Personally, I like cottage cheese just fine, usually straight, and NOT the no-fat version. Large curd preferred. It was a easy to prepare, inexpensive food from my poor college days.

You could try making your own. It looks pretty simple. I have made Greek yogurt fron a gallon of milk and cottage cheese looks like fewer steps since it is not stiffened by thermophilic bacteria but by vinegar.
I haven’t tried it with tuna, but am trying to avoid mayo due to the soybean oil, so I’ll try it this way.
I realized just recently I can make egg salad with it and it’s barely noticeable since it’s mixed with the egg whites.
My favorite way to have it is with berries, nuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seed oil and Stevia. Plus or minus some protein powder.
Sam’s was OUT of cottage cheese last time I went; I hope that’s not the latest shortage.
chive cream cheese, yom
Funny. For years, I took a small container of cottage cheese and pineapple as part of my lunch. Really liked it that way.
Then at some point I began mixing fruit cocktail into it.
I have had it with salt and pepper too. It is an odd food. But I still kind of like it.
My mother used to eat cottage cheese with scrambled eggs (a German thing?). We were forbidden from touching it which made it even more appealing to us. Now I love it with rice, by itself, or with scrambled eggs. Thanks Mom.
Cottage cheese with mandarin oranges is a common snack for me.
I’ll try maple syrup soon.
Speaking of killer foods,
Breakfast is coffee (decaf in case anyone suspects otherwise) and chocolate, of the 100% variety.
Food of the gods! Is it off-topic to wonder if chocolate is the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil? I mean maybe it’s not a joke, because who hasn’t heard of death by chocolate?
Things that make me go hmmm (or Mmmm, as it were):
“And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
“And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked...
That Godiva Lady goes way back. Adam had no excuse though. What was he thinking?
ot aint cottage cheese

I like the idea about adding smoked salmon and onions.
Hold the ketchup, please.
Cooked egg noodles, drain, put back in warm pot with some butter, add carmelized onions and cottage cheese added to pot and stirred in until warm, some ground pepper. So good
That's a combo I've liked for decades, with pepper and a little salt. Don't know about it being German.
My favorite cottage cheese based food is pancakes. A special occasion breakfast. The mix also includes sour cream, eggs, a little flour. Good stuff.
Make mine full-fat, large curd ...
Cottage Cheese has been used at times as a substitute for ricotta in lasagna. That is a crime.
Diet and fat free cottage cheese is repulsive.
True, real, creamy cottage cheese is great with just about anything but especially with Pears or Tony Cachere’s seasoning.
There are some brands just not worth buying. Borden’s is good stuff though.
Can’t see how anyone doesn’t like good and real cottage cheese.
The VFW has breakfast once a month. They put the over easy eggs on top of the hotcakes. I eat the eggs before I add syrup. Eggs with syrup is nasty.
Love cottage cheese… it’s good with Doritos, pineapple, peas, turkey, …..
It’s like grits, you can eat it with nearly anything.
