    I love it, but recently my store was out of the one I like (Knudsen aka Breakstone lowfat small curd) so I ended up with Daisy brand. It was awful - watery with uniform pellets that reminded me of beanbag stuffing. I threw it out. So there are gross ones out there.

    I hate it too!! Mostly because of the texture. BLECHHHHH. Probably the only dairy product I don't like! lol

    always thought i hated it, but had only tried the fat-free kind.

    When i tried the 4%, i found it to be pretty yummy.... It's still a very good nutrition to calorie ratio.

    I figured once i got used to it I'd step down gradually, I only got as low as 2%

    Gag. Yes, I can relate...and as a mom of three who continuously preaches to try new things...I feel it my job to model.

    I have the borden brand.
    Prolly wont eat it in front of the boys...you know...cuz they can spot a faker a mile away.

    Like it now - with some Hidden Valley Ranch dressing dry mix added to improve taste.

    But it is indeed right next to the gag-reflex for me too. Now matter how great something tastes, if that goes off, forget it.

    I have always loved it. My 2 year old loves it.

    My husband despises it and my 5 year old won't touch it with a 10 foot pole lol

    It's all about preference

    I hated it as a kid but now enjoy it but only if it's sweetened. A bit of an odd thing I like is to blend it up with frozen berries and a little sf sweetener. It's almost the consistency of frozen yoghurt and you'd never guess it's cottage cheese.

    I honestly can't eat it at all, and I hated it as a child as well. It's the texture, honestly...so gross.

    I never liked it until I forced myself to have it when I needed more calcium intake when I was pregnant. Now I love it, my fave though is with peaches on top of it.

    I believe that it is. I love cottage cheese & yogurt, but I have heard many people say they cannot stomach either. *Kanye Shrug*

    Cottage Cheese with pineapple is one of my favourites.

    The Co-op one is yummy - tried Tesco version yesterday and it was a bit watery in comparison.

    It is definitely a texture thing. It took me awhile to get used to it.
