There won’t be a long write up here. There has been an ongoing discord on social media that no one reads the intro stories about how recipes were passed down through generations, and that people just want to know how to cook what you’re going on and on about. So I’m not going to write any short novel, I’ll just give my recipe for pimento cheese.
The only thing that I will say is that the influence for me to post this recipe now is due to a podcast recording I just did with my internet golf friend, Will Bardwell on his Lying Four podcast. As a part of his pre-Master podcast episode we talked about pimento to cheese and its ties to The Masters and Augusta National.
I always make myself a big bowl of pimento cheese on the Sunday of The Masters to enjoy with sandwiches on white bread or on crackers with a bit of prosciutto.
