Send me to the grocery store and I'm armed with a specific list, a fistful of coupons and a pit bull will to pay as little as possible. Send Neil, or most men, and they will return with whatever you asked for (most of the time!) and anything else that caught their eye. That's how Palmetto Cheese ended up in our house.
For those of you not from South Carolina, this is a SC product that we all love. It's pimento cheese but much more special than that. It's made with real cheese, real mayo, real pimento, by real people. It comes out of Pawley's Island and we're proud to eat it, serve it at parties and claim it as our own. But, Palmetto Cheese isn't cheap. Don't get me wrong; it's not outrageously expensive but it's pricey. So, I stop and look at it in the store, but then my coupon-psycho brain kicks in and talks me out of buying it.
Delightfully, Neil ended up at Publix. He saw, he bought, he brought home. While at first I looked at it and said to myself, "OMG, I can't believe he bought this!" I was secretly jumping for joy because I haven't had it in so long! He chose the Palmetto Cheese with bacon. Highly recommended. I've been snacking on it with pretzels. Neil has varied his morsels this afternoon. First, he started with a small spoon. At the time of this post, he's using one of our home-grown jalepenos as a "cracker" and just topping it with the cheese. I'm looking at him now...he looks like one happy little snacker.
If you haven't tried Palmetto Cheese, you should. If you're a man, head on over to the grocery. If you're a frugal woman, like me, send your husband.
