The South's caviar: sharp cheddar, pimento peppers, mayonnaise, and a kick of cayenne, served as a dip with crackers or spread thick in a sandwich.

Pimento cheese emerged as a Southern staple in the 1930s when canned pimentos became widely available; by the 1950s it was the universal Southern lunch counter and church-potluck spread. Husk Nashville under Sean Brock made the chef-driven version a fine-dining starter; Arnold's Country Kitchen still serves the meat-and-three version with crackers, a daily staple.
