AUGUSTA, Ga. – Few dishes are more polarizing than the pimento cheese sandwich. You either love it, or … well, you share the sentiment of a British golf journalist who tweeted Saturday: “BREAKING: It has been confirmed that pimento cheese sandwiches taste like feet.”
If you’re a hater, fine, but don’t write off pimento cheese entirely, because there are so many other ways to enjoy the mushy mix of whipped cheese and peppers. Here are 17 recipes -- 17! -- starring the official cheese of the Masters. At least one of them ought to appeal to you.
