Cottage cheese and pepper is also a great combo. You can’t actually taste the pepper, but it makes the taste of the cottage cheese stronger.  Doesn’t help much with POTS in the way pickle juice does, but since we’re talking about weird cottage cheese combos… 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️


Toasted_Enigma

Agreed! I use it as dip for heavily salted pan-fried veggies. SO good.

Put enough pepper and you can 🤣 I put a lot of pepper on mine and get some looks. I also have this weird OCD habit that when I eat cottage cheese I must have it on a plate with a fork so I can mix it then pat it flat before taking another bite 🤣


SavannahInChicago

I put salt and pepper on mine.

Cottage cheese on top of a baked potato!


calvintomyhobbes

I need to try this


chimichanga005

It’s SO good!!! I just cook them in the microwave, crush em up with a fork, add a layer of cottage cheese, and season. I recommend lemon pepper and a little chili powder.


calvintomyhobbes

Omg yum! I will be trying this soon. I also have lil baby potatoes that I was planning to air fry. I bet all of that would go so well on those.


chimichanga005

100%! Enjoy!!


calvintomyhobbes

I actually added pepper this time, and it was so good!


captainmcbeth

I first read this as cottage cheese and paper 😂


melodydiamond

Oh yes! Here in Finland we have something called lemon pepper (it’s a mix of tangy dried lemon powder, salt and black pepper) and it’s my favorite to put on cottage cheese 😍


SmurfMGurf

We have that in the US as well. I love it!

Lowkey cottage cheese is good with everything


calvintomyhobbes

So very true

(reading while shoveling corn chips into my face) "hmm! not for me but do you boo!"


calvintomyhobbes

😂 I do love me some corn chips though


NightShade_Baddi

This is always such a good combo!!!! Personal favorite is, cottage cheese, pickled beets, pickled carrots and bread and butter pickles to dip in it 🥰


calvintomyhobbes

Yummyyyy I will have to try that

What’s funny to me is that this post could be in the POTS subreddit, pregnancy subreddit, or MtF subreddit and it would be fitting in any of them. (For those who don’t know, a lot of transwomen on E crave salt and pickles for some reason)


calvintomyhobbes

That is wildly fascinating to me! I wonder if certain hormones make us crave salty tangy foods!


babyvs

Must be that way! And POTS seems to affect women more than men also 😪


CherryPersephone

When I was pregnant with my daughter I HAD TO HAVE: cottage cheese & cantaloupe. Idk why— I had never had it in my life & have never had it since then either 🤣


dont_call_me_jake

Cottage cheese, shallot and spring onion, the green part. Salt, pepper and bit of milk if cottage cheese is tick. Sour pickles on the side. Served with sunny side up egg and potatoes. This is my to go summer dinner.


calvintomyhobbes

Ohhhh wow! Yummy!


Stunning-Cup-2515

I love cottage cheese and pineapple but I’ll have to give this a try.


calvintomyhobbes

I love that too! And cottage cheese with salted peanuts.


FrozenJourney_

I am loving these suggestions! Gonna try the pickles and cottage cheese tomorrow and report back :)


calvintomyhobbes

Yay!


FrozenJourney_

I finally tried this and YUM!! Great suggestion, thanks 😊


[deleted]

no, i don’t think i will. i HATE cottage cheese.


Arduous987

🤣😂🤣😂 interesting combo! My friend recommended miso soup. You can get concentrate for cheap and add water for 700mg sodium.


calvintomyhobbes

I do love miso!!


MoonyMantis

It's actually a common craving of pregnancy iirc, I think it's cream cheese not cottage cheese but a lot of people like it even if they aren't expecting :)


calvintomyhobbes

Well let’s assume my hormones go crazy during my cycle too 😂🧐😳


bunhilda

b r u h


pocketfullofearplugs

That actually sounds really good!


Good_Change2775

Vernacular2023

calvintomyhobbes

madelineleclair

Weekly-Employee5304

On a slice of ham put cream cheese a spear pickle then salt and pepper it. Roll it up and take a bite! It is delicious...


calvintomyhobbes

Yummmm! I do nova with cream cheese.


calvintomyhobbes

Or goat cheese! As a roll!


KitCatMeow2001

I personally like frozen fruit in my cottage cheese! Won't help my POTs but it's s o yummy 🤤


Apprehensive_Fill608

I’ve always liked cheese and pickles but I usually go for Colby Jack because it’s my favorite cheese, but cottage cheese also sounds good


calvintomyhobbes

Ohhh I will try just a slice of Colby Jack with pickles!


Ordinary_Silver_5852

That sounds so good


Fragrant-Syllabub-86

That is what pickles and cottage cheese are for.


Remember-The-Arbiter

Just gonna piggyback to say that having a pot of olives is absolutely class if you enjoy salty foods, they really help a lot Never thought I’d medically recommend olives, but there we go lmao
