Male goat’s head, intestines and testicles. Yes, these are some of the main ingredients for one of Jamaica’s most popular soups, mannish water.
If you are a foodie and a fan of trying out new cuisine irrespective of its ingredients, then this spicy dish should definitely be the next to taste on your culinary bucket list.
Also known as “Jamaica’s favorite party soup,” other mannish water ingredients include dumplings, hot peppers, coconut, yam and green bananas. The soup, which is preferably prepared with a male goat and served at social gatherings including weddings and parties is believed to be an aphrodisiac.
A Jamaican chef, who was interviewed by Vice explained why male goats are preferred to females.
“Mannish water is always made from a male goat. Never a female,” he said.
“It’s believed that meat from a male goat will bring vigor. Also, apparently ram goat urine has a scent that attracts the female goat.”
For clarification sake, the ram’s urine isn’t used to prepare the meal, so hold your horses and take a deep breath!
According to the chef, just like some other third world countries, “it is only the male goat that is prized and killed for eating. The females are kept for pets and milk.”
