Ideas for a Cameroon Themed Football Party
Sharing food and having meals together is very important in the culture of Cameroon, so if you're
throwing a Cameroon-themed football party, food needs to be on the agenda!
On important celebrations or when guests visit a goat, chicken, sheep or cow will
be killed, cooked and shared. Meat is either cooked in a stew, or barbecued on skewers over an open fire, but a barbecue is a good substitute!

Food for a Cameroon Themed Party
The cuisine of Cameroon is one of the most varied in Africa. Staple foods in Cameroon include cassava, yam, rice, plantain, potato, maize, beans, and millet, but some are more popular in
certain regions than others.
A typical main meal consists of rice, mashed potato, cassava or couscous served with a stew or soup. Vegetables such as spinach, onion, tomatoes, peppers and squashes are common,
and dishes are flavoured with peanuts, chillies and ginger. There is a large variety of different fruits grown in Cameroon, including bananas, citrus fruits, pineapple, mangoes and grapes.

Drink for a Cameroon Themed Party
Locally produced alcohol is made from the available produce. Wine made from the fermented sap of palm trees, and beer made from millet are therefore the most widely available alcoholic drinks.
