Thanks to this season's presenting sponsor, Driscolls, only the finest berries.

Hi listeners! In a previous episode this season, we included the phrase chop-chop during our segment about safe knife use.

We have decided to remove that line because it was brought to our attention that the phrase chop-chop is rooted in both racism and classism.

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge this mistake and talk a little bit about why we have decided to remove it.

Many dictionaries trace the phrase back to the Cantonese word which means to make haste.

Chop chop was used on merchant ships by both Chinese and English merchants, traders and servants.

It was often used by people who had power, who are often white, as a way to tell those without power, who are often Chinese, to hurry up or move quickly.

Its history is mean and racist and we won't be using it on our show ever again.

We want to thank those who brought this to our attention and again apologize.

We aren't perfect and we make mistakes like this one.

But when those mistakes happen, it felt important to us to acknowledge what we had done and apologize for it.

And we hope through this apology more people will learn about the origins of this phrase and stop using it in their lives too.

We are so grateful to our listeners for engaging with us, listening to our show, and sharing their feelings and reactions with us, whatever those feelings may be.

Thank you for being a part of making this show the best it can be.

As always, if you have any thoughts you want to share with our team, we want to hear them.

You can always reach out to us by email at mystery recipe at americastestkitchen.com.
