No party is ever complete without the traditional Mannish
Water boiled to perfection in your favorite zinc pan,
well maybe a large pot will do too. This festive vegetable
laden soup is also the soup of choice at most ninth night,

In addition to using freshly cutup goat's head, goat's
tripe and goat's feet can also be added to this rich brew.
