Cottage cheese... Taste? Ideas?

Try several brands is my advice. I am not a fan but actually really like Rieter Dairy 1% small curd. My husband and I have tried lots of others and most were either too salty or just yucky. I actually go to one store just to buy this and local honey. Good luck! Buy small, different brands and keep an open mind.

You can make a good dessert with cottage cheese too if you want to one normal size container cottage cheese 1 pkt sugar free orange jello ( it normally calls for reg jello but sugar free should work) one or two cans of mandarin oranges depending on how fruity you want it and then sugar free whip topping one reg size container absolutely my favorite dessert with cottage cheese and you can change the fruit and flavor depending on what your in the mood for and you can substitute fresh fruit if you want!!!

I like the "lasagna" style curds which are much smaller than the regular. I drizzle honey on mine and eat as is.Oritts really good on mashed potatoes with pepper

Thanks so muh for all the replies... I'm going shopping today and will pick some up. I adore marmite so I may try it with that! And I will def try it with lots of black pepper on crackers maybe or jacket potato.

There's a lot of foods I couldn't stand as a child but now love, I really hope cottage cheese is one of them.

I am in the UK, where do you buy longley farm brand? I had a look on Tesco (where I'm going shopping and they don't seem to stock it)

I second the vote for Longley Farm. I can't stand cottage cheese as it's so thin and watery - but Longley Farm is amazing! It's in a really plain tall white pot and most of the main UK supermarkets stock it (certainly in the North, anyhow).

I eat it straight from the pot with a spoon or scoop it out with Multigrain Ryvita. Yum! I've even had it mixed up with strawberries when I fancy a creamy dessert. They do it in various flavours but I just love the plain stuff.

If you can get it I recommend the full fat stuff. I'd much rather log the calories and have slightly less than the watery low fat versions. And it's lower in fat than most cheese anyhow!

Cottage cheese, unless you can find a low sodium version, has so much salt in it I can't justify it. 0% greek yogurt has comparable protein, no added salt, and can be fruited, honeyed, or vegetabled up in the same way.

I like to dice up a couple slices of tomato, and a few black olives and mix it in with a half cup of cottage cheese. Yumm!

I like to add loads of black pepper and have it on a jacket potato. Sometimes I'll use it as a bechemel replacement when making lasagne/cannelloni.

Yes! Black Pepper! I used lemon pepper on some today.. yummy!

Never liked cottage cheese as a kid. Now? Well, take a whole banana, some honey, and mix them with half a cup of cottage cheese and you will be one very happy and satisfied camper. I eat it for breakfast often or dessert. Its amazing!

Stick to large curd (I prefer the texture way better- the same that thick cut oats are better than processed oats). I just sprinkle a little pepper on my cottage cheese for a quick snack.

The best dips I have ever made used cottage cheese as a base. All you have to do is take a container (8 or 16 oz depending on the strength desired) of cottage cheese and dump the whole thing into a blender and add a dry soup mix (e.g. onion), a ranch flavoring packet (the ones used to make your own ranch dressing), or whatever herbs and spices you want. Tons of recipes can be found on the Internet, but instead of using sour cream as the base, use cottage cheese instead. It is a good way to get raw veggies down and add more lean protein to your diet.
