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.

    i was gonna say, those are not the right eggs to advertise. like, you put them on toast or something and i’m sure they’d be great, but that plate looks like the mistake plate. that photo does not make me want to eat there.

    edit: and that’s before we even get to the boner pills. life of crisis you are not kidding
