Cottage cheese

[PennyPinkPineapple]

I tried cottage cheese for the first time today and I have no words, other than "BLAAAAHHHH"!

I was expecting something similar to ricotta, but it was like yogurt with crumbly chunks of ?, I don't even know what.

Have I just chosen a bad one (Sainsbury's)? Is it better heated up? What am I supposed to do with the rest of the pot?

YABU - Cottage cheese is delicious
YANBU - It is baby sick

Cottage cheese is disgusting, although it actually goes well in guacamole and stops it going brown

Only buy full fat. Season with a little salt and pepper. I love it. I usually just eat it straight from the tub.

YABU i love it, especially with tomatoes and cucumber added. Perfect as a snack or with a salad for a main meal

Longley farm, eaten out of the tub with Pringles! Yum!

Tesco used to sell a 600g tub of natural cottage cheese which was very nice. Good flavour and texture and good value. Now they have stopped selling it, at least online for C&C.

It was good on its own or mixed with tuna and ground black pepper or chopped chives or chopped celery and peppers.

Totally agree with this. I love the plain and had some of the Longley Farm CC with chives on a jacket spud last night. M&S do a lovely cottage cheese as it has cream in it. Fat free cottage cheese is disgusting though.

Longley Farm is good, but I don't buy the pineapple one any more due to added sugar. M&S pineapple one is even worse, and added creme fraiche as well, they must think it's a pudding. It's horrible.

If you can get it, Lidl cottage cheese is one of the few edible cheeses they sell (apart from branded ones).

I think the Riverford one I linked to is a curd cheese.

It has to be higher fat

Lower fat cottage cheese is quite bad

I love cottage cheese. Especially the one with chives.

But I’m with you on Bounty bars and anything with marzipan.

Another vote for Longley Farm! Sainsburys by me no longer sell it, but Heron and Pound land do.

Another vote for Longley Farm . I love it but wouldn't touch any other brand!

Aldi is nice.
I only like it with sugar and strawberries/blueberries though, I can't do savoury cottage cheese.

I have it with homemade cinnamon granola and blackberries. It’s a taste sensation.

Agree. Cottage cheese is already low fat. Low and reduced fat cottage cheese is just lumps in tinted water.

I agree it isn't fantastic but cottage cheese on jackets helped me survive my pregrnancy.

Goes well with hot chilli too.

It's not for everyone, I can understand not everyone liking the texture. DH hates it but likes cheese generally. It's something I've always liked though even as a kid. Also always used to have Longley Farm yogurt.

Cottage cheese is very nice as an ingredient in healthy bakes cheese cakes.

It has to be Longley Farm.
I've tried so many others and they're all watery in comparison. I get why some people dislike it though, DC4 can't stand the lumps.

Another one saying Longley Farm.
It's absolutely delicious 😋

Ooh, I'll have to check out Sainsburys for it then. The whole food store is more difficult to get to - and more expensive.

I used to live very close to Longley Farm and knew the woman who stirred the cottage cheese.

It makes me gag!

Piatnica (Polish cottage cheese sold by larger supermarkets or delis) or Longley farm, delicious. Supermarket own brand cottage cheese, on the whole yuk!
