I can remember when I was a kid churning our own butter from milk straight from the cow, and Mom taking the leftover juice and making buttermilk and "smearcase" I didn't realize until I looked it up that smearcase was PA Dutch. We had some cottage cheese at the church last Friday for our food distribution, and when I called it smearcase, everybody looked rather strange at me, and didn't seem to understand what I was talking about. Now and then I call rubber bands "gum bands", and didn't realize that seems to be unique to PA as well. Don in AZ
