[@seraphinndefosso7618]

Hi Dave happy to see you enjoying my lovely country just a quick question how much and where did you rent your car?

[@rosyandfamily4006]

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.

[@theeuropeandream2185]

Fun fan the smoked fish is not meant to be a snack or street food. It inly makes sense when added to a soup😂😂😂

[@DaveMani]

I was told after the fact... 🤣

[@habibak.6234]

​@DaveMan I feel sorry for you but can't help 😂😂😂!

[@ekenuayakoendali9668]

7:20 you had there bitter cola. I hope you took some along with you. It is a very powerful nut. Try doing some research on it. A real gem with a lot of health benefits. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Cameroon.

[@DaveMani]

Very powerful indeed! Hahaha

[@brigittejessica5349]

True

[@juniornfor9736]

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!

[@codernelly34]

correct 👍👍

[@DaveMani]

Yeah I was told after the fact haha. The seller only said they were very tasty! :P

[@DaveMani]

yup :)

[@kansee1319]

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!!

[@ayeahmichael]

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.

[@freementalmotivation5302]

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

[@DaveMani]

Yeah, we know that now! loll

[@kingus1149]

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 🇨🇩

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Cola nut. 500 CFA is about US$1 ??? that's what it was 42 years ago too. However a bottle of beer was perhaps 300 to 500 CFA only. A decent room for a night was only 1500 CFA and a really good one (for there) was 5000 CFA. No huge multinational hotel chains back then. Fully air con hotels were almost non existent. The 5000 CFA per night were with in window A/C. Considering that my salary in Nigeria was about US $10 a day ($300 per month) I couldn't afford the A/C rooms very much.

[@ProphetKingsleyNdikum]

i am impress seeing this video of my country Cameroon God bless you guys and the nut you got is call BITTER KOLLA

[@DaveMani]

Thanks a lot! It was a super fun trip. 👍🏼

[@tiwofrancis6707]

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.

[@DaveMani]

I was told about the medicinal benefits after the fact haha. It was sold to me as a snack...

[@freementalmotivation5302]

You made me travel this morning thanks Dave❤🎉

[@DaveMani]

Wonderful!

[@fonanjei6939]

The bitter stuff is called bitter cola. Very good for the health. Used for medicinal purpose.

[@DaveMani]

Aaah make sense!

[@geronimepouandeu1095]

Bitter cola is good for stomach.

[@geronimepouandeu1095]

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

[@minicitekedioh6132]

Those nuts are called bitter cola. It doesn't taste so great but it's not meant to be eaten as snacks. It's eaten in Cameroon mostly while traveling as a detoxifier, really useful if you want to prevent stomach issues. It's also really medicinal

[@ashleyleale6703]

We don't eat that fish way, we cook it in a stew before eating. What you ate at the seventh minute of the video is called "bitter cola" in fact we cannot really call it a street food, its like a natural medicine very good for health. We usually eat it when we have stomach ache from eating food difficult to digestion... We also eat it to calm down hunger. In fact it is a great natural medicine that's why the taste sour! I mean medicine is not meant to be sweet to the tongue!😅

[@DaveMani]

Yeah... We did not know that at the time... 😅

[@Panucci75]

⁠ 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 🇨🇲.
