All pimento cheese is not created equal. Best is homemade. Second is a local, limited distribution variety made with three types of cheese, not too chunky, not too much mayonnaise, maybe the hot variety. Here that was Musten & Crutchfield in Kernersville, still is if you buy it directly from them. Not so much the licensed variety found in grocery chains like Food Lion, something got lost in translation.
In northern Colorado, nobody’s ever heard of pimento cheese, so I just make my own. GA native.
