Personal Notes:
Always stir by hand to keep the texture chunky. Use the grated size of the cheese to determine how smooth or how chunky the finished pimento cheese will be. If you want the pimento cheese to be very smooth, blend it or use a food chopper.

Use only enough mayonnaise to make it hold together.

Add finely chopped hot/sweet pickles or jalapenos for variety.
