the curds that gym bros and grandmas finally agree on
means A soft, lumpy fresh cheese made from loose curds left mild and a little wet, eaten plain, salted, or fruited.
from The name is plain English and fairly young: it's literally cheese made in a cottage. The story is that families with a cow or a little milk left over from butter-making would curdle the leftovers into a quick fresh cheese at home — no aging cellar, no fuss, just the cottage kitchen. 'Cottage' here carries that whiff of humble, homemade smallness, and the term seems to have settled in around the 19th century as a folksy label for the everyday curd cheese ordinary households already made.
