Question

How come there is always cottage cheese at American buffets?

Answer 1

I don't know but I'm glad they do because I don't like it enough to buy a whole carton, but just a glob on my plate is pretty tasty!

Answer 2

some people like to lump it on top of their salad or eat it with their veggies.

personally, i know a lot of people who will put it in salad along with french dressing...it sounds odd, but it acutally tastes pretty good.

Answer 3

if it's a breakfast buffet, then it's because IT'S BREAKFAST.  otherwise, I've never seen it at a buffet...

Answer 4

It is cheap, kind of tasty, and filling. What more could a buffet operator want in an item to add there?

Answer 5

for the people on diets

Answer 6

ibu guru is exactly right - and it is a good food for people dieting because it is higher in calcium but lower in fat than dairy products like ice cream etc. It's also a good source of protein for those who are vegetarians (or vegans I get them mixed up, the ones who will do dairy/egg products).

Answer 7

People like it with their salads, fruits, veggies, just by itself.

Also its good for people on a diet, I think it is anyway.

Answer 8

Not always, but quite common at cheaper buffets.  There's always a dieter, diabetic, vegetarian, picky eater, fussy child or something with a group, and cottage cheese is something most people can/will eat; many people like it with fruit or green salad; it's relatively inexpensive.

Answer 9

alot of people eat it as part of a fruit or vege salad
