Wednesday Wednesday: Eat more Cottage Cheese (2024)

I am a difficult fan of Cottage Cheese.I don't know when I first realized how wonderful it is.Very good quality.

Nowadays Cottage Cheese has largely been replaced by yogurt,As NPR discussed in 2015But I'm not sure if it's a good thing.

Cottage Cheese is a very old style of fresh cheeses - a family that also includes ricotta, mascarpone, cream cheese, feta, mozzarella, goats and other non -alert cheese that ruin it fairly quickly compared to their older cousins.Cheese gets their praise, cottage cheese gets short shouts (although not as short as farmer's cheese, potost and dry cottage cheese, which is even harder to find).

This propaganda poster poster of the First World War has connected Americans to "eat more cottage cheese" and "you need less meat" -compare the protein in a pound cottage -cheese favorable with a pound of beef, lamb, pork, veal and chicken.World War experienced dairy production, especially in 1918, when dairy producers throughout the country fought for better moisture milk prices when cheese and evaporated/condensed dandelions flooded and the prices of food and work prices rose.Farmers and honest prices.Cottage Cheese was advertised as a meat replacement to kill two birds with a stone - it ate part of the dairy surplus while they also let people eat less meat.

As the poster suggests, Cottage Cheese was also much cheaper than meat, and is still, although the gap is closed.4/pound, depending on the brand.Mit Local Movement Brack, which is pretty good, has 24 oz.(1.5 pounds) containers available for just over $ 3 and often $ 2.50 or less for sale.

Cottage Cheese was also advertised as a replacement during the Second World War, and the post -war foam hut cheese was promoted as a high protein food, which perhaps the reason is why so many of the last generations despise.

A number of cookbooks and recipe pamphlets that promote the use of cottage cheese were published during the First World War, including the above100 Money -ing cottage cheese recipesPublished in 1918 by Gridley Dairy Company and contains recipes such as "Liberty Loaf", "Cottage Cheese Relish", "Cheese Pandakes" and more than a dozen recipes for "Cottage Cheese Pie", Plus Ostekakes!

Many of the advertisem*nts for cottage cheese took care of De Zoete, such as this hilarious advertisem*nt from the 1950s with cottage -cheese with jam, with maple syrup and with fruit in a salad:

But most of my favorite recipes for cottage cheese treat it as the tasty cheese it is.Use farmer's cheese (leaked cottage cheese) in my favorite pastry disposition recipe that I use to make everything, from cookies and apple butter bars to grains and lenses Wellington.

To be honest, the most progressive honorary formers would have been better in asking Eastern European immigrants about the best ways to use cottage cheese because it contains fame in the Russian, Polish, Ukrainian and Georgian cuisines.

USDA did a little better with their accompanying pamphlet at Cottage Cheese Cookery:

Cottage Cheese Dere: Healthy, Economic, TastyWas published by USDA in 1918 and contains slightly more wiser, tasty use for cottage cheese, including in salad dressings, scrambled eggs with cottage cheese, potato croquettes and a wonderfully sounding cold weather, they call "cottage cheese roll", so that cottage cheese mixed with withCooked rice or breadcrumbs, spicy well and mixed with chopped vegetables, olives or pickles, remaining cold meat, canned salmon, etc. and formed in a roll that is then cut and served on a bed with striped salad.Protein notes, waste-free whey limade and cheap and probably low or no-sugar resin cookies for dessert.What is the thing about complying with rationing guidelines!

It also contains instructions to produce Wei lemonade!
