I like cottage cheese, as well, although I usually just eat it plain or with a sprinkle of paprika on top. Have several (often pasta-based) casserole recipes that call for it, too.

Buttermilk: Didn’t even realize there was such a thing as whole buttermilk until I started watching shows centered around southern cooking. Have seen only low-fat buttermilk in small-town grocery stores up here in Minnesota. Will have to look for it at a Byerly’s or Lund’s next time I’m in Minneapolis. They may carry it.
 
I always loved cottage cheese, as a child I could easily have eaten a whole container of it in one sitting. Nowadays not so much since I shy away from most dairy due to various reactions with it. I tend to like pickles and chopped liver as well, two other things people either love or hate.
 
I like cottage cheese with chive. Hood products here have a variety of "flavors" of cc. Also remember at a restaurant that I worked at we would make a dip for crackers with port wine cheese blended with cottage cheese. Together these made a very tasty dip.

I love cottage cheese - I often add it to salads and there are a few pasta dishes that it is an ingredient for. I've got a couple of recipes for cottage cheese pies that are pretty good stand-ins for a cheesecake, in my opinion, anyway.
Fortunately, Hubby is not fussy and pretty much eats whatever I serve!

I remember seeing flavoured cottage cheese here years ago; pineapple was one version for sure, and chive rings a bell. I've not seen anything like that for a good 20 years at least.

Once upon a time, I'd eat a cup of cottage cheese for breakfast as part of a protein load when I did serious weightlifting. Even now, I can eat cottage cheese right out of the tub when I need to eat in a hurry!
 
Little Miss Muffett liked it. Until that nasty spider showed

I have a great no-bake Cheesecake recipe that I use a carton of Cottage Cheese. One of my most requested deserts, besides the carrot cake.

We take spells with cottage cheese. Mom prefers the small curd, with lots of pepper. Our dearly departed Elizabeth Taylor preferred cottage cheese mixed with sour cream.

Am I not mistaking, Dear Laundress, but do the Brits call it Clotted Cream, now that sounds icky.
 
Actually, clotted cream is pretty good.  I've only had it once, and that was on British Airways, so who knows if it was anything close to the real deal.  It didn't taste like either sour cream or cottage cheese.  It was sweet and more dessert-like, but it could have been doctored up somehow.
 
Clotted Cream

Isn't same as cottage cheese.

It's a very rich and thick cream produced by heating high fat cow's milk then letting it cool. Result is what is normal for heated milk; cream rises to the top but in doing so bits of it clot, hence "clotted" cream.

Really is quite good on scones and other pastries, some fruits and so forth. However a diet rich in clotted cream isn't very healthy.
 
Like it and buy it as a "treat" maybe 2-3x a year. Usually with chives.

A local restaurant used to serve a bread basket when they brought the water and took the drink orders. It has a few rolls but mostly bread sticks, Rye-Crisps and the like, and came with a dish of cottage cheese dip that had mixed veggies in it and a few seasonings like garlic. Think veggie cream cheese but with cottage cheese instead of cream cheese. It was delish!

When I grew up it seemed like there was always cottage cheese and fruit on the table for breakfast and dinner. Mostly canned peaches unless she had fresh fruit from neighbors trees. Mom bought Knudsen large curd in the blue container. I am sure because dad liked it. I would sometimes talk her in to getting small curd in yellow container. Somewhat dry which I liked. She would also get pineapple or chives with cottage cheese. I can remember plum juice dripping thru cheese cloth in to a porcelain white pot for plum jelly. Who knows what else ended up in that pot.

my Mom also preferred large curd cottage cheese, and I liked the small curd better when I was a kid too. Back in the 80’s I used to bring cottage cheese with salsa on it for my lunch at work. With all this talk of cottage cheese I’m going to have to buy some, I’m starting to get a craving for it.

It’s too bad though that you can’t buy the full 4% fat cottage cheese around here anymore, it tastes much better than the 2%, and the non fat, forget about it!

Does anyone remember that Tricky Dick Nixon’s favorite daily lunch was cottage cheese with ketchup on it?

I love it as long as its 2% fat with Strawberries and bananas. Otherwise it tastes like shit in anything else I have ever had it in.
I am a Yogurt guy I love that stuff..
With a bad Gall bladder I have to watch everything I eat, so its convenient when I need something with protein.
 
Eddie, lol

This thread is having the same effect on me!
As I said in my earlier comment, I don't dislike cc, but I never buy it myself.
Now, I'm starting to think I just might need to pick some up the next time I'm at the store!
The power of suggestion, I guess!

I like it in a jello salad that was moms recipe. If I have to go on a soft food diet, for medical or dental reasons I'll make up a batch and eat it through the week as desert or late night snack. Think it's straight out of the 1960's, it's pretty good actually, and I'm not too fond of cc.

Mandarin Orange Salad
Blend 1 package orange jello into 1 carton of small-curd cottage cheese. Stir in 1 can of drained, crushed pineapple and 1 can of drained mandarin oranges, and 1 small carton Cool Whip. Blend well. Refrigerate.

We love cottage cheese here. We usually have it as a side with dinner or with tuna as a light snack. They sell CC with pineapple in it that is super yummy. It is weird though how some love it and others hate it. Never an in between.
