Mmm. I love cottage cheese with melon or mango, strawberry, fresh apricot or peach. Also with diced fresh tomatoes/celery and a bit of pepper. And I don't mind it in lasagne, either. 🙂
But I am picky about the type of cottage cheese. My favourites are Canadian ones, specifically ones from British Columbia and I like 1, 2 or 4% ones. Both Dairyland brand and Island Farms dairy co-operative taste good to me (Island Farms is the best), but it seems hard to find an equivalent brand in the US. Maybe it's just because I am used to those brands' flavours but it's been hard to find anything here that appeals nearly as much.
I thought Shamrock and Daisy were OK, but neither thrill me. There was one from Sam's Club that was decent enough, but I don't think they carry it anymore. I got a Sam's Club membership partly because I tasted that cottage cheese as a side dish at a Tucson restaurant and was surprised that it was so tasty.
I'd love to try that Cowgirl Creamery one! We'll be on the west coast in a few weeks but not sure we'll have a chance to shop for it.
