In the Cameroonian tradition, mostly everything related to preparing and cooking the food is done by women. They have the task of organizing the meals of the day according to their husband’s preferences and with the financial possibilities of the household. A good Cameroonian wife should know how to cook delicious meals using whatever ingredients are at hand. People of Cameroon consider food essential to hospitality and go out of their way to feed a guest, even if they have very little to offer. There is a great difference between the dishes served in the rural parts and the urban cities of Cameroon. In the larger cities, such as Douala and Yaounde, there are many restaurants where talented chefs offer a wide variety of western dishes, including Chinese and Indian, combined with traditional dishes such as Groundnuts Sauce with Meat, Nnam Owondo (a laborious dish made from shrimps, groundnut and pepper) or Ground Plantain with Beans and Palm Oil. Cameroonian food includes many fruits and vegetables, as well as grilled fish, fufu, endole and cassava. Cameroon is known for having some of the best food in Central Africa. Sauces are usually accompanied by rice or a thick mashed potato-like substance that comes in three main forms: couscous, pae, or fufu, any of which can be made from rice, corn, manioc, plantains, or bananas.
