Eating The BEST & WORST Street Food Of Cameroon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- While driving from Kribi to Yaoundé in Cameroon, we decided to say YES to every single street food vendor selling along the road. From sardine sandwich to smoked fish, sugary drink, peanuts and more and bought ALL THE SNACKS we saw on our road trip along the Cameroonian roads.
It all started with wonderful beignets we found while still in Kribi. From there I met a wonderful "African Mama" making sandwich on the side of the road. Those were made on demand with a fresh baguette, some sardine, eggs and peppery sauce. A bit fishy tasting but not bad at all. Tracey was not that excited about trying the famous smoked Fish you can find all around Kribi Town but we had to after seeing where its from and how it's made. Otherwise, from peanuts to plantain chips and Cameroonian chocolate, we tried it ALL!

Hi Dave happy to see you enjoying my lovely country just a quick question how much and where did you rent your car?
bitter cola is one of the best things you bought. you peal it first before eating either way eating with skin is ok too. is medicine, especially it can help for stomach ache, cold etc you should eat one daily.
Fun fan the smoked fish is not meant to be a snack or street food. It inly makes sense when added to a soup😂😂😂
I was told after the fact... 🤣
The bitter stuff(”Bitter Colanut” is the name) you eat is a very powerful medication there in Cameroon. It's like a first aid box, if you have any health issue like stomach ache, vomiting, etc… just eat half of it and in less than 5 minutes you'll come back. Let me not talk about when you mix it with some other herbs, the combo is great! I enjoy your videos so much!
correct 👍👍
Yeah I was told after the fact haha. The seller only said they were very tasty! :P
yup :)
Dans le soda Coca Cola, Cola est pour la noix de Colas (rouge)! Donc le coca cola est un mélange de coca (la feuille) et de cola (la noix)
Let me also add that it enhances your sexual intensity. Very popular in Central and West Africa!!
I had to watch these Cameroon videos after Dave mentioned that people are not interested in them kkkk
Thanks man! :p
Il faut reconnaître que les dirigeants du Cameroun 🇨🇲 ont beaucoup a donné en terme d'infractions
Si non le pays a un grand potentiel touristique
Je vous propose de faire un tour au grand nord du pays : Parc , savane, gorges ...
vraiment MERCI du fait que vous vous intéressez au Cameroun malgré sa situation
Le potentiel du tourisme au Cameroun est immense en effet.
Surtout savoir il fait chaud de ce côté à léxtreme
You guys are crazy. 300kms and you've tasted almost every food by the road.
Things you do for adventure and our eyes! Merci.
Haha it was a great time :p
So happy to know that you guys have been in my lovely country Cameroon ❤
And we had a great time too :!
Your street food reviews of Cameroon is very interesting. I can basically you guys are foodies. I like it.
Happy to hear that!
How do you eat smoked fish like that? Lol.
It is called "bitter cola", I also hate the pungent smell and terrible taste, however, they say it is very healthy.
bitter cola, also known as bitter kola or Garcinia kola, is a fruit-bearing tree native to West and Central Africa, including Cameroon. The bitter cola nut is often used in traditional medicine and is known for its bitter taste and potential health benefits. It's sometimes chewed or used to make extracts for various medicinal purposes due to its supposed medicinal properties, such as improving digestion and acting as an aphrodisiac.
I was told about the medicinal benefits after the fact haha. It was sold to me as a snack...
The black bitter nut is called Bita cola. I too sell that😂 its bitter but we like it and it somehow prevent stomach aches and vomits
Yeah, we know that now! loll
Bita cola=Bitter Cola (because there is a different one less bitter than this one). If you consume it regularly, it hard to be KO by malaria. Very popular for the fact in Congo 🇨🇩
Happy birthday Dave Mani. Wish you all the best in 2024.
Thank you so much John!
