Yes, Saltines.

Saltines are the cracker you should always keep in the pantry.

Why Saltines?

They’reneutral in flavorwithout tasting like cardboard.

They are just salty enough to enhance the pimiento cheese.

And they have a crispy, but not too sturdy texture that’s just right for spreading or scooping.

You will need nothing more.

Maybe some celery sticks.

It’s best to stick with the classics.

Think ofthe tomato sandwich, that other beloved Southern food icon.

Just like Saltines and pimiento cheese.
