I remember piemento cheese! Who can forget?

Mom took me to the deli counter, told me I could pick whatever I
wanted for sanwiches and that was one of the things I picked.
needless to say, I didn't choose again.

I've never heard of using Velveeta for it, but Pimento Cheese is a much
loved filling down south. Usually cheddar, some minced onions
(optional), minced pimentos, some mayo mixed together.
Every year I go to The Master's at the Augusta National and I always get
the pimento cheese sandwich they are known for. Can't be beat for $1.50
or so...? Only improved with an equally inexpensive beer in the other hand.

I don't get it? The Velveeta webpage has nothing to do with pimento
cheese filling which is a classic in southern homes.

Honestly, I don't know if it was "Velveeta" or not. It was a brick of
yellow cheese with green olives imbedded in it. They cut slices the
regular way.

That's not pimento cheese spread either. Down South, pimento cheese is a
soft spread made up of grated cheddar, diced pimentos, some mayo and
sometimes a bit of minced onion. Some add a few other things too but not
much else. It is often served at teas or such on soft white bread.

When I read stuff like this it makes me wish for the culinary analog
to General Sherman.

Soft white bread... <runs screaming from the room>

Sorry, but we've always offered at least a good cracker for that sort of
thing, even at redneck parties.

I don't know anyone that eats white bread. Not even those with low
income. They know better.

I've seen that stuff in the Deli.

Never tried it. Is it good?

Interestingly enough, the farthest I've gone on exploring Velveeta
products has been to try the low fat.

Velveeta cheese is a childhood thing. We still eat it once in awhile.
It's awfully high in sodium, but so is cheese in general.

My first-grade experience must have brought on a fascination with the cheese
and pimento. When I was married in the 50's (not to DH), we used to go to
visit m-i-l on some weekends. As soon as we got there, out would come the
plates and bread and this cheese-pimento spread. Deceased Husband (how can
I write that as DH?) loved this cheese, and we wondered how she made this
great cheese spread. Duh!

One day I happened by accident into the food cellar and there she was with a
big chunk of long-horn - remember that? -- grinding it through a sausage
grinder with those little jars of pimentos opened up that she was putting it
through with the cheese. I never let on; I figured we had to have a sausage
grinder to make it.
