Never knew after 42 of baking, that there was any difference, could be that I have only ever purchase mixed spice for the Christmas cake. I happen to have a bottle of Pimento, but have never used it. What would I use it for

Allspice or pimenta is incorrectly called pimento.
Pimento is a large, red, heart-shaped sweet pepper.
Pimento is also a type of peppercorm.
Pimento is also another word for paprika ..
It all depends where you are when you are saying it ...
