Mangosteens & a fruity drink!
This entire trip from Malaysia to Singapore to Bali we ate mangosteens EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
We all LOVE this fruit!
That was all too brown for me.
Here is what I know about these offering, every morning Balinese women wake up and before they make breakfast for their family, they sweep up the outside of their homes and put out fresh gifts for the gods. The gifts are always in these little 3 inch baskets - all are made from palm leaves and woven by hand. All baskets are different, many include bits of food or candy, some have cigarettes and all have flowers. As I ask around and learn more about these offerings I found out they are not so much offering for the good gods - they are actually to keep the evil spirits out.
Hubby and I bought one of these (for mere pennies) to put in front of our villa. I don't know about you, but I didn't want the evil spirits entering our villa! :o) When in Bali, do at the Balinese do. :o)
