Somehow I missed the pimiento cheese phenomenon though. It’s a Southern classic, apparently. (Although I read somewhere recently that if a dish is fattening and delicious, the Southerners automatically claim it as their own, regardless of whether or not it originated in the South. I’m cool with that. I like having an innocent-sounding label for food that is fat and delicious.) This stuff is amazing. Cheese, mayonnaise, pimientos. Pretty simple, yet mind-blowing when you top a cracker with it. It’s really good with Wheat Thins or Ritz, or even carrots. I spread it on some biscuits and added tomato to make these fun little appetizers. Let the dip come to room temperature before you serve it. Way to go, South. This one’s a winner.
