Why is this called pimento cheese when there are no pimentos in it? I grew up on pimento cheese and love it, so I'm always willing to try new versions. But this just has an awful taste to it..

This is my new favorite! I had always passed over pimento cheese sandwiches in the south and I never thought I would like them. Now that I'm changing my diet, I gave it a try. I used vegan rice cheese and vegan cream cheese and plain greek yogurt and used light mayo instead of cooking spray or margarine to fry them up and YUM!!! I mad some sweet potato chips as well and I'm making this a lot more often! Thanks Bobby!!!!

Tasty as a grilled cheese sammie but sadly disappointing as pimento cheese.
