You don't know how excited I am to see the presence of grocery store pimento cheese at the newly re-fabbed Superfresh on 5th and Pine St. in Philly! I've kept my eyes peeled for tubs of this glowing orange cheese spread for the past seven years since arriving in the area, and have yet to spy one*.Make no mistake about it, grocery store pimento cheese** is not a thing like real pimento cheese - saying grocery store pimento cheese tastes like real pimento cheese is like saying Nacho Doritos tastes like cheese nachos - but this junk food is a guilty pleasure of mine that can now be had at any time (crossing fingers that it stays stocked), and not just when I go home to South Carolina once or twice a year.
*I can't be everywhere all the time, so let me know if you've spied pimento cheese being sold somewhere.
**Some grocery stores down South do carry real pimento cheese made by small local businesses.

There is nothing that you should stick in your body that is "glowing."
Nostalgia has a heavy price.
Tom - Aw, come on now! Did you really have to poo on my happy dance? ;)
That stuff looks great! I must have it pronto - there is no cheese I have tried that I haven't loved!
Can't find pimento cheese?! Oh, that is a tragedy. I love the stuff too. I don't know how I would get through life without it.
This post with beautiful photos reminded me of your love pimento cheese!
