Brits Discover American PIMENTO CHEESE [Dukes is so much better than ours]

BRITS TRY PIMENTO CHEESE FOR THE FIRST TIME! | 3 WAYS with DUKE'S MAYO | Sandwich, Crackers & Grilled!

In today’s episode of Mr H and Friends, we’re diving deep into a beloved Southern American classic — Pimento Cheese! This creamy, tangy, and irresistibly cheesy spread has been a staple in Southern kitchens for over a century, and we Brits are trying it for the very first time — with a twist!

We make our homemade Pimento Cheese spread using the iconic Duke’s Mayonnaise (because if you're doing it Southern-style, it has to be Duke’s!). Then we try it three delicious ways:

With crispy crackers – the perfect Southern snack!

In a soft sandwich – classic, creamy and comforting.

Grilled in a cast iron skillet – golden, gooey, and loaded with flavour!

What is Pimento Cheese?
Pimento Cheese is often called the “caviar of the South.” It's a rich spread traditionally made with shredded cheddar cheese, diced pimentos (sweet red cherry peppers), mayonnaise, and a mix of seasonings. It’s incredibly versatile — served cold as a dip, slathered in sandwiches, or even melted into a grilled cheese!

While its origins are debated, Pimento Cheese became popular in the early 20th century across the American South, evolving from a simple combination of cheese and imported Spanish pimientos into a regional treasure. Every Southern family has their own twist, but Duke’s Mayo is often at the heart of the best recipes.
