🇯🇲 Jamaica recipe

Mannish Water

Mannish water is a hearty, peppery goat head soup that holds a special place in Jamaican culture, traditionally served at celebrations and widely regarded as a potent tonic. The soup draws its deep, gelatinous flavor from slow-simmering goat head, feet, and tripe with ground provisions. It is heavily seasoned with scotch bonnet and allspice, creating a broth that is at once restorative and intensely flavorful.
