I agree unless it's their ethnic food. My Italian step-grandmother would have beat me with her wooden spoon if I suggested cottage cheese in her lasagna.There is definitely a lot of shit with food that is just being pretentious, particularly when white people start telling you about "authentic" ethnic food. Now maybe you are angry about cottage cheese in lasagna because it's different than what you're used to and maybe it's because you're a pretentious twat but it certainly isn't because it tastes bad. I think people probably started putting it in there because supermarkets used to be a lot less diverse and you couldn't necessarily just walk down to the store and get ricotta in all parts of the country but the two things are not dissimilar enough to warrant the amount of angst people have over it unless there is some level of condescension getting added in there.
