I used to be a pineapple-cottagecheese junkie. Ate so much I burned out on
the stuff. But, now that you mention it, I also haven't seen either chives
or pineapple in ages.

Another oddity: I haven't used garic salt in ages. But, came across
something I needed it for and went looking for some at the supermarket.
Well, there were at least a dozen size/brands of garlic salt w/ parsely, but
only one small single size/brand of plain ol' garlic salt and it was
considerably more expensive than the g/s w/pars. I smell a parsely filler
scam.

Are you sure these weren't variations you mom (or whoever did the food prep)
came up with? Did you see the container; if so, was it single serve, like
pudding cups?

I'm in my 50s and I don't recall seeing anything but plain cottage cheese in
stores; though, I must confess I only look and buy the larger (not
single-serving) containers. My mom used to make the pineapple variation
simply by stirring in a small can of drained pineapple tidbits before
serving.

I sure remember this stuff. I loved it on boiled or baked potatoes.

Not a scam. Each of the companies spent millions of dollars to find
out that little bits of green parsley in the mix gives the product
more authenticity and thus is likely to sell more. Giving them an
edge in the struggle for survival.... or maybe I am confusing The
Origin of Species with Marketing 101.

Gosh, that must be fabulously easy to make, maybe I'm not getting it.
You sure it was cottage cheese and not maybe cream cheese?
Good luck with that.

So, do what my mother used to do. Buy plain cottage cheese and cut up
your own chives into it.
That was over 40 years ago.

Me, too. What I also can't find is full-fat cottage cheese with pineapple.
Some brands even had cream added.

Where do you live? I picked up some chive cream cheese at a local bagel
store two weeks ago.

Cream cheese, yes, but the cottage cheese with chives seems to have
disappeared.

That may have been the brand I used to buy in Ohio. Dean's isn't available
in Arizona and I have seen any others like it.

If you live here in the northwest, you can still buy both. Darigold
still makes them.

Apparantly the same thing I am missing. My guess is that the
manufacturers figured out how to sell salt for $10.00/lb by packing such
combinations as "garlic salt" and "lemon pepper"..

I can't find chive cottage cheese; chive cream cheese (except whipped)
or frozen chives, which used to come in little tubs in the freezer
section - they were wonderful to just sprinkle on cottage cheese and/or
tomatoes/potatoes or whatever.

Now I have to buy fresh chives at $3 something a container, and they
get slimey SO fast. Yeah, I know, grow my own - don't have a window
arrangement to get the job done, unfortunately, even in a bedroom or
bathroom.

Just a little side note... I'm pretty satisfied with Penzey's
dried chives. No, they're not the same as fresh, which I grow outside
in the summer and use frequently...but they're not bad! I sometimes
mix some in with my egg salad, or sprinkle some in soups. They might
work for mixing in with cottage cheese too, it's worth a try.

Ariane

P.S. My attempts to grow chives indoors didn't work out well,
either. They were all spindly, and didn't attain the same growth that
they do outside in the ground. This past summer's clumps of chives
were 8-9" high and did very well up until the heavy snowfall we got
over Christmas. I haven't tried drying them myself yet!

The place I was referring to makes their own of both products. I suppose
they add the same chive mixture to cream cheese and to cottage (they
only sell dairy products, so I suppose they try to create as wide a
variety as possible). I reckon the cream cheese is the bigger seller
breakfast-time, while they sell more of the cottage cheese around lunch.

We can still get Hood chive or pineapple cottage cheese here in NH.
Maybe this brand is regional, but I don't know.

I'm lucky enough to have a nice herb garden, but chives are very easy to
dry or freeze. When you purchase them at the grocery store, chop up
whatever you won't be using immediately and freeze them in a baggie.
When you need a few "fresh" chives, just reach into your freezer. They
really do keep pretty well this way and they won't go to waste. I do
the same thing with scallions.

Denise in NH

Recall both and also garden salad that had minced peppers in it wit some
other things. Not fixed out of the carton but the regular 1 pound carton in
various flavors. Used to buy them in the 60's and 70's in Chicago
supemarkets.

Have you tried the dried from the spice area? I think they are good. Not
as good as fresh but better than nothing.

And what ever happened to large curd cottage cheese? Had the really
