Time for a snack
Time for a snack
One of my favorite things in the whole world, my wife’s homemade pimento cheese! I love this stuff just about any way you can eat it. Tonight, some good crisp celery and slather on the pimento cheese.
She made a big bowl, y’all come on over.

Your choice of celery is much more healthy than my Frito's corn chips.
It's always important to know what you don't know.

Those are one of my favorites with puhminner cheese. Of course the best way is on bread with a big bowl of chili.Old Folder wrote:Your choice of celery is much more healthy than my Frito's corn chips.

Looks great Wade! I like pimento cheese on Ritz Crackers (had some earlier this afternoon). OH

Re: Time for a snack
I was raised on cheese whiz and celery. Hmmm, pimento sounds like a darn good idea!
Oh yeah, I should probably go eat dinner...

Zoogirl, silly question here, do y’all eat pimento cheese up there in Canada? I know in the south USA homemade pimento cheese is a big thing. Just curious.zoogirl wrote:I was raised on cheese whiz and celery. Hmmm, pimento sounds like a darn good idea!

Re: Time for a snack
If it comes in a jar, we probably do! It’s not something I really hear about though. There’s a brand called Tostitos that seems to have a good variety of dipping cheese. They may well have it. I’m about as South and West as you can get in Canada. Cheeze Whiz is old school comfort food around here. It’s made by a Canadian company, Kraft, so maybe you don’t have it. It’s jarred, spreadable orange stuff. Great on toast and a must along with tomato soup if you’re sick!

Re: Time for a snack
Pimento cheese is melted (some do grated) cheese mixed with mayo, your choice of sweetner, and pimentos. Some folks add jalapeños too. Quite a bit different from cheese whiz. You should whip up a batch, you’ll start a trend up there in the great white north!zoogirl wrote:5C52ACE6-7BBE-41C5-8D0B-CB061595D55F.jpeg01D17315-4039-4E7F-9A0C-AC071E233BAE.jpeg

Re: Time for a snack
I had no idea Kraft was a Canadian company. When did that happen?

Re: Time for a snack
My mother liked it and would buy a jar of pimento cheese spread. I still buy some every now and then and my wife can't understand it. Like to try some of that homemade stuff!
About as close as I can come to homemade pimento cheese spread is this stuff I picked up in the store the other day, never seen it before. It's pretty good but it sure ain't home made!
This is what it looks like, does it look right to y'all?

Re: Time for a snack
I stand corrected. The company, Kraft, is indeed American, however JL Kraft was born in Ontario. I suspect our old Kraft ads played that up. They certainly have a Canadian branch because there’s an Ontario address on the jar. The inference is that the stuff is made in Canada but it doesn’t actually say so. I’m pretty sure there is a Canadian factory though.

Re: Time for a snack
My grandma always had this stuff on hand, along with ham salad (which is like tuna salad but made with ham). My Pap used to always eat potato chips with Swiss cheese. Now, my girlfriend buys Pimento cheese for toast sandwiches or to use as a spread. It takes me back to those childhood days at my grandparent's house.

Re: Time for a snack
Looks about right. There are two camps here when it comes to pimento cheese. Shredded or melted. The melted camp (like grandma, momma, and my wife make) use velveeta.orvet wrote:My mother liked it and would buy a jar of pimento cheese spread.

Re: Time for a snack
Pimiento cheese - “the caviar of the South”!
My wife makes it with shredded cheddar, pimientos, mayonnaise (Duke’s or Hellman’s - never Miracle Whip salad dressing) some jalapeños (optional). Sometimes she mixes in some chopped celery to give it a crunchy texture. Or throw in a handful of chopped pecans (in place of the celery) for a change of pace. But usually she just buys a tub of Price’s http://pricescheese.com/ - it’s good and a lot easier.
Spread it on bread or toast for a great quick sandwich, or for a snack just use it as a dip with celery, crackers, or chips.

Note there is no cheese, and you have to get to the third from last listed ingredient to even find “cheese culture”. Not to say it’s not good, but cheese it ain’t! (Sometimes it’s best not to read the ingredients! )Ingredients: Whey, Milk, Canola Oil, Maltodextrin, Milk Protein Concentrate, Sodium Phosphate, Contains Less Than 2% Of Modified Food Starch, Salt, Lactic Acid, Whey Protein Concentrate, Mustard Flour, Worcestershire Sauce (Vinegar, Molasses, Corn Syrup, Water, Salt, Caramel Color, Garlic Powder, Sugar, Spices (Contains Celery), Tamarind, Natural Flavor), Sodium Alginate, Sorbic Acid As A Preservative, Color Added, Cheese Culture, Enzymes, Natural Flavor[3]

Re: Time for a snack
I’m, o thought cheese was basically milk, salt and a bit of rennet (cheese culture) to make it solidify. Probably the reason it doesn’t say ‘cheese’ is because they’ve broken the list down into the individual components of the cheese.
I’m sitting in an A&W right now. I bet if you looked at the nutrient list for their hamburger, it wouldn’t say ‘hamburger’, it would list the ingredients of the burger. You know, ground beef, onions, excessive salt, sawdust...
