Do you know how many cottages they have to kill to make one tub of cottage cheese? The numbers are astronomical. I refuse to consume any product that results in that much carnage.

Doesn't matter as long as it doesn't have fruit and has lots of pepper

 

[Thump]

No change.

No change.

This influence you at all?

Cottage cheese that is small curd vs large curd is determined based on how it is made. In order for milk to coagulate and start to form curds it needs help from an enzyme or an acid. If a cottage cheese is labeled “large-curd” it means that the cottage cheese was specifically made from an enzyme called rennet. Small curd means that the cottage cheese was made from another method without rennet.

What is rennet? It is an enzyme formed inside the stomach of baby mammals like calfs or lambs. This means extracting it from a dead animal

Actually, now that I reread it are probably more in love with large curd.

Rennet is used in most, prifessional cheese-making.

Nixon's last lunch in the White House was cottage cheese and fruit with a glass of milk. Small or large curd? Hmmm.

Seriously, how did the cottage cheese ruin the lasagna? It should have melted in just like ricotta.

I take it you don’t like peaches and cottage cheese

I make "ricotta", technically just pot cheese because it's not recooked, based on this recipe: https://food52.com/recipes/11403-creamy-homemade-ricotta

I double the recipe, then add an oz. or two more buttermilk and a splash of white vinegar to increase yield and I do a full Tbl. of salt. Not a particularly healthy version, but it tastes amazing.
