really have to have been brought up with Marmite from birth to appreciate it! I love the stuff and apply it really thickly! Marmite forever! 🤣🤣🤣
We like it, but still have to apply it thinly! 🙂
I'm a Marmite lover. I particularly love Marmite crisps. Never tried the flatbread but they look a good base to add things to like cheese. Some of the Marmite adverts are really funny. There is one where genes are being tested and I think it is as funny as the rescue one. So funny that Finn loves Marmite :)
We also enjoyed the crisps. Another viewer mentioned that advert - we'll have to track it down.
If and when you come to England (and the UK) you really should visit Somerset & Devon in the South West as well as Somerset is well known for Cheddar cheese it is also known for producing lots of cider, i think you would enjoy taste testing some of it. Devon too produces cider as does parts of Norfolk and Suffolk in the East and parts of the Midlands, i enjoy a good cider especially in summer.
I enjoy Marmite on toast but like you said not putting too much on is the key, it's very nice in cheese ham and tomato sandwiches. I have tried the bigger rice cakes but not any of the ones you tried in this video.
The Cheddar Gorge is on our wish list and tasting cider would be a bonus!
As a Brit, I grew up with the stuff and I love it. My son born over here loves it as well.
When were living in the US, my Dad used to take part in Revolutionary War reenactment as a member of the 23rd Regiment of foot for the British Army. His friend and Major and his wife came up to visit us for a weekend.
Saturday morning and I'm sitting there eating toast and Marmite. The Major was intrigued so I told him to have at it and passed him the jar. My Dad told him to hold back but he put it on like jam. Needless to say the fae he made was priceless. As an 12 yo it was too funny.
Onto more serious things.
Get yourselves some propper cheddar as you usually do. Toast some bread to medium. On the top side of the toast, apply Marmite and then sliced cheddar (slice of tomato optional). Place under the broiler to melt the cheese. Est viola, cheese on toast the proper way,
Hi 66Meikou! You passed on the Marmite gene :D
Ahh that's what happens when you don't start off light, that's how we started :)
Cheese toasties with marmite, sounds excellent. Love a good cheese toastie, a cheese and onion sandwich and beans over toast. I see plenty of cheese this weekend :) Happy Friday!
Marmite is an ingredient, bit like a spice.
Add it to your beef dishes.
Beef stew
Chilli con carne
Spag Boll
Win win
It's also safe for dogs but be mindfull, it's high in salt.
I wonder what the little chap would make of it.
Seeing how he likes Twiglets bet Finn would like it. Good point about the salt though.
Not seen those flatbreads, I'm curious, will have to keep an eye out for them.
Hi SnKKS, thanks for watching! If you find the flatbreads, please let us know what you think of them. They're tastey as-is, and with a topping. Happy Friday!
We have XO Marmite and Chilli Marmite, but my favourite is Truffle Marmite
I'm very curious about the Truffle Marmite.
I love marmite rice cakes, but I've never actually tried marmite!
You should give it a try! 🙂
LOL It turns out Marmite popcorn is a thing.
Have you tried it?
@@FinnLovesFood No, we don't have it in Australia but it does exist (off the shelf) in the UK. There are also lots of recipes for making it yourself on the internet.
I love Marmite, and whilst I can get a Jar of Marmite here in Australia those very interesting Marmite products aren't available here (AFAIK). I also love Vegemite but I have a slight preference to Marmite which is very un-Australian of me.
You might want to do a comparison test between Marmite and Vegemite some day. It would be guaranteed to start flame wars ha ha.
A very interesting video today BTW, and I am very glad to find that all three of you are Marmite lovers ha ha.
We've thought of comparing as we do find Vegemite in World Market. We've heard it's even saltier than Marmite? The first time we had ever heard of Vegemite was from the Men at Work song.
@@FinnLovesFood It's been around here in Australia since 1923, and is much loved here, much more so than Marmite.
I don't find either products particularly salty but I am very savioury type of guy, I hardly ever eat sweet things.
