Sharp cheddar grated and combined with mayonnaise, pimento peppers, hot sauce, garlic and Worcestershire to a thick spread. Served on crackers, in sandwiches, or as a Derby Day appetiser.
Pimento cheese is the Southern condiment-spread tradition, with documented recipes from the early 20th century. The Kentucky version emphasises sharper cheddar, more black pepper and a dash of bourbon-aged hot sauce. Pimento cheese sandwiches have been served at the Masters golf tournament since 1933, and at the Kentucky Derby for over a century. Louisville restaurants like Garage Bar, Jack Fry's and J. Graham's Cafe at the Brown Hotel plate the canonical pimento-cheese-and-cracker board.
