This cheese is a staple in the Carolinas. Mayo, cheddar and pimento peppers. We were out to a restaurant one day and they had this option as a one off rare special. It was one of the most magical things ever.

They never had it again. But I knew exactly where they sourced their mix. There is a gas station two miles from any civilization that sells chili dogs. They also sell this perfect blend of pimento cheese. Current price $11.xx for a pint. Almost twice the price of anyone else.

Anyway, I made some oven fries and broiled the cheese on top. Still magic…

Could I make the pimento cheese for less? Yes. But it’s like a once a year thing. And when I do it it is the meal.

Cost per person: $8 Can you order it anywhere? Maybe, if you are in the Carolinas on the right day in a restaurant with a racist name run by a guy having a life of crisis who accidentally includes boner pills in the background of their advertising. No. You can’t order this.

When society collapses I will miss this.

      Warm pimento cheese is a game changer! Just be careful not to overheat it or the oils will seperate. Try it on burgers too - put a dollop on right after they come off the grill and let it melt slightly. The contrast between the sharp cheese and juicy burger is insane.
