Sweet or salty cottage cheese??



caytlyn   Jul 2, 07, 23:15 /  #
My father seems to recall eating cottage cheese with sugar or salt mixed in. He's from Johnstown, PA and all relatives/parents are Slovakian. Has anyone heared of this before? Just trying to figure out if this was a "kid" thing, or a family recipe.. lol.

Thanks.

Yes, Poles eat white cheese with salt (not with sugar for sure).

It depens on the ocasion. To "naleśniki" You can add sugar and for bread You'd rather add salt, pepper, or garlic...
You can also eat sweetend cottage cheese as a dessert, especially with vanilla sugar ora sugar and vanilla extract.

It wasn't cottage cheese in our house it was a white cream cheese that my Mum used to make herself. I know you can still get the same in Polish food shops. It wasn't sweet but very delicious.

You can get Polish cheesecake, though that isn't very sweet either but lovely too.

I don't ever remember having cottage cheese (like you buy in the shops now) didn't appear to be a Polish thing when I was little :)

Polish people do seem to like a lot of salt on their food. When we were on holiday in Poland the food was very, very salty.

Sounds similar to what they call "kohupiim" in Estonia which is smoother than cottage cheese (it's actually curd, but is often mistranslated as cottage cheese) which is served in a variety of ways such as salted, sugared, with raisins, chocolate coated (sounds disgusting but is actually pretty good;-))

I'm a mountain or two away from Johnstown. :)

In Poland (and the rest of the Slovak countries), there is a very common sort of cheese that looks sort of like cottage cheese that's been squished together and had the liquid drained off. It crumbles apart when you cut it, and then it looks just like drained cottage cheese. In Poland, it's called biały ser or twaróg. It's quite possibly my favorite cheese. Normally, it's lightly salted before it's eaten. You can take a nice slice of bread, top it with a quarter-inch thick slice of cheese, add a pinch or two of salt and a nice tomato slice, and enjoy! Sometimes, sugar is added to it. My aunt in Krakow serves a plate of hot Polish noodles, then crumbles up biały ser (cold) over the noodles and top it all fried bread crumbs and butter. You sprinkle sugar all over it before you eat it.

You'll have trouble finding the cheese in the US nowadays, though. I've heard that it's very easy to make, but requires unpasturized milk, and the sale of unpasturized milk and its products has been outlawed in the US. :(
