uselessness commented on the word cottage cheese
Once I learned how this stuff was made, I never touched it again. Just the phrase curds and whey gives me the shivers. The thought of coagulated lumps of soured dairy product, floating in a nondescript white goo, makes me want to puke. Repeatedly.

I am a product of my environment. My parents made me eat gross stuff!
Actually it's funny, I'm not really afraid of anything. I just get squirmy easily.
