    I just can't with cottage cheese. I want to like it but I just can't get past the lumpiness.

    +1 (Also can't get past the ...milkiness. Shudder. I have been known to leave rooms when my husband eats his cottage cheese.)

    Yes! When I actually decided I was gonna get some I was like "What? Choices? No way! Should I get chive & onion or garden vegetable?" I went with chive & onion. But they also had a pineapple one and maybe another fruit one plus two or 3 other flavors.

    Wait - are we talking about cottage cheese or cream cheese? I've used those flavors in Philadelphia cream cheese. If it is indeed cottage cheese, however, I'm so jealous!! We don't have anything like that here!

    I used to eat it as a kid but it seems so salty to me now.

    I'm not sure what's in your area, but Friendship brand makes a no salt added - and you can tell it, lol

    Lol! I still haven't reconciled with any kind yogurt but cottage cheese and avocados and I are best buddies now. As a kid, no way! I actually like it plain or with Triscuit crackers.

    cottage cheese with beef pepper stew is amazing

    Pressed cottage cheese that comes in a block is great for people who dislike the slimy lumpiness of the normal type. It's harder to find but has a great crumbly texture and is more versatile for cooking :)

    Dear @Chi_Warrior,

    Have you met my cousin, Ricotta? She's a bit of lovely stuff so check her out. You two might get along.

    Your friend,
    Cottage Cheese

    PS: No hard feelings! I totally understand. Sometimes I can be too salty.

    My fav way is cottage cheese (plain) topped with chopped avocado, tomatoes and salted sunflower seed. Seriously, DELICIOUS!!!

    some of the recipes i have actually call for blending it-so it's smooth

    add jam

    When I ate it as a kid, we had grape jelly mixed in. I find that a little weird now, but like it plain, so all good :)

    It is absolutely cottage cheese! I think I got Hood brand.

    I just got some Hood pineapple AND CHERRY! cottage cheese. I didn't know that existed. In my mind, I've already eaten the whole tub.

    If you can find the brand Kalona (http://www.kalonasupernatural.com/our-products/cottage-cheese/organic-cottage-cheese/), and it can be a bit hard to find, you will become an ADDICT. I swear. I have never been able to handle cottage cheese, and even the Organic Valley, 4%, cream top, grass fed cottage cheese is a little waxy. I don't know what they do at Kalona, but I find myself hurrying to get home just so I can have some. I eat it straight.

    I made a similar apology. I was convinced that I hated the stuff, probably from tasting it in childhood. When I changed my lifestyle, I knew it would be a good and convenient item to have in my diet. I picked up the Breakstone Doubles with fruit, and loved it! Now I eat it all the time. My favorite is with pineapple, sometimes with a handful of chocolate chips as dessert.

    I love plain low fat cottage cheese. I could eat it every day. I like it just like it is--with nothing in it. Sure, I've eaten fruit in it when I was younger, but, now, I don't even want that in it. It's so good and creamy.

    Cottage cheese is so versatile! I can have with cut up fruit or with hot sauce/salsa. I have it this week with tropical fruit that was canned in fruit juice, I put the juice in my herbal tea as a treat!

    My mom LOVED cottage cheese and cherry tomatoes when I was a kid, and I tried it once and gagged. I've been leery of trying it ever since. But I was also the same with cream cheese (which I LOVE) and avocado (which I'm obsessed with), so I imagine cottage cheese is something I should run with!

    cottage cheese, a little basil pesto, feta cheese, Italian herbs = OMG good
    cottage cheese, finely diced onion, fresh tomato, cracked pepper = really good too

    I may have to! I'll have to get a plain flavor first - the one I picked up is like a chive & onion flavor. :D

    They make flavored cottage cheese?! WHAT!

    My favorite cottage cheese mix is tomatoes, half an avocado with salt & pepper

    Cottage cheese with chopped up sundried tomatoes yum.
    Love it on a jacket potato with baked beans

    Looove cottage cheese! With pears or peaches, or Jello! It's lovely with lime jello.

    I love cottage cheese, never noticed flavored ones before. I'll be keeping an eye out.
    One thing I like to do is have some on the side with spaghetti or ghoulash and mix it in, very delicious!
  • Posts: 301 Member
    Tried it with salsa and some Tostitos scoops last night. Delicious, this will be a new snack on my list.

    I have a hard time with its texture still. I've been adding things to it though. I want to love it haha

    I like it the Hungarian way, with fruit and wrapped up in a crepe.

    On toast with salt and pepper is the dreamy, extra good if you butter the toast. But I don't do that any more.
