Title: Cottage cheese - why does this exist?
Post by: soera on July 17, 2016, 01:55:57 pm
A few years ago, there was an Ebola scare in the world. Yet US has been selling it for years. Why does this cheese aids even exist? What moron decided to open a carton of milk 2 years past the expiration date and decide to chow down? I will never understand.

I like cottage cheese haha  :P

It was much, much more popular maybe 50-60 years ago, while yogurt was not that popular. Now it's been switched; yogurt is really popular and cottage cheese is not.

You are  silly, silly man. I respect that. (Also, as long as it isn't too liquidy, it's quite delicious).

I hate cottage cheese too.  :(.   It always reminds me of trypophobia and maggots for some reason. The curds are so off putting. The consistency is like eating vomit.  I almost heave when I eat it because it reminds me of gross things.  Cream Cheese on the other hand is something I can get down with :D.  Cream Cheese is life.

Cottage cheese is friggin' awesome!  I eat it all the time.  Sometimes I mix in a bit of apricot preserves, sometimes a bit of apple butter.  Most of the time, just plain. 

But now that you mention it soera, I might put a little green food coloring in.   ;)

LOL.  I have to say, I was pretty excited this weekend to find new/sealed copies of Grabbed by the Ghoulies and Voodoo Vince.  Those were two of my most favorite original Xbox games.  My first wife (R.I.P) and I loved playing Voodoo Vince together.  So I have a particular fondness for that game.

It's true. Those of us who eat cottage cheese will soon become mindless zombie-like creatures who's only goal is to turn those who did not eat it into the creamy curds. In this post-apocalyptic world only Sorea will stand between us creatures of the cottage and the re-rise of humanity. With only a shotgun and his Harley, he'll roam the countryside hunting us... with only his sidekick MarvelVsCapcom2 to keep him company by asking if he prefers Brainy or Hefty Smurf.

How can you make a nice lasagna without cottage cheese? I suppose you can use ricotta but I don't think it's as good.

What???  You have to add stuff to the ricotta to add flavor.  My Italian mom would slap you for the cottage cheese blasphemy!

Hey, it's the way my mom always made it and it turns out pretty good. She does a layer of mozzarella on top that crisps up when you bake it. She's made it with ricotta before and it turns out good too. Maybe cottage cheese on lasagna is blasphemy but so is dipping pizza in ranch dressing or some of the other odd food trends in this day in age.

It exists so I can know to pity the poor souls who've never had it with some black pepper and cherry tomatoes mixed in. That stuff's amazing on a hot day.

Im sorry if that came off as condescending as that was not my intent. I was joking. I've had lots of lasagna with cottage cheese and it's pretty damn tasty. My great grandparents moved here from Sicily around the turn of the century and they have passed down the same recipe which always has ricotta. I guess nothing can compare to moms cooking!   :P

Another fantastic use for ricotta is Canolis. Add powdered sugar, mini chocolate chips, stuff it in the shell and garnish the ends with a maraschino cherry. Can you say YUM?!

We're talking about cottage cheese on a video game forum, I'm not taking anything seriously here  :)
Cannoli is delicious, plain and simple. It's actually one of my favorite desserts.

I am a very open minded and adventurous eater, but one of maybe a handful of foods I cannot stand is cottage cheese. Hate the taste, hate the texture, hate the smell; it grosses me out in every way and always has.

See?  It's all how you flavor the ricotta!  By itself, it doesn't have a very strong flavor.  That's why it's so good & versatile.  Unfortunately, it's pretty damn expensive!

Yep, it's sort of a lot of spices, nothing special by itself but can make or break a dish

you know you'll question the existence of Cottage Cheese, but you won't question the fact that at some point someone had to look at a cow and had to of said to themselves "I think I'll pull on those Dangling things and drink whatever comes out"

Im sure some redneck married his cow and was just getting to 2nd base when he realized what it was.
