Last sentence was MY commentary, by the way, not his.

Thought you all would appreciate hearing the “Tequila Pusher’s” response to my question about bloggers blindly taking recipes and promos and running with them without having tried the product:

Hi Katie –

No disrespect taken. Some bloggers do take the recipes and simply post them. Some times samples are requested and if we can accommodate we send the samples. It’s just difficult with so many outlets and so few samples. We just simply hope to get exposure.

So there you have it….the “throw it all against a wall and see what sticks” mentality for what it’s worth.

Like everything else America seems to get its hands on, they take a good (or bad) idea and run it completely into the ground. The sad part, Kev, is that I’m sure several bloggers grab the ideas, or the recipes, or the whatever and RUN with it. It’s THOSE idiots these guys are hoping to hook.

Katie,

I am up to like 3 or 4 of these emails a day, and I don’t know why. I don’t get what they are thinking.

I just got one yesterday offering me a review sample of a fruit fly trap….shaped like a tiny apple. I’m not sure whether that’s meant to fake out the fruit flies or your guests

Can’t agree more Katie. Jim and I are now getting spammed from Wild Turkey’s marketing company because we participated in a blogger event. I hope they don’t sell our info and we start getting spam from everywhere!

I’m not saying I wouldn’t dig WATCHING the show, but you couldn’t pay me enough to be a contestant. I’d wind up wire tapping the house and coming after anyone who dared insult me or my home with a cast iron skillet.

hey no dissing Come Dine With Me – I love that show!

Come on get the idea – you take a bunch of mad, egotistic so called foodies, who when reading each others menus suddenly dont know what the words that are basic cooking knowledge means and make them have three course meals with each other for a week. You then get them to score each other on the night of each host and you listen to how they bitch at each other.

What is starting in this country now is charity home versions – where friends go to each others homes and put in a certain amount of money into the pot and the overall winner gets the money for their charity … great idea and you know the people involved.

Curious though because this is NOT a BBC show it is a rival station and has been from the start – I am wondering if they have bought the format for USA.

Seriously the show is a big hit in this country, mainly though for the sarcastic witty comments of the narrator of the show. He is the best thing on it.
