This shouldn't even be edible/on a menu/or sold in the grocery store/meat market

But yes, I have not only heard of pimento cheese, I have consumed it whenever and however possible. It's a Southern staple. It should be noted, however, that like so many things, there is pimento cheese and there is stuff that is called pimento cheese (or {shudder} pimento spread). If it's not homemade (or made in-house in a restaurant or store), it ain't worthy of the name.

I make a killer (baked) mac and cheese made with pimento cheese.

Oh, the glory of pimento cheese! Sometimes I make grilled cheese with it, though some purists tell me it's sacrilege to heat pimento cheese... I'll respect that opinion and keep making grilled cheese!

I've also made a pimento macaroni and cheese (baked is a prerequisite in all of my mac and cheese endeavors) that I adapted from the pimento cheese recipe I got from a friend. Absolute heaven!

As it should be.

And pay no attention to the so-called purists -- a grilled pimento cheese sandwich wonderful. Put bacon on it and you have a thing of true beauty.

I'll take your blessing and run with it. MC has spoken folks!