A comparison video would be a lot of fun, it could be extended by adding Promite, another similar product. I don't think I have ever tried Promite but on my next shop I will pick some up and try it.
Cream cheese and dips really go well with marmite products.
We need to try them with our chive and onion cream cheese.
They used make Marmite mini-cheddars, which were great for lunch boxes, but I haven't seen them for ages.
Hi The Yorkshire Pudding! Mmm marmite mini cheddars, those do sound perfect for lunch boxes (and work desks, and in the car glovebox, and under the bed, ahh the positibilities :D) Happy Friday!
@@FinnLovesFood Thank You, you too (well Saturday). Sadly, I think they must have been discontinued, possibly with so many office based people WFH and doing fancier lunches with more fresh stuff. They were lovely, though! On leave next week so just been out and spent far too much at M&S!
@@the_yorkshire_pudding that's too bad about the mini cheddars. Hope you picked up some delicious things at M&S!
A Marmite lover here! Loved the advertisements too. Must say we have great advertising companies over here in UK.
When I was a kid we had Bovril instead of Marmite. I believe you can still buy Bovril in similar little jars to Marmite. Bovril is made of beef and can be drunk ...a teaspoon in boiled water, spread on bread/toast etc or used in cooking of stews etc. My Mum decided at the time of the Foot and Mouth epidemic here in cloven- hooved animals (around the turn of the century?) she would switch from beef products, and to Marmite!!
Not really keen on Twiglets, but I could go for the other choices there. The cider sounds really good too.
Lovely Finn, bless him. Glad he is a lover! ❤
Hi Agranda, Happy Friday to you! A fellow marmite lover :D Gotta say, we really enjoy Brit adverts, just fantastic. Bovril, interesting, what we have access to here is Bovirite at our Cost Plus (and of course Amazon):
www.amazon.com/Bovrite-Beef-Spread-4oz/dp/B00915BHWU Maybe we'll give it a try some time
The ciders were not bad at all, in fact we're having a couple now at the end of the day, nice way to start the weekend , Finn is here smiling :) Hope you have a great weekend
@@FinnLovesFood yes, that Bovrite looks very similar.
Glad you enjoyed your cider to welcome the weekend! Have a lovely time!
@@agranda6379 thanks!
The flatbreads are very good buttered with ham and tomatoes.
Hi GastrickBunsen, Happy Friday! Good idea, thank you! We stocked-up on ham sandwich meat and will give that a try, thank you! Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for watching :)
Love marmite, love cheese and love cider and so it seems does Finn ( marmite) what a nice way to spend a Friday afternoon, have a great weekend
This made a great snack - so fun to sample. Enjoy the weekend Michael!
i love marmite i have it on toast every day great vid 🥰
Thanks! We don't have it every day, but occasionally we like to mix it up with some Marmite.
Every morning i have hot buttered toast with a fried egg in between, its yummy.
HI there! Sounds like an excellent routine, we wouldn't complain having that each morning here :) Thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
Cheers from France ! Love your videos, you might try some snacks and drinks from France (Of course you have to love cheese)
Hi Yanis! That would be fun. We've only had one subscription box featuring snacks from France. We do LOVE cheese! 🧀
Use as a stock addition to stews etc!!!!
HI Steve, Happy Friday! Sounds good, thank you! We haven't tried that yet but we'll give that a try, thank you for the tip! Have a great weekend :)
I ❤ it & My favourite ways to use Marmite is to get 2 slices of bread with butter on then marmite with a slice of ham and a slice of cheddar cheese. Another way to use Marmite is to put some a teaspoon of 2 in your gravy before pouring over roasted meats, it really helps to bring out the flavours of the meat. 😋 Scrumdiddlyumptious!!!
The ham and cheddar sandwich does sound good. Might be a nice change from the mustard I typically use.
Hi both
Personally, I hate marmite yet like Twiglets... 🤷 Go figure...
