Re: Re: soup

btw, we don't email the recipes, I hope you come back here to see this info. Here's what I found on Cow Cod Soup. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] You can cook this on the stove top as well.


(from the www, interesting story as well!!)

THERE'S NO genteel way to put it -- a cow cod is really the bull's reproductive organs which include his genitals.

It boggles the mind as to why it's called cow cod when it really comes from the bull -- but Jamaicans make their own rules.

I was in my mid-teens when I first encountered cow cod soup. As was his custom on Saturdays, my late father and his male friends usually got together for dominoes or to listen to cricket. The menu consisted of liquor, roast fish, crackers with solomon gundy and cow cod soup. Talk was of man -stuff meaning liberal doses of politics and raunchy talk.

We (children) were usually warned to stay away and do school work but when cow cod soup was on the menu I was told to stay out of the kitchen so that he could make his soup.

Still, I found the preparations interesting (though at first a bull's sex organs seemed too gross for humans to eat) and as the men used to salivate at the prospect of downing several bowls, I found many reasons to visit the kitchen during the making. And when it was cooked, the thing was delicious. Never mind the warnings of why children shouldn't have it.

I made a mental note of the recipe and have cooked it at least once a year since then. You see, I came to realise that men really believe cow cod soup has the power to put "it" back.

In fact, they claim that it goes straight to their backs where they think their sexual prowess lies.

So if you're having your guy over for dinner this Valentine, try my recipe. Or men, this could be the perfect recipe for your male bonding sessions.

YOU WILL NEED
1 or 2 genuine cow cods
Chochoes
Irish potatoes
Pumpkin
Flour for spinners
Turnips
Leftman cocoes
Breadfruit
Yam
Carrots
Pimento grains
Lots of fresh, ripe & green scotchbonnet pepper
One bunch fresh green thyme, garlic
One bunch escallion
3-4 packs of cock soup
Marjoram (if available)
Salt to taste.

METHOD
For best results, cook on a wood fire outdoors or on a coal stove.

Place your big soup pot on wood fire three quarters filled with water. Bring to boil. While this is boiling, cut cow cod into small pieces (use very sharp knife as it's very tough in parts). Mash several pegs of garlic and some pimento grains and cover pot and allow this to boil.

Peel, wash and dice pumpkin, turnip, carrots and chochoes. Add pumpkin and allow it to boil till mashed to give the soup a rich colour. Make spinners. (Or make some real dumplings.)

When the cod is tender, add the chochoes, turnip and carrots and allow them to boil. Add coco, yam, breadfruit and dumplings. (Follow the rules to make soup).

When the food is almost cooked, pull out the flaming logs and leave hot coals, add the packs of cock soup, salt, escallion, thyme, more garlic and marjoram and let simmer till it reaches the right consistency. Leave at least three whole peppers to float on the top of the soup and give that distinctive flavour but burst about two; real men must have this so hot, their ears tingle. Add a few drinks of the good old gungus (white rum), for extra kick and serve.
