Pimento Cheese Spread is a lot like potato salad. Every one believes
theirs is the best....so, it becomes a matter of personal taste. I
don't see the need to argue about so and so's nuances to the recipe.
You can take it or leave it. This is the recipe that our family
prefers.

If you like Miracle Whip...you are premitted to use it. If you
don't like Miracle Whip....you are permitted to use any mayo.

Sounds good to me. My first wife, who is from Kentucky, made something
her family called "snappy cheese" that was similar, but without the
sweetness of the pimentos. It's grated sharp cheddar, about a
tablespoon of grated onion, a fair bit of Frank's Red Hot or similar,
and just a tiny bit of mayo, enough to hold the thing together. Then it
sits in the fridge to mellow for a while before you eat it, preferably
on Fritos scoops.

We have used chopped jalapeno but I never thought about using Frank's
Red Hot sauce. I will try that.