Hi JonnoD! Happy Friday to you! Wow, hate marmite but like twiglets? Is it a matter of what you have marmite on or just, absolutely cannot stand the taste of marmite itself? We're working on polishing-off a bag of marmite tonight with a couple ciders :) Thanks for watching!
@@FinnLovesFood Hi Guys. It's definitely the taste and texture.. Tried it as a kid and was ill straight up so ever since I've avoided actual marmite. I hesitantly tried Twiglets as a teen and yeah they go ok.. I only tend to have them in a tub at Christmas these days though. It's strange, the thought of eating marmite gives me flashback shivers yet Twiglets I'm fine... I wonder how I'd go with the other snacks.. I've certainly seen the rice cakes and flatbread in UK supermarket eg Tesco... I may taste test for you... Also I'm exactly the same with Vegemite 🤢
.
Twiglets are not a marmite product. So maybe the off brand's like them make their own version that's a bit milder.
@@JonnoD00 sometimes having a negative early experience can really ruin something for you. You'll have to let us know what you think if you try. I think the flatbreads have a lighter Marmite flavor than the rice cakes.
I've not read all the comments on all your videos. Just wanted to say I don't believe in bad food. I believe everything is there for a reason and matching the flavour with the texture is important with any food. Unfortunately you see too many videos where the marmite is spread about an inch thick and I know instantly that it'll be disgusting. If you do marmite right then it's lovely. I use it as much as an ingredient as I do as a spread. In chilli con carne and Bolognese and stuff like that.
Plus people have so many different tastes. What's delicious for one person may not appeal to another.
I like cheese and marmite sandwich, AND ALso marmite on toast IS good as long there is NOT to much . ARE dog's also liked marmite ,I'm going to look out for those as thay sound so good. I don't like it till I was older ,BUT my mum and brother liked it .😄😄😄😄👍👍🐶
Hi Shane, Happy Friday! Cheese and marmite, fantastic pairing, and you're right - too much is just too high on the salty side. We took advice from comments when we first tried it, and started with a light layer. Finn loves it, and he can't get enough twiglets, he has good taste :) Funny how our tastes change with time :) Hope you have a great weekend!
I bought my mum marmite popcorn and she didn't like it
Oh so they did make it. Was it too strong? Seems like it would go well with popcorn.
@@FinnLovesFood strange combination I think, then again I bought some bbq and some cream and chive flavours and they weren't good as they made them sweet and the flavours didn't work
@@Nick_Jarrett even the sour cream and chive tasted sweet? Definitely like that as a crisp flavor.
@@FinnLovesFood somers gourmet popcorn brand for the bbq and sour cream and chive, for some reason they think the 2 flavours work with sweet and not savoury popcorn. Joe&Sephs for the marmite popcorn although there's plenty of recipes online, our packet got left for so long after my mum tried a couple that it started going mouldy inside a month later.
Not a Marmite fan myself but you both seem to be converts , have a good week
Hi John, Thanks for watching! I think we were both properly introduced by starting with a light layer on toast and not over-doing it, pouring it on heavy like jam. We've seen reactions were folks just used WAY too much the first time, recipe for disaster.
How do you feel about twiglets?
Have a great weekend and Happy Friday!
@@FinnLovesFood i'm not a fan of those either Tina but i will eat a few every now and again and i have a packet of Marmite crisps occasionally , if you can get hold of Bovril or Oxo cubes put them in a mug and fill with boiling water and pepper to make a lovely warming winter drink , see you soon
@@johnhankinson1929 we can't get Bovril here (because of the beef), but there is something called Bovrite that is supposed to be an American equivalent.
The best Marmite advert is "gene test" which you didn't watch
We'll be sure to look for that one.
The dog's face being blurred, i forgot about that, that tickled me.
Im surprised how many commentors love marmite, i don't.
