It has a handle a filling opening and a spout just like a teapot. the difference is that it is way bigger. the yabbas I am talking about was the one that country people use to take to their farms and leave to cooking.
the reason is that it can't rust,or the weather has no effect on it. It is almost a sphere, with opening at the top that made it useful. Usually they don't even have covers.

Jerk from Jamaica

http://books.google.ca/books?id=qQJUgmzFNScC&pg=PA168&lpg=PA168&dq=yabba+jug&source=bl&ots=-bVOxJEfeq&sig=LPfEUiuEVzTZpTqZ-89jkuti2ls&hl=en&ei=QcIdSqLKHKjmtgOyuZ2QCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6

When Helen Willinsky first published her classic Jamaican barbecue cookbook, "jerk" was a fightin' word to most people outside the Caribbean Islands. Not anymore. In love with fire and spice, barbecue fans and food lovers of all stripes have discovered the addictive flavors of Jamaican jerk seasoning and Caribbean cooking in general. Newly revised and bursting with island color, Helen's book provides a friendly introduction to this increasingly popular way to season and prepare meat, chicken, and fish. Rounded off with simple and authentic recipes for sides, drinks, and desserts, JERK FROM JAMAICA is a complete backyard guide to grilling and eating island-style. An updated, expanded, and repackaged version of the only authentic Jamaican jerk barbecue book, featuring chicken, pork, beef, lamb, goat, seafood, and more. Includes more than 100 recipes, with a dozen new ones from the author and other Jamaican food mavens like Enid Donaldson and the Busha Browne Company, plus a new foreword from Jamaican cookbook author Virginia Burke. Contains 50 full-color photos, both styled food and on-location shots from the markets and jerk pits of Jamaica. Previous edition sold more than 75,000 copies.Reviews“Get this first-rate cookbook in your hands and see if you can stop.”—Houston Chronicle“Helen Willinsky makes a passionate case for the tropical taste with Jerk from Jamaica.”—Boston Herald

Compliments of the jamaican patois/rasta dictionary.

Jamaican yabbas and monkey Jar.also called spaniard Jar

early pic of Jamaican selling yabbas on the sidewalk scroll down for pics and close ups of samples in the historical collection from Port Royal dig.,

Stay there using the description of foreigners writing their book. I saw the description you reffered to and it is by a foreignb cooking writer, how many times have I seen this treatment of Jamaican culture?

</div></div> In other words I am right. Since I stated that in my first post on th etopic.
spanish Jars are used to hold water or other forms of liquids. Yabbas are made as a cooking utencil. In other words yabba is a caly pot, while spanish Jar (monkey Jar)
is a holding vessel. The latter is much largwer than a yabba, and is more c9omplex in it's manufacture,although like the yabbas, they are also made from clay and fired in a kiln.
