Merry Christmas to all lovers of the cottage cheese fish! My great aunt is sending me back to my grandma's with a big ramekin of it for me to devour.

    Is this a tradition somewhere? Google gives me nothing.

    Horrifying. I wish I had my grandmother’s mold so I could make one just like it.

    Is this JUST cottage cheese or is it some sort of cottage cheese-based sweet? Why does he have cherry eyes???

    It makes me uncomfortable and I love it.

    Omg I was just telling my partner about the fish mold today… we were talking about how jello molds seem to be making a comeback. So happy to see it again. Happy holidays. 🙂‍↕️

    I’ll see this tonight in my nightmares. Merry Christmas!

    At first I cringed. But then I looked at the experienced hands unmolding it, and I remembered my grandmother, my mother, and now at 53, I begin to see my own hands.

    It’s still shitty food, don’t get me wrong. But you look for it every Christmas, and one sad year, you’ll either miss it terribly—or someone else will take up the cottage cheese fish tradition, so as not to disappoint at Christmas, and your children will take their own photos and roll their eyes—and memorize the recipe.

    It’s kind of beautiful. Merry Christmas.
