Gourmet Holiday

Coloradogal — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 23:33:05 GMT

I do not understand why the hosts aren't eating the food. They go to restaurants and eat food that has been cooked and served by strangers! I truly bothers me to think that all the food is going to waste. Now if the food is going to the staff after the show...

One more thing...I and many other QVC followers agree that it gets old when the host continually interrupts the person who is representing the product. Please stop!!!

Probably, because, I am just assuming, they have food prep people, food stylists and many others that are handling things and they want to limit what their hosts touch? Due to covid we are living in a "don't touch" society.

Eating got out of control - host munching - chewing - talking with their mouth full of food..........virus was a good 'reason' ........to make a change...(period)

Most of the food shown is prepared in advance and sits there for quite some time before presentation. I remember years ago, Bob Bowersox said he became very ill eating food on the set that had sat there far too long to be edible.

The food sits under those hot studio lights and is just not safe for anyone to consume.

As far as the "interrupting" goes, several hosts have responded that with the few second time delay with Skype, it may seem like they're interrupting, but it's not intentional.

I'm happy they aren't eating the food but some of the hosts (Jayne and Pat James) look like they are dissecting a frog in biology class with the way they cut the food!

They must not cook at home although I've heard Jayne brings in goodies for the hosts.

What is that thing Alberti has around his neck on today's Holiday Gourmet show? A scarf?

@Jinlei I was wondering the same thing. It looks ridiculous.

Oh boy, Jane and Alberti on today. I watched for 5 minutes and Jane mentioned her daughter 4 times. Had enough and turned it off. She is a big turn off.

Different strokes I guess. I love Gourmet Holiday with Jane Treacy and Alberti paired. Perfect combination for me.

Add to that comments about her mother, her father, her Italian family...I think there was a family statement every few minutes. I turned it off too!!!

A 7 hour Gourmet Holiday today? Carolyn is hosting although I am sure not the whole 7 hours. I bet she will say she ordered one of everything she presents. She must have a humongous kitchen. I turned it off. Two hours is bad enough. They have already talked the Rastelli's steaks to death. Time to do something else.

I'm noticing lately though that many, if not all of them, state that or that they will or that they already have it at home. 7hours is SO much, especially when they already had food shows this week. They ust sell more food than anything else.

I thought it was funny that since Covid, they kept stating to buy the food coz we weren't going anywhere to celebrate with anyone anyway and now they're saying to buy it for the company we will be having our meals with over the holidays. So, no one is cooking but everyone is buying and being with their loved ones regardless of Covid? Get's confusing.
