And no cheating.

When I was a kid my mom used to make (not sure how she did it) Pimento cheese all the time. Apparently, it's a southern thing.

As a kid, I didn't like it. As an adult I do.

Yesterday, my friend asked me just what the hell are pimentos. We asked everyone we came across. We even called information (411) No one knew what a pimento is. Finally, the Aussie lady at the deli gave us the answer. It's a pepper (we suspected it was a pepper, although one lady told us it was a bean.) She told us that if she had pimento trees she'd be a very rich lady. (fyi, never call an Aussie British. They don't take kindly to that...no I didn't, but my friend did. It wasn't pretty)

More specifically, according to Wikipedia, a pimento is a pickled cherry pepper, more succulent than a red bell pepper. So there you have it. Next time you play a trivia game, you have the winning answer. Because, believe me, no one seems to know what a pimento is. Now you do. Mystery solved.
