Pimento Cheese
Pimento Cheese has been called "Southern Caviar". The simple blend of cheese, mayonnaise and pimentos make for the quintessential southern comfort food. Pimento cheese sandwiches are a signature item at the Masters Golf Tournament. Pimento Cheese does not traditionally have parmesan cheese but it makes for a nice flavor.
