Cottage Cheese: Not just for dieters

Following up on the recent post at VillageVoice.com In Defense of Cottage Cheese; Bon Appetit’s The Foodist is asked:

Q: Dear Foodist: What’s one food you’re embarrassed to like?

While I’m a booster for the cottaged cheeses (ok, I don’t think that’s actually a term, but it works), I was not aware that Northern Spy Food Co. had their own house cottage cheese, or that Cowgirl Creamery made it as well! I’ll have to try both soon: 

A: I used to hide my love of cottage cheese, only eating it at home. What was I afraid of, that people would think I was on the pineapple-and- cottage-cheese diet? (Chefs must feel the same way, as you never see it on restaurant menus—though New York’s Northern Spy Food Co. now makes it in-house.) But I’ve recently come to join the ranks of the curd lovers, proud and strong. I’ll eat pretty much any brand, but the artisanal, organic offerings from Cowgirl Creamery and Traders Point Creamery are favorites. Another confession: My ideal way to eat it is with potato chips. Don’t believe it’s the next great food pairing? Click here for a horseradish-and-cottage-cheese dip and prepare to be convinced. —Andrew Knowlton
