Cameroon Omelette, Bread and Tea
Kumba bread is one of the staple bread consumed in the Southwest Region of Cameroon. It is commonly sold by street vendors along inter-city roads and purchased by travelers to present as gifts when visiting family members and friends. Kumba bread is eaten in a variety of ways. My best is when it's served with sardine omelette and a cup of peak milk and ovaltine (what I call African Tea lololol). The holiday season is here and families are preparing to gather to celebrate the joy of the season. I am very sure there will be Kumba bread in many homes in Cameroon. If you are in the United States, I can make a guess that Kumba Bread is on your grocery list. Kumba bread is soft, fluffy, sweet with a butter flavor. History records that the bread originated from Nigeria in a Town called Agege (Agege Bread as it's called in Nigeria). The bread has now become a staple food in many West African countries. This breakfast recipe will give your family members a gourmet experience like no other. The combination of Kumba/ Agege bread and omelette will bring your taste buds to life. Cook along with me as we go on a culinary journey to explore Cameroonian cuisine.
