Grate the cheese yourself and it comes together into something spreadable; pre-shredded cheese is dusted with starch to stop it clumping, and it stays stubbornly grainy.

Method

6 steps · 15 minutes

Grate the cheddar on the coarse side. Fine grating turns it to paste once the mayonnaise goes in.
Drain the pimentos properly and chop them small.
Beat the cream cheese smooth first, then fold in the mayonnaise, pimentos and seasonings.
Fold the cheddar through last, and stop while it still looks shaggy.
Give it an hour in the fridge. Made and eaten straight away it tastes of mayonnaise; rested, it tastes of cheese.
Cut the celery into short lengths for scooping. It keeps a week and gets better for three days.
