Missionary friends of ours recently took us to lunch.  A Cameroonian lady from their church recently opened a restaurant a brief walk from Shiloh.  While we were vaguely aware that this new business was there, we rarely if ever have extra money laying around for eating out.

In well under five minutes, our leisurely walk ended on the small veranda of the new establishment.  Three tables seating four each were set up there.  While we didn't attempt to go inside, surely there must have been other tables there, too.  The owner came out to greet us and tell us the only menu item for the day.  She sometimes serving Cameroonian spaghetti (which is an oily version of Italian spaghetti), but her specialty is bush meat.  We landed on antelope day.  Though it could have been wild pig, snake, monkey, a nearly extinct type of anteater, or a whole list of other delicacies.  

We are happy to report that the tomato based sauce and the meat were delicious.  It was served with a plate of Cameroonian sweet potatoes.  On other days she might serve rice, or plantains, or various root type vegetables whose names I forget.  The serving size was generous and the price was reasonable.  

Our friend's intention was to introduce us to this restaurant so we could start advertising for their friend, the owner.  And we are happy to do that.  It is not uncommon for our Cameroonian guests at Shiloh to ask for recommendations where they can buy some food.  Will we eat there again?  Probably not.  Though if you were to come visit us, we would be delighted to treat you to a taste of bush meat in all it's variety.
