Your pimento cheese looks tasty. I especially like it in tea sandwiches with a nice cup of strong black tea.

That freed a hand to drive the tractor while having a tasty snack And soda. Oh… and we use to pour our packet of salted peanuts into the coke bottle.

Heaven! Paul: I don't know where you guys moved form but I can imagine what a shock southern cuisine must have been. It is not food for skinny people. My great grandfather always used to give me a coke in a little glass bottle and <a href="http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=6140&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=38&iSubCat=179&iProductID=6140&searchid=inceptor" rel="nofollow">one of these coconut candies</a> when I visited him. Oh, and a rolaids jar full of coins. An RC Cola and a Moon Pie. Heaven!

When I was a kid, and my grand-parents still grew Bacca (tobacco) there was always at 10am sharp snack break. We would always have a RC Cola and Moon Pie at granny's. My grandfather on the other side of the family had Dr. Pepper and Nabs. I loved going into my grandfather's supply shed. He could have opened a corner store with all the Nabs and Sodas he kept in stock to feed the workers.

You'd think such an exclusive rich man's event would have better food. That Masters connection is the last sentence tacked on to the PC wikipedia article.

Frankly, like our dogs, we tried to keep the boy as skinny as possible. Last Spring, I and 49,999 other people were fortunate enough to spend a day at "the Masters", the big golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia, North America. I was surprised to find that other than beer and pimento cheese on Bimbo Bread (called "marshmallow bread" in my family), there wasn't much selection at the numerous food vendor stations. Fortunately, both sandwiches and beer sold for just $2.00. I enjoyed all three sandwiches, although I liked the first one best.

I must agree with Jane. A real southern would just Know what a Nab was and not have to figure it out. :) My wife won't, will not, no way buy white bread for us. As a result, my pimento cheese sandwiches are now eaten on wheat bread it just ain't the same. I use to put pimento cheese on a ham sandwich. The Varsity down in Atlanta puts it on hamburgers and hot dogs. Jalapeños are in addition to… not a replacement.
