Male Water is a unique Jamaican soup made from a collection of ingredients including bananas, Scotch peppers, potatoes, and the head, testicles, feet, and internal organs of a goat. The soup is usually made in a large pot over an open fire, where it is simmered for hours, and is often sold by vendors from open-air stalls. The dish can be served with flour dumplings that are cooked in the soup; it can also be poured over rice, eaten with baked potatoes, or even sipped as a hot drink when mixed with rum. Male water can often be found at parties and celebrations, where it is consumed before or after drinking alcohol.
There are a few different properties attributed to masculine water. One of the most common is that, when eaten, it acts as an aphrodisiac. It is also said to reduce the intoxicating effects of alcohol and to act as a hangover remedy. The robust flavor and heavy ingredients have also led to the belief that masculine water provides additional power and strength to the person who drinks it, which may have some basis because the primary ingredients in the soup are energy-producing carbohydrates and proteins. Culturally, in addition to being considered an aphrodisiac, eating masculine water is sometimes said to increase a person’s masculinity.
The main ingredient in men’s water is meat, usually goat, although lamb can also be used. The goat’s head is used in its entirety, including the tongue, brain and eyes. The goat’s feet, which contain a gelatin that will thicken the soup, are added along with the heart and several other pieces of offal. The chunks are usually carved into small pieces and then boiled by themselves in a large amount of water for several hours until all the flavors have been extracted and the water has become a reserve.
After the goat parts have been cooked, several other ingredients are added to the male water. These can include potatoes, potatoes, bananas, carrots and allspice seeds. Nearly all recipes also have thyme, garlic, and incredibly hot Scotch peppers in the soup. These ingredients are cooked in the pot with the goat meat for an hour or more, until done.
Once the goat soup is done, it can be left on a low heat so it continues to boil, but the Scotch bonnet peppers are removed so their heat doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the ingredients. There aren’t many formal, indoor restaurants that serve masculine water, making it mostly the domain of outdoor hawkers. The soup is very popular on certain occasions, including weddings, and is sold canned or frozen.
