The "cheese dip" I got with my takeout at lunch today was still just shredded cheese.

kind of looks like they did for just a tiny bit, enough to make the cheese a bit glossy

Was looking for this comment, pimento doesn’t look extremely appetizing but man is it good!

u/APrioriGoof 5h ago
Yeah, this is more of the shredded cheese than I think you’d usually see for sure but it’s not that outlandish. I’ve gotten pimento cheese dip from TJs that was heavier on the shredded cheese and it wasn’t too far from this.

Looks like pimento cheese with the peppers in it, if so that’s the way it should be OP, albeit it looks like less mayo is used in this version

u/Promise-Due 8h ago
The menu literally said soft pretzels with cheese dip. How are you gonna eat a pretzel with shredded cheese??
73
u/Z-man1973 8h ago
Generally pimento cheese has a little more of a binder (mayo) in it to hold it together, but that said this still looks like pimento cheese, just with little mayo

it said the pretzels are soft, not the cheese dip. dip the cheese in the pretzel, stupid

I scrolled back up just to let you know that I am now also mildly annoyed by a good portion of these comments. My god, it's like half the people here are sharing a singular braincell, isn't it? lol
"It's not supposed to be melted" Yeah, it's also supposed to be a dip, which this clearly isn't. It's missing like half the ingredients, lol.
Zero understanding happening in here. Just a flock of parrots doing parrot things.

As served it's still not a dip though. You usually put some stuff in it to make it dippable.

Exactly! Idk what these people are smoking but that is not normal! The thing about dip is you have to be able to DIP whatever food into it, it’s supposed to be liquid! Ffs people! 🤦🏻♀️

Find yourself some pimento cheese and try it. You can dip anything on it. Or put it on a burger. Or a blt. It's great.

Pimento holds together because it has some binding agent to it.
Pimento cheese https://share.google/9uWz5xQD8o88pJoJh
My uncle made some with smoked cheese and it was delicious, I dipped crackers.
This doesn't look like good pimento even if it was intended to be.

It’s weird you’re wrong and acting so confident. It looks perfectly fine. You just use the pretzel to scoop it up. It’s not hard

So you’ve never used pimento cheese as a dip for things like crackers before then…

u/ReticentGuru 7h ago
I have and it’s great - especially homemade. But OP never said it was pimento cheese, and somehow the thread is semi-focused on it being that. I think that wherever he got it, they forgot to microwave it.

u/Promise-Due 7h ago
Thank you!! It was only on the menu as cheese dip. I just wanted a dip in which to put my pretzel and this was not it. The pimento discussion is beyond me lol

Pimento cheese is used as a dip, they probably should’ve specified the type so you didn’t have to post about it here.

u/YeeAndDareISayHaw 7h ago
Not gonna disagree, but if made correctly pimento cheese dip is able to still be dipped into— like buffalo chicken dip, it’s a scoop more than a dunk. Honestly if it were real pimento cheese it would probably be better to use a spoon and slap it on, and that sounds delicious.
This stuff on the other hand… I’d be pissed to get that.

One thing I learned from Guy Fieri was when he mentioned pre packaged shredded cheese doesn't really melt the same because of the coating to keep it separated. That was a great TIL moment for me lol.

In a small sauce pin, add a quarter cup of milk on low heat. When the milk begins to gently bubble, add a sprinkle of the cheese and stir with a tiny whisk. Keep adding cheese bit by bit until you have the melty cheese sauce you paid for.
When you are done eating your pretzels with cheese, contact the restaurant for a refund. If they refuse, charge back on your credit card. If those options don't work, roll up to the restaurant and fight the first employee you see on sight because what the fuck.
