re: Has cottage cheese always been this good?

It’s good mixed with some ranch seasoning as well.

Target has it in bulk packs

Just checked, no stores in the New Orleans area stock it any longer

Growing up, the only time we ate it was with fruit. My wife only ate it with salt/pepper, so I tried it that way, and it’s pretty great. I really like it with a heavy dash of Cavendar’s Greek Seasoning. I also scoop it on salads and use less ranch.

Daisy low fat is my go to- just 3 ingredients.

Put some Cavenders seasoning on it. Game changer.

Anderson Erickson brand cottage cheese is vastly better than anything you get around here. When in the Midwest for hunting I try to bring back a couple tubs.

Mine too. She did it on half because my father hated it.

It became popular in the 1970’s as a diet food and the cookbooks of the day were using it. Better Homes and Gardens etc…which is where a lot of those old dishes came from. (Pineapple salad with mayo and
Cheddar cheese)

And no one outside of maybe some Italian neighborhoods had even heard of ricotta much less used it.

And I also ate it with salt and pepper. Borden’s brand. Still do.

When i was a kid I dindt like tomatos or cottage cheese...... or so i thought. My best friends mom served us some fresh garden tomatos with some cottage cheese a little sea salt and some fresh cracked pepper, I tried it and it I was hooked. One of my favorite snacks now.
