I now live in the south and the older ladies in my Eastern Star chapter often bring pimento cheese sanwiches. Never knew those existed but I'm hooked on them!

I liked it okay, but wasn't crazy about it. Kroger had some on sale just recently from the deli department. They put out samples for shoppers to try, and I ended up buying some. I not sure what type of cheese they used - but it was more creamy light yellow and it was spiced up more than my uncle's. My uncle whose was from South Carolina used to make it everytime he visited.

My mother purchased the same pimento cheese in a small jar. You could keep the jar as a small juice glass when it was empty. Ah....the memories. I've never tried to make it and I didn't realize it was a southern tradition. I was raised in the north, too. :>) I'll have to check into the recipes and try it for New Year's Eve. Who knew?

(It takes the place of any dressing on the hamburger, as well as any cheese.) It is a handy snack on crackers or a nice sandwich. Making your own is a bit tricky -- what seems a yummy addition in the initial taste test isn't necessarily so great when it's all said and done (says the woman who thought using that last bit of habanero cheddar as part of the pimento cheese mixture would be a good idea). Part of the joy -- and sometimes the frustration -- of making things yourself is that it can take some time to make the balance right. Give it another go; I'll bet you'll find your perfect balance yet. :-) That's part of the joy and Pimento cheese truly is a Southern favorite…I’ve even known folks who will use it to dress their hamburgers!
