Re: I would much rather...

I dislike when they take the very slow bite and roll their eyes like it was the the best meal they have ever tasted and have been starved for weeks.

I dont eat that way. I mean when i bite into a cheesecake I savour it, but not make all those contorted faces and moans. Its a total turnoff and makes me want to run to the bakery and ordering a slice of anything for immediate satisfaction.

@kaydee50 I totally agree! I would NEVER pay the prices for QVC food. I never watch food shows on QVC. As for kitchen gadgets.... I've downsized & gotten rid of most of my gadgets & some small appliances. If I do watch any type of kitchen products, I WANT to hear the vendor & know what the gadget/appliance does.

*As for all other vendors & hosts.... I would rather hear from the vendor, with the exception of Susan Graver. I can not tolerate her madness.

For those that would "never" buy a food product from QVC or the television, I will remind you that not everyone has a great selection of some foods in their area.

Can I get a caramel apple at the grocery store, probably. But I can't get anything like the quality of a Mrs. Prindables, and they are cheaper on Q than at their own site.

The prices of some of their food items are really high, in my opinion, but other things aren't that bad for what they are, or for the once a year treat we make them.

The best part is it is delivered straight to my door, and if I'm not happy with it in any way, QVC refunds all the money, and no returning foods.

I've bought quite a bit of their foods over the years, some we continue to buy, some, once was enough to know I can do as well locally, and others I called for a refund as we were totally not happy with the product.

In this day and age, it really isn't any difference than buying clothing, purses, or sheets online. If it seems interesting to you and you think the price is worth it, it's a done deal.

        Totally agree!! I also like that it is delivered to my door.   One of the reason I also order from Amazon and WalMart.
         I have bought some really good food items and then again, I have asked for a refund for some! Love Prindable apples; love Potstickers; love My Grandma's. But Germack - some good, some horrible; most of the popcorn varieties are either too salty or too sweet; did not like the R's meatballs.
        Taste is such a personal thing....I do appreciate having the option of ordering or not!

I buy some of the food also but do not like the meatballs. They have no taste. I had to doctor them to taste any where near Italian. I am on auto-del for the Heartland Fresh chicken fried chicken. I have to cook it longer than the recommended time but it's delicious. I also love the Rastelli steaks. I don't think the steaks at my local market are as good as Rastelli. But I will buy something once and if we don't like it I just don't order again. I also like the delivery to my door.

I suppose part of food is to have someone taste it and let the consumer know if it's good or not. This to bother some people. I'm not bothered by the food presentations. Each segment is alloted a certain amount of time and so there may not be time to let a vendor go on and on. The hosts have a director and producer in their ears telling them what to do to move the product.

Have you seen David lately??

I can't stand David doing the stupid eye rolls and the so called happy dance. He is far from being a little kid. I stopped watching him long long ago..
