Can't find full fat cottage cheese
I love cottage cheese, but can't stand the lighter choices, and that seems to be all that's on offer in the supermarkets now. Not everyone wants to eat low fat stuff!

Cottage cheese has to be the easiest cheese to make at home.

Ingredients: 4 pints of milk Salt and any flavourings, such as chopped herbs (chives are good, for example) Vinegar or lemon/lime juice(they used lemon on the show) Butter (if you want spreadable cream cheese) Method: -Warm milk to hand hot before removing from heat -Add vinegar or lemon/lime juice and stir gently. The curds should form as the whey separates from the cheese. -Drain off whey and save. -For cream cheese mix in a little butter plus salt and any herbs. Whisk until creamy. This creamy cheese can be added to sauces or used for sandwiches. -For Cottage cheese drain fully in a sieve and add salt before adding herbs if wanted |

I'm sure M&S do full-fat (i.e normal) cottage cheese. |

I think it was the one of the first things taught in primary school.cooking lessons and with the whey we made junket. Although they may have been two seperate lessons merged in my memory. I wonder if they still teach anything like this now or if it has become a bit irrelevant.

I am not sure what people are taught at schools these days. Everyone wants to buy stuff when it is often cheaper and easier to make your own.
If the OP wanted to make their own they would post "How do I make cottage cheese?" I know you will come back saying it's very easy / quick / cheap to make many things at home, and that's true. I love cooking, but I really wouldn't want to spend time heating milk, separating curds, and adding other ingredients. |

Fair enough, but your response to nearly everyone on here is to tell them (rather unhelpfully) to make their own.

I also went to school where everything was home made and we had a great deal of enjoyment learning how to make things for yourself such as food, clothes and other articles which people needlessly buy. |

I can make pastry very well, and a stock, and roast some chicken, and prepare a gravy, but that doesn't mean that every time I want a chicken pie I'm going to go to the faff. Sometimes I will, when I have time and want to be creative, but sometimes I will get one in M&S or from the local butcher (who makes pies) because of the convenience, and the non-existence of washing-up afterwards. |

I agree with Welsh-Lad. The days when I made nearly everything myself are very long gone, all I wanted to know was where I could buy some full-fat cottage cheese, not be told how easy it is to make it.

As you may not have been aware how easy it is to make cottage cheese, stud's comment could have put you in a new and preferable direction. He doesn't deserve to be berated for his post. Mind you, Food and Drink should probably be renamed Fast Food and Soda, as the last thing most people here seem interested in is actually cooking anything themselves, they are all so busy occupied on threads about Walker's Crisps and Diet coke. |

OP Have you tried Longley Farm cottage cheese? (Normal not fat free obv). They sell it in Morrisons and Asda at least but its a northern brand so might not be available in the south?
6% and the nicest one I've tasted. |

"don't patronize people with stupid 'make your own, it's so much more easy/healthy/cheap' posts" should be a standing rule on this forum.

Why give more money to the multi nationals than you really need to? |

It is saving people money. In times of austerity, people need to learn that the best things are made more cheaply in the home and give you a lot of satisfaction and pleasure making it.
