What is marmite? And red leicester. Cheese would be my guess.
You're right on the cheese.

Originally posted by kyueI'm not a big fan of Marmite, but I do like vegemite. Vegemite is great on toast with butter and melted provolone cheese. A little vegemite in a meatloaf is also very tasty. Both would probably work just as well with marmite. Depends on your taste I guess.
