Staple foods in Cameroon include Cassava , Yam , Rice , Plantain , Potato , Maize , Beans , and Millet . The French introduced French Bread and Italian Pasta , which are not as widely consumed, however, due to their price. The soil of most of the country is very fertile and a wide variety of Vegetables and Fruits , both domestic and imported species, are grown. The main source of protein for most inhabitants is fish, with poultry and meat being too expensive for anything other than special occasions. Bush Meat , however, is commonly consumed, some of the most sought after species being the Pangolin , the Porcupine and the Giant Rat . Unfortunately, there is also a thriving trade in such exotic bush meat species as Chimpanzee and Gorilla . Among Cameroonian specialties are brochettes (a kind of barbecued kebab made from either chicken, beef, or goat), sangah (a mixture of maize, cassava leaf and palmnut juice) and ndoleh (a spicy spinach stew containing meat, shrimp, pork rind and groundnut paste). In the larger cities, however, such as Douala and Yaounde , there are many restaurants offering a wide variety of western dishes, including chinese and indian. There are also numerous burger bars serving american-style fast food. |