I would live in Cameroon any day; I am impressed
Its a fun time! :D
You lying
@@akemegbebu7807 again am not lying: I actually loved it more while Itchy boots was touring
@@africareign You love it on the internet. I ve lived there for 6 years... That's not the place you'll like to spend your time. Respectfully.
@@akemegbebu7807 everything seems good to me: the food, rivers, nature I just think it's amazing (haven't seen the any negative yet)
🙌🏼🙌🏼happy wednesday! love this
Same to you
The weird nut was cola nut. It's very butter. It has some benefits for health but don't remember them.
Noted :)
Thank you so much Dvae for showcasing my lovely country to the world. I'm glad you enjoy our food, and i won't judge you if you didn't like 'bitttercola'. As a Cameroonian I do not like it either.😅
We had a lovely time in Cameroon! :!
You made me travel this morning thanks Dave❤🎉
Wonderful!
It was good having you guys I enjoyed the journey❤❤
Thanks a lot!
Hi there.
A nice completely different Vlog Done completely in a moving car. I loved the content and concept roo.
The dried fish and plantains looked really mouth watering.
Thanks once again.❤
Hey thanks a lot for that :)
Great vlog 😍
Glad you enjoyed
You were definetely duped by the dude that sold you the bitter stuff for 500 francs. This was such a wholesome video. Loved it!
I don't know people are saying that that is the normal price. I mean 500xaf is about $1 so... 👍🏼
It's the actual price for that amount of "Bitter Cola"
That's the price for that that amount , it would have been more quantity if he was in a village village area
@@ProfesionalVideoWatcher that's good to know. I'm loving this series.
@@ProfesionalVideoWatcher exactly
i am impress seeing this video of my country Cameroon God bless you guys and the nut you got is call BITTER KOLLA
Thanks a lot! It was a super fun trip. 👍🏼
Encore une belle vidéo du Cameroun .
Les beignets c'est trop bon 😅 et les autres aussi 😅❤.
J'espère que vous vous êtes bien amuser lors de ce petit Voyage au Cameroun 🇨🇲 et que vous en garderez de bon souvenirs. ❤❤
Merci beaucoup! C'était super de voyager au Cameron! :)
super tasty (when prepared as it should) and very popular in Cameroon: beignets haricots, and add piment, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The bitter nut is actually called bitter kola(gracinia kola) and it has many medicinal properties , i like the fact you decided to visit Cameroon and let the world know more about it😊
Aaaah thanks for the info. 👍🏼
its the "kola" in Coca Cola @@DaveMani
@@novakeng6553no
I enjoyed seeing Cameroon through your eyes
Much appreciated :)
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Thank you, sir and ma'am.
You are very welcome
7:05 Bitter kola is not a snack... I love your videos! I'm a Cameroonian.
So... what is it? :p
The bitter stuff is called bitter cola. Very good for the health. Used for medicinal purpose.
Aaah make sense!
Bitter cola is good for stomach.
Every body who are travelling have to have bitter kola. Because we can have est some thing which is not good for stomach.
Like to ses canadien in my country
Nice one guys
Thank you :)
In the building watching from Baltimore MD 😎😎😎
Thanks a ton man!
I love your videos guys, I watch them as they remind me of home lol. The seed you didn't like is called bitter Kola and it is very very helpful for health issues and always good to have at home. and also I think the price for it was spot on as it tends to be expensive some times. Have fun guys🙂
Fair enough. Make sense that they are some sort of medicine.
@@DaveMani lol medicine?? No together with Guinness its a special mix
I would live video in Cameroon any day I am impressed 👍
Much appreciated friend :)
Hi Dave, Interesting videos from my Country Cameroun 🇨🇲. Just wanted to drop some comments on your experience driving back to Yaoundé. That “Bitter” thing you bought for 500 CFA francs which is the right price by the way, is called “Bitter Kola”, and in some other parts of the world it’s called “Garnicia Kola”. It has a lot of medicinal virtues and one the most popular is male enhanced sex drive, especially when taken with Guinness beer, you’ll be surprised the girlfriend will be asking for more, and I’m not kidding. The other one is preventing you from getting upset stomach. Yes, it has a bitter taste so I would recommend you take it after dinner and or a couple of hours before going to bed. Hope you have a wonderful stay in Cameroon 🇨🇲.
