On Bali, the food is just as delicious as in the rest of Indonesia, but there are some differences. Half of the population is Hindu, whereas in the rest of Indonesia, the majority is Muslim. Therefore, eating pork is not a problem, even though Hindu priests are not supposed to eat either pork of beef. You see the signs everywhere, advertising the popular dish "Babi Guling" (roast suckling pig).
The goddess Dewi Sri , the partner of the Hindu god Vishnu, is the special goddess of rice in Bali. The food is generally seen as a blessing from the Gods and therefore, offerings are given all through the food chain, from the payers at the temple at rice field level, to the throwing of cooked food before eating. In Bali, the most famous dish is "nasi campur", mixed rice, which consists of rice with several side dishes and sambal, usually packed in banana leaves. The dish, which is called gado gado in the rest of Indonesia, is called Jukut Pecel in Bali. More famous Balinese recipes here are Satay Lilit and Bebek Betutu (duck in banana leaves).
