When I was a girl, on Saturday mornings, my father would always get up early and take me either to the park, horseback riding or fishing. No matter the journey, Pimento Cheese sandwiches were always the staple for our picnic lunches. He would sometimes scrimp and substitute "store" bought brands, but they just don't taste the same. Even if you think you "hate" Pimento Cheese, make a batch and try it. There's nothing like the real thing!
Granny Mae Wisdom--Anything can be improved with the right kind of cheese! Except blue cheese. That cheese is rotten!
You can add 1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper and/or jalapeño juice to spice it up. Remember, a little goes a long way. Also, if you want a "creamier" and "smoother" cheese, don't use preshredded, store bought Cheddar Cheese. Shred your own, by hand. Those that come preshredded have stabilizers in them that keep them from mixing and melting in recipes as well as "regular" cheese. I made this batch with the preshredded so that you can see what it'll look like.