(Gave finn a like)
Hi Siobhan, Happy Friday! Those commercials are great, really enjoyed them. Gotta say, loved the creativity with the marmite ads. We've seen some comments were individuals said they're not big on marmite but like twiglets, how are you with twiglets? Hope you have a great weekend :)
@@SiobhanHfuhruhurr-qe1ul Thank you :)
@@FinnLovesFood I'm not fond of twiglets but I'd eat them if I was starving lol. I'm not a lover of salty flavours in general.
Hi Tina and Ross I’ve always loved marmite but I’m the only one in my family strange people lol a jar does last a while though they used to do a cheese with marmite in it the size of baby bel same shape came in a little net a bit to strong even for me hope you both have a great weekend and give fin a hug from me x
Marmite cheese is still available!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😆 fear not said she! But it’s now rectangular and not a round shape - Sainsy sell them in a “bag of 6” and still very yummy!
To strong for me 👍
@@weedle30Waitrose had the larger “slabs “ of marmite cheddar
@@johnleonard9090 oooooh…… sending ‘imindoors out to our local Waitrose next week, so he can treat me to one of their Valentine’s Day spesh meals deals 🤭😎 and I will ask him to look out for it - thank you 😉😀
We'd be curious to try that cheese with Marmite. Was it a Cheddar or more like the Baby Bel cheese? Hope you have a good weekend too!
The dogs love butter on toast with marmite
Think of it this way, it's a waste product from the brewing process, a load of dead yeast and such. By selling it they're producing a healthy product full of vitamins that would otherwise cost them money to dispose of which would impact the cost of beers to produce to factor in disposal costs
Fun fact the word marmite I believe is French and is the word for that shape of jar, the product got the name from the iconic jar
What a great re-use of a waste product. Haven't tried giving Finn buttered toast with Marmite (I always finish it), but I bet he would love it.
Of course he would like marmite. He's Welsh, haha.
@@neilgayleard3842 😄
Never tried it, but heard some Marmite added to Stews or Casseroles is supposed to be good.
We've heard that too about stews. Any reason you haven't tried it?
It works best with beef stew. Add it in right at the end. He careful it can over power the dish.
To see if you might like it make some gravy in a cup. Then add some to it. Then pour some over pieces of bread. My mum used to give us that when had a cold.
Ah, lovely Finn xxx Keep looking into the middle distance looking thoughtful Ross!!
Well, Ross is quite thoughtful! 😃
The Marmite flatbreads are good broken up and used as 'croutons' in tomato soup
Hi Catherine, Happy Friday! Oh nice, thank you for the tip, might be good tossed in some soups too! Thank you for watching and have a great weekend!
When my lad was a toddler, he always wanted some of my buttered toast at breakfast. I got fed up of him nicking my brekkie every morning. So i started having marmite on toast, thinking he'd hate it. Unfortunately for me, he didn't 😂
You had a little Marmite lover! Good plan, too bad it backfired. 😄
Regarding the biscuits I would butter them and add a thin layer of marmite from the jar to add a little kick! That's just me, though.
With the flatbreads you can add cucumber, tomatoes, sliced gherkins ( pickles) and olives. Maybe some branston or similar? Food for thought. Good video by the way. 👍
Thanks! We recently had some flavored crackers with cream cheese, cucumber and tomatoes so sure that would be great on the flatbreads. Also love pickles and olvies.
Brilliant channel, Marmite is king, try marmite with sliced tomatoes on a sandwich the marmite seasons the toms v nice
Thank you. That does sound good.
Ciders looked good - loved quaffing a pint of cider down on a hot summer day. not a Marmite hater but like slice of toast with a thin smear of Marmite & a good spread of Bovril (beef extract) they go well together. Definitely Bovril in gravy though also cottage pie etc.
Finn is like my Clyde - loves all food apart from some vegetables lol.
We can't get Bovril here since it's made with beef, but we have seen a product called Bovrite that is supposed to be an American equivalent.
