Mannish water is not water at all. It is soup. It is sometimes called power water and is rarely on a restaurant menu but rather made and sold along the street.
Do you really want to know what is in it? Goats head, that's what's in it!
These precious little goats that I see along every road end up in a pot. Poor things.

We went to Kingston to try to find a small ham for the three of us for Easter and they are so costly that we changed our mind. Maybe mannish water doesn't sound so bad after all!!!
Happy Easter!
