This week's list: Freaky Foods, for Freaky Friday
********
My list will not be long. There is no food in the world I will not happily sample, or have sampled, except one:
COTTAGE CHEESE
I can't look at it, I hate the thought of it, and I have never ever even tasted it.
That is all.
You can say what you will, you will not convince me. And considering that I will eat anything else - octopus, brains, runny cheese, chocolate-covered oddities, escargot -whatever else you put in front of me - I think it's ok to not want to eat one thing, even one as (seemingly) innocuous as cottage cheese.

wow. I never would have thought *that* of you, dear Babelb. But hey, to each her own.
"...octopus, brains, runny cheese, chocolate-covered oddities, escargot..."
I won't eat any of those things, but I don't mind cottage cheese in the least.
And my list? Too long to consider.
rice pudding has never touched my lips.
that is all.
I love cottage cheese, but it has to be small curd and it has to have salt and pepper on it.
but rice pudding...
we are all allowed our food oddities, I guess...
as one with enough food oddities to stay far away from this list (and btw, how the heck do you know the topic?), I have to agree with Badger that small curd, skim and (maybe, if its an option) low-moisture is the way to go. With frozen berries that are mostly thawed. I don't understand the desire for savory cottage cheese. I <3 sweets!
I can eat it, but I don't love it. The texture, so lumpy.
Cottage cheese reminds me of food turning into glue, and of every "diet plate" I consumed in the 70's and 80's - and here I am, still fat.
But Blackbird's aversion to rice pudding must be pathological. I LURVE it.
Loretta, I also adore rice pudding but am the only one in my family who does. So in the winter, I make an entire batch and eat it for breakfast, cold, for a week, or however long it lasts. But homemade is so much different than the nasty packaged or supermarket stuff...I can't touch that rice pudding.
One thing I like in all puddings and custards is to spread them thinly on a plate to cool, maximizing the skin : pudding ratio.
Yum.

Most people eschew skin.
On puddings and cocoa and such.
It doesn't bother me.
