Pimento cheese
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pimento cheese is a common food in the Southern United States. The recipe for most pimento cheese spreads has few ingredients: sharp cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, pimentos, salt and pepper.[1] It is typically served either as a spread for crackers or celery, or as a sandwich. A pimento cheese sandwich may be a quick and cheap lunch for children, or it may be served as a cocktail finger food (with crusts trimmed, a bit of watercress, and cut into triangles). Pimento cheese sandwiches are a signature item at The Masters Tournament.[2][3] It is also a common snack in the Philippines, where it is referred to as cheese-pimiento.
