It’s not cottage cheese, it’s a sort of raw, squeaky cheese in chunks, spread over french fries and the whole thing doused in gravy. I’ve often thought it was something cooked up by drunks from what they had on hand. It’s popular diner food up there. One of those things you’d have to grow up with to like, I guess. Every place seems to have something like that.

I think you’re right. I kept coming across an odd culinary reference in Agatha Christie books—beans on toast. Finally I decided to look it up.
Turns out...it’s beans on toast. Like you said, maybe something you’d have to grow up with, to find appealing.
What was hilarious, btw, is that it was an American ex-pat who listed the English recipe for Beans on Toast. After which, she tactfully suggested several ways to make it a more interesting and tasty dish. Lol.
