Jamaican Cuisine Basics: The Essential Building Blocks - Mannish Water Is Therapy

Pick up your "Dry Thyme Is A Scam merch at the shop: https://feedandteach.myspreadshop.com/ In this video I make a traditional Jamaican mannish water using goat head, belly, ground provisions, fresh herbs, white rum and plenty of time. Growing up, mannish water was always tied to funerals, nine nights and grave diggings for me. I hated the gaminess as a child, but as I got older I began to understand the deeper role this soup played in Jamaican culture. This is more than just a recipe. It’s about ritual, memory, community and the strange way food helps people carry grief, celebrate life and keep going.
