Although coffee is grown as a cash crop in certain parts of Cameroon, locals more often drink the instant variety. Coffee stalls open up early in the morning, serving locals with bread and fillings for breakfast. Later in the day, tea and green tea are more popular as a hot drink.
Cameroonian cuisine is one of the most varied in Africa due to its location on the crossroads between the north, west, and centre of the continent; added to this is the profound influence of French food, a legacy of the colonial era.
There are various festivals in Cameroon that are celebrated with enthusiasm! Some of the important festivals in Cameroon are Ngondo Festival, Nyem-Nyem Annual Festival and Medumba Festival apart from the usual ones like New Year’s Day, Labour Day and Easter including some of the local events like Youth Day on February 11, National Day on May 20 and Sheep Festival on August 15.
