Bobolo is Cameroon's cassava stick. Peeled roots soak in water for several days until soft, then the core is pulled out, the flesh is pressed and pounded, and the paste is rolled into thin sticks, tied in leaves and steamed. It is sold ready to eat with fish, meat or sauce.

At a glance
Bobolo is Cameroon's cassava stick. Peeled roots soak in water for several days until soft, then the core is pulled out, the flesh is pressed and pounded, and the paste is rolled into thin sticks, tied in leaves and steamed. It is sold ready to eat with fish, meat or sauce. Made in 4 steps over 3.1 days – 5.1 days. The longest step, peel, wash and soak the roots, takes 3–5 days (Savoura A. 2013).
Bobolo is ground and steamed in leaves after soaking, so it is sold ready to eat, unlike kumkum flour or wet water fufu. Congolese chikwangue is boiled once or twice in its leaves, while the home recipe steams bobolo once.
Miondo (Douala)Thinner flat sticks about 1 cm wide and 25 cm long, made by crushing the paste less. At a Douala market it is sold uncooked for cooking at home.
Safety
Raw or under-soaked cassava can cause cyanide poisoning, and we found no cyanide figure for bobolo. An FAO overview reports that a 3-day soak cut cyanide by 70–95 %, and FAO calls a 4-hour soak ineffective, so do not shorten the soak. Yaoundé market bobolo carried Salmonella, Vibrio cholerae, coagulase-positive staphylococci and E. coli. For fully cooked ready-to-eat foods the study cites an acceptable bacterial count of under 5 log10 CFU/g, and market bobolo was above it (aerobic count 6.15 log10 CFU/g).
Hazards the sources name: Salmonella spp. (6.11 log10 CFU/g), Vibrio cholerae (6.29 log10 CFU/g), coagulase-positive staphylococci, Bacillus cereus, E. coli and coliforms in market samples.
