Pimento Cheese
Pimento cheese needs a new public relations team
I only prepare pimento cheese to satisfy my own cheese-addiction issues. I love this stuff so much that I dream about it.
Pimento cheese was the dreaded family-reunion potluck dish for years. That’s because Aunt Wilma brought the store-bought stuff, and we all believed that’s what fancy folks did to try to kill us. Then I happened upon REAL pimento cheese. And my life changed. Yours will, too, and you will forever be indebted to me on this one.
