Cottage Cheese....Like it or not?

So, call me crazy, but I have NEVER eaten cottage cheese alone. I've only ever had it if it has been cooked in something so I don't really know what it tastes like. I have been wanting to try it, perhaps with fruit because I have heard that is good together. Would like to get input on how people like it and how you eat it!!

    I love it with strawberries or kiwifruit. I'm sure any fruit will do!

    Salt and pepper for me. Just finished my half cup bedtime snack!

    I love love love it by itself, but I'm unsure of which brand to buy. I bought one a while back that was really nasty and tasted nothing like what cottage cheese should taste like.

    Which brands do you guys like best?

    Love cottage cheese. Add some black pepper, pineapple, or blueberries. Use it in place of Ricotta Cheese. A nice snack in the evening by itself. Love the stuff, anything goes.

    Avoid the Wal-Mart brand, it is too bitter for my taste. We have Publix down here and their store brand of 2% is excellent, unfortunately you do not have any Publix's up your way.

    I prefer it by itself, sometimes with pepper.

    If you don't like it, you can always cook it into something. When I have too much to eat, I make it into oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes. You'd never know it's in there!

    I love it!

    Like it plain or with fruit, Pears are my favorite. Also use it to cook with. You should give it a try, its delicious.

    I had it tonight as a side dish plain. I eat it that way a lot because having it with crackers would add to many carbs to my day.

    I buy "no name"
    It's cheap. I have bought other brands (maybe Dairyland or Beatrice) and can't say I've ever noticed any difference among any of them!

    Love it with lemon pepper and avocado or tomatoes and goes with pretty much any kind of fruit! I also put in pasta sauce

    If you blend 1/2 cup of cottage cheese until smooth with Splenda and cinnamon, then mix it up with a chopped apple - it is sooooo good :love:

    I haven't been able to eat it, smell it or even look at it since HS Honors Bio class. We made it in class. YUCK.

    I cannot eat it. Tastes gross to me and the texture freaks me out.
    My husband loves it! He eats it straight out of the container, no add-in.

    The only way I will eat it, is in a protein shake, then it's blended and doesn't taste like cottage cheese anymore :tongue:

    I like sliced peaches on top of my cottage cheese! I rarely eat dairy anymore, but I always grew up eating cottage cheese with black pepper as a side to every meal - usually some form of potatoes, meat, and cottage cheese with bread and butter for every meal with the family.

    I have to try this...never thought to BLEND it!

    I've always hated the texture of cottage cheese!

    LOVE IT and I miss it dearly on my Keto diet. I can basically have 3 tablespoons but don't trust myself enough to stop.

    It's funny, I like it but only once in a while... like twice a year. If I buy a 500 ml container I can only get through about a third of it.

    Sadly, my favourite way to enjoy cottage cheese is in lasagne. :blushing:

    I love cottage cheese, if it is cooked in dishes or by itself - yummy!

    I eat it a lot as a snack (sometimes with a bit of pepper and chili) together with raw veggies.as a kind of dip!

    I don't like the sweet version (eg with cinnamon) though... :-/

    Have a great day!
