Hello. I'm not from the UK as you can see but I was browsing around in the recipe section and found a great recipe posted January 2007 by peacock 2. Here it is to refresh your memory. I tried it for dinner (lunch) today and everyone enjoyed it including my 91 year old mother. Thanks for posting this.
I found I had to use 500ml water and I didn't have enough Marmite so I used some beef bouillon to make it up. I used half cheddar cheese and half feta. So yummy.
