Quoting Nancy Backus to Jim Weller <=-

cottage cheese and pineapple salads were all the rage in the
50s and early 60s but didn't stand the test of time and are rare
these days.

Daddy liked cottage cheese, and liked to combine
it with various canned fruits... sometimes it was peach halves

I too had similar things for a while as a kid.

I rather like a savoury version. I will sometimes dice onions,
celery and a mix of red and green, sweet and somewhat hot peppers,
along with whatever fresh herbs are available and then stir them all
into some cottage cheese.

I still see the equivalent in restaurants as a "fruit and cottage
cheese plate" or some such... :)

It was sometimes called a diet plate.

I haven't seen it on restuarant menus here for decades.


Cheers

Jim
