There are different types of cottage cheese - the large curd seems to be the most common, but there's a (usually whole milk) small curd version that's a bit more ricotta-like (although looser/more liquid).
Cottage cheese and apple butter is a weird but delicious Pennsylvania German (a.k.a. "Pennsylvania Dutch") dessert/side dish.
As Lainie said, it's good with pineapple. Also with cling peaches.