Finn loves broccoli and cauliflower, but won't touch carrots. 🙂
Clyde is fussy about peas lol, I can wrap 6 peas in raw mince(he is raw fed) making meatballs & when he's finished there will be 5 clean peas left in his dish. He doesn't get tricked twice lol.
you will be correct about the Bovrite - too close of a name, great on toast & in gravy.@@FinnLovesFood
@@jeffmarriott that sounds like Finn when we try to give him pills! Though pills hidden in Havarti seems to do the trick - he can't resist gulping it down.
😀@@FinnLovesFood
Ross has the right idea! Wooooh 👏🏻 spread a good splurge of Philly Cream cheese on a slice of ham and fold the ham in half and squish it down - now carefully place the ham slice on the flat bread and eat! Just be careful that the cream cheese (if you have spread a large enough quantity on - not something ‘I’ would do of course 🥺🤷🏽♀️) doesn’t try to escape out of the ham and splodge down your clean shirt!
I have also tried it with thinly sliced tomatoes inside the ham slice - but it’s even more of a “clean shirt” risk! 😳😂
And it always happens when you're wearing a white shirt!
Marmite can't believe you like it😢.Yes to the cider but nope to ugh. Never saw the baby American ads before they were quite good.
We do like it in moderation and enjoy their ads too. Really enjoyed these two ciders.
Love marmite, don't know when I first had it. Probably as a baby. I haven't tried the rice cakes, not a fan of them. I have had American cider a long time ago. I have never seen it in Britain. We get a lot of Irish cider/ to sweet for me, a few European ones as well. Marmite popcorn, Jamie Oliver did it once but I don't think marmite ever made it. Nigella Lawson made a marmite pasta as well.
Hi Neil! You mentioned the Irish cider being on the sweet side, was there a pariticular side you prefer? Do you prefer a more dry cider? Marmite pasta, now that sounds interesting, or if it's not available maybe a marmite pasta sauce? New product idea?? :D Happy Friday and thank you for watching :)
Marmite sauce, maybe you should try it first before you start selling it. In Britain we have sweet, dry, and medium. I will try anything, but prefer the medium. I have even had Apple pie flavoured cider. The small local producers are always best. Some the big mass produced stuff is a bit weak. It's like drinking apple tango, it's for lightweights.
@@neilgayleard3842 these leaned on the sweet side. We've seen some labeled as dry like Golden State Cider, but not medium. Apple pie flavor sounds interesting.
I don't know if the medium is just a British thing. It gives you the best of both. Also in Britain we have cooking apples so that can make a difference in the taste. As far as I know they only grow here. The Apple pie flavoured cider is from a company called turners. It's in marden kent. They are only a small local producer. I don't know if they export their cider. Check out the website. They sell some good interesting stuff as well as good ordinary cider. Also there another local Kent company to look out Biddenden cider. Their stuff is like wine. Magenta otter travels was in the area in a recent vlog.
I am a complete and total animal lover - every category; mammals, insects, amphibians; reptiles - even big hairy spiders! And I absolutely DESPISE with all the hatred I can muster, any form of animal cruelty,torture or bad management - so was I offended by the Marmite advert?? Of ….. course…….not.,.. because ‘I’ have s sense of humour! And I saw the concept of the advert as it was intended….. and it was top notch amusing! The animal “protectors and rescuers” do a job that I could not ever do - I would be on attempted murder or GBH charges for a start, 😡😡but those people who remove or care for abused animals are so brave and so deserve respect, that no “sensible” human would ever consider mocking the job.
Those that were ‘offended’ 😩🙄 get a grip and please tell me, on whose behalf were YOU offended, hmmm? …. That would be the Question of the Day - and no doubt never answered 🤔
We agree. We thought it was clever and hate to see abused animals. Unfortunately, as Pembroke Welsh Corgis have become more popular here, you hear of breeding animals seized in horrible conditions. We have a wonderful rescue in the southern part of the state called Queen's Best Stumpy Dog Rescue. They do such great work taking in abused/unwanted Corgis and either rehabilitating them to be adopted out or letting them live out their years at the rescue.
