Marmite & Mustard

La Marmite, also in the kitchen

We know it as a spread, but Marmite also serves as a seasoning. A teaspoon is enough to add flavour to gravy, beef stew, or Bolognese sauce. Many English people also add it to their cheese on toast. The 125g jar is perfect for a taste, while the 250g jar is for those who can't live without it.

Colman's English Mustard

It has nothing to do with Dijon mustard. Colman's mustard is bright yellow, made from white and brown mustard seeds, and has a pungent aroma from the first bite. It's served with roast beef, ham, and sausages, and a touch is added to Welsh rarebit or macaroni and cheese.

There are two ways to buy it:

  • in a pot, ready to use;
  • In powder form, in its yellow box. It is dissolved in a little cold water, ten minutes before serving, so that it develops its full strength.

For other roast sauces, see Sauces . For cheddar, see Pickles and Chutney .

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

What is the Marmite ?

It's a savory spread made from yeast extract, with a strong and very distinctive flavor. The British spread it in a thin layer on buttered toast. Its slogan says it all: "You either love it or hate it."

What is brown sauce, like HP Sauce?

It's a thick, slightly spicy brown sauce made with tomatoes, malt vinegar, dates, and tamarind. Essential to the English breakfast and the famous bacon sandwich, HP Sauce has been the most well-known version for over a century.

What is the difference between a chutney and a pickle?

Chutney is a preparation of fruits or vegetables cooked with vinegar, sugar, and spices, like mango chutney, which accompanies curries.

Why do English crisps have such unique flavors?

Across the Channel, crisps come in flavors rarely found in France: salt & vinegar, prawn cocktail, cheese & onion… Walkers is the iconic brand. Note: in the UK, "chips" refers to French fries!

What are baked beans?

These are white beans cooked in a slightly sweet tomato sauce, a staple of British cuisine. They are served at breakfast, on toast ("beans on toast") or with a baked potato. Heinz Beanz is the benchmark.

What is malt vinegar?

It's a brown vinegar made from malted barley, with a mild, slightly malty taste. It's the one generously poured over fish and chips, and it's also used to make pickles. Sarson's is the most famous.

What is the difference between a DDM and a DLC?

The "use by" date applies to fresh products, such as meat or dairy: once this date has passed, they should no longer be consumed. The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
