Apparently the people of Cameroon eat a lot of this stuff called fufu. Fufu is a chunky mushed up thick dough-like substance made from flour, the cassava plant, and yams. It is often accompanied with peanut soup, which is a common dish in Cameroon.

Mexico
It seems like Mexican people traditionally have a strong taste for exotic fruits, particularly mangos and avocados.
Chile
My research suggested that a lot of traditional Chilean recipes are very tomato based and tend to be quite spicy. Chilli and Tomato seems appropriate given the name of the country.
Columbia
A popular traditional dessert in Columbia is a thing called cocadas blancas, which are coconut flavoured sweets with sugar and cinnamon. They sound really like a really interesting thing to turn into a pancake topping.

Ivory Coast
Ivorian people traditionally have a slice of melon with lime juice for dessert because of how refreshing and juicy it is compared to how dry the rest of their food generally is.
Uruguay
There's a traditional Uruguayan dessert called chaja, which is a plain sponge cake topped with whipped cream, peaches and crushed meringue. Sounds like an interesting concept.

Costa Rica
It seems to me that Costa Rican desserts are all very concentrated with sugar, and I didn't find a single Costa Rican dessert that had any mention of fruit, the closest thing to this I found was orange peel. Because of this treacle and orange peel seemed and appropriate topping to represent the sugary nature of their desserts.
