Summary
My Dad love Pimento Cheese sandwiches. I was a small child and can remember him grating the cheese and making the mixture. He always asked if I would like a bite and I would always say no, Sir, thank you.
Now that I am an adult, I wish I had tasted my Dad's Pimento Cheese Spread. My Dad passed away when I was 17 and a senior in high school. I miss my Dad so very much.. he was a great cook and I am glad I paid attention to him when he did cook.
Below is my recipe for Pimento Cheese Spread.
