Pineapple. Surprised at all the people who think fruit in cottage cheese is somehow odd. I mean, I’ve had it savory, too, but growing up, it was plain or pineapple. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but cottage cheese goes great with sweets. Honey and lemon is quite nice, too. ---

My real answer in “whatever I have,” but since pineapple is my favorite, I checked that. Peaches are my second, because I’m allergic to the fuzz, so they have to get peeled and sliced. I put the on cottage cheese (or yogurt). Strawberries are my favorite on yogurt, but I’ll eat the on cottage cheese if I don’t have yogurt; goes for oranges/cementines too. Canned fruit MUST be drained, rinsed. Unless it’s in juice, and it must be served over something. I also like cottage cheese on a salad. I use either Ranch or bleu cheese, and balsamic vinegar, and mix them all together. Makes a great dressing. ---

Peaches. Specifically, canned peaches in syrup. But I also enjoy pears, or pineapple, or tomato with fresh cracked pepper and salt. ---

I prefer my cottage cheese savory, with scallions, chives and some Durkee Salad Seasoning, but when I go sweet, my choice is fruit cocktail. Since that wasn’t an option, I picked my favorite of the fruit cocktail fruits - peaches. ---

Salt, pepper and maybe a dash of vinegar. No fruit! _shudder_ ---

Fruit? Salt and pepper only please. If forced to eat cottage cheese with a fruit it would be pineapple I suppose. ---

> [@Ponch8](#): > > None of the above–fruit and cottage cheese are best enjoyed separately. Add me to this group. Diced dill pickle and yellow mustard are my go-to for cottage cheese. Failing that, just place pepper. ---

Jalapenos are berries, botanically speaking. I therefore say diced pickled jalapenos! I don’t eat this wonderful mix any more because of the sodium load in it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-fruit-is-in-your-cottage-cheese/760458.md?page=2)
