We had the great fortune to be invited to a cookout last weekend where we met two lovely documentary filmmakers who recently completed a short film titled Pimento Cheese, Please! which is kind of a love poem to this southern delicacy. Did I have the nerve to make a batch and take it? You bet I did. It was very well received (they took home the leftovers). I thought I’d share the recipe here. It’s pretty simple stuff, just 5 ingredients; 8 oz. of sharp cheddar cheese, 3 Tbsp. of Duke’s mayo, 2 0z. of drained pimentos, 2 good splashes of worchestershire sauce and hot pepper flakes to taste. Oh, and salt & pepper. It’s best served on a saltine cracker. Go ahead and make some, you know you want to. And while you’re at it, have a look at their short film, it’s awesome! http://vimeo.com/31515064Advertisement
