I love what you are doing. But why did you call Chocho by the Spanish name and not give a reference of what we call it. Otherwise, I love the whole thing.
Hi there! This series is intended primarily for a US audience and so we use naming conventions associated with this market. Chef Irie does mention in the show that Jamaicans say Cho Cho. Thanks for watching. More to come!