Hey thanks a lot for the info! That's great :)
Back to Kenya l, I love it❤❤❤
We've been already :P
See you guys...in the next one💞
Always! :P
@DaveMani it’s called bitter cola it’s a remedee for stomac pain. And helps in digestion it’s not really a food at all.
Now I know :p
Things you do for adventure and the all the food you ate on your way wow😮 I thought the traffic in Nairobi was crazy but I suppose this is similar in most African countries 💕
Traffic in Cameroon is just a liiiiiittle bit worst! Haha
Especially in Yaounde and Douala @@DaveMani
That bitter nuts is call butter collar, it's like a medicinal nuts helps alot for stomach disorder
Nice :)
the bitter stuff you got is called "biter cola"
Yeah, I didn't know at the time...
Beautiful
Thank you Duwer! :)
I luv bitter kola, i eat it often😊😊
Haha that's great. It's just not for me :p
Salute 💯
Cheers 👍🏼
Happy you were not concerned about the new toll, but more concerned about where the people selling road snack would be 7:50
Yeah! People first :)
@@DaveMani did you make it to North Cameroon -Garoua, Ngoundere or Maroua? Let me know if you need help?
And I haven't seen any video of you in any of the English-speaking regions.
Smoked fish is used in most of our cameroonian dishes. Thats even cheaper right there.😅
I liked it :p
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cheers!
The bitter stuff is called Bitter kola😂 very medicinal
Medicinal more than a snack for sure! Hahaha
This was def interesting, what did you do with 5 smoked fish?
Ate one and gave 4 to a lady who was walking on the side of the road.
Bitter cola !!good for digestive issues
Aaah 👍🏼
We eat smoking fish with sauce. It is like méat. It is good with fried rice
Fair enough :D
Have to peel it off before eating 😂
Aaaah! Make sense
Throw down a beer after chewing a bitter cola.....it'll taste sweet. Crazy but true
Cheers to that! Loll
🙂 looks like bitter cola. you peel it and chew or peel, and wash and chew then swallow. it's very sweet
That's a lot of steps loll
I just ate one 🙂 but I wash them before eating them. is said to be a medicine@@DaveMani
👍
Cheers!
C’est la noix de cola qui est très amère ,askip ça permet une bonne circulation du sang 🩸
Bon a savoir.
The nut is called a bitter cola😊😊
Thanks for that :p
Bitter cola 6:39
It is!
@@DaveMani it tastes bitter, but excellent medicine for the body. The palm wine you had in Yaoundé is taken with bitter cola or with the non-bitter cola. Happy you had fun on the trip. You are a Cameroonian!!!
The nut is caller bitter kola...its used as an aphrodysiac
Ah ok
@@DaveMani so you probably beat your personal record that evening
It's called bitter cola.
Very medicinal.
Aaah... Well it tasted medicinal as well loll.
You're so funny lol@@DaveMani
Forget about the food , let's talk about how you traveled from Kribi to yaounde ?. How do you know the area so well?
Google map.
The smoked fish is for cooking food.
I liked it like that tho.
@@DaveMani yes it's cool eating like that too . I'm a Cameroonian in limbe, South West.
The fish you are suppose to cook it with a meal. But is not bad to eat like that
We definitely did NOT know that... hahaha

Why don't you come to the English speaking part of our country Cameroon? 😊
We call that bitter stuff "bitter Cola"
It's meant for old people, I practically hate it
Next time :)
@@DaveMani great
U know, our country is much like Canada in terms of official languages, except English is in the minority here, with just 2 out of 10 Regions
Waiting for stomach update. Tell us how your gut handled it!
