That’s how my mom ate it quite often in the summer.

Cottage cheese is a blank slate that you can build anything on.
If you can get raw milk you can make your own and top with heavy cream that was soured with lime juice.
Delicious.
Yummy with most any canned fruit, especially pineapple.
When eating it alone, my mother would always put salt and pepper on cottage cheese.
That's because Sam never had my mom serve her ½ Cup Cottage Cheese with Maple Syrup. Yum!
In some dishes it can substitute for sour cream, if sour cream gives you problems, or you don’t need the sour/acidity of sour cream.
It’s juicy and well balanced. Maybe a handful of almonds for the healthy fat content.
Summertime, a little lemonade, sweet tea, or an Arnold Palmer...
Also sometimes, sometimes, it can substitute for ricotta.
Id rather eat it right out of the container than on fruit, that just sounds nasty.
Preference: Breakstone, Daisy or another brand?
I absolutely hated cottage cheese up until I was in my late 50’s.
Love it now!😁
its pretty bland
I love cottage cheese. It’s comfort food. I like it with canned fruit, especially mandarin oranges or pineapple. I even like to dollop some on applesauce for a cool refreshing snack. I was surprised but glad to see this posted here.
Or just maybe our taste buds changed?
After my inlaws retired to Texas, they sent us some grapefruit from their tree. Hubs says “Go buy some full fat cottage cheese.” So I did and dang that is a great combo. Blueberries are my other favorite to pair it with. Fresh pineapple is nice too.
We never ate cottage cheese before that. Now we can’t live without it.
I’m still a child in some ways.
I don’t like mixing certain textures, nor my food touching.
I typically eat all of one thing at a time too.
I’m a little OCD.
Cottage cheese with salt and pepper on toast has been a comfort food for me since childhood. I still have it for dinner once in a while, though now I prefer to put cajun seasoning on it.
My wife likes to dip cottage cheese on Ruffles potato chips.
ALSO, bring back REAL watermelons that have seeds and aren't so darn DENSE and TASTELESS.
I wish it were more readily available in the no salt version.
I eat cottage cheese every day but come on, must they load it up with so much salt? It tastes so much better without it.
I don’t need to keep count, it’s that I don’t like sodium-bombing myself just on general principle.
I have a very simple diet so this issue an annoyance that shouldn’t be.
People: Do you like Cottage Cheese?
Me: Not only is it cheese, the word “cheese” is right there in the name. How is this even a question that gets asked by people???
Other people: Won’t all of that cheese cause digestive problems for you?
Me: Not so far. I wash it down with a lot of beer and/or wine. Does that help?
Me still: You see, my people have been consuming dairy products for thousands of years. Also, pork is delicious and nutritious. Do you really want to continue this conversation? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
