Ande baca’ or the foods that will be read and prayed is a food set (offerings) that is a compliment in the ‘tola bala’ ritual, thanksgiving ritual, etc., held by Mandar society, in West Sulawesi.  The foods usually consist of; ‘sokkol’ (lemang/sticky rice), ‘buras’ (lapat/rice cooked with coconut milk), ‘ketupat’, boiled egg, chicken curry, ‘cucur’ (made from fried rice flour and red sugar), various kinds of banana, etc. However, Ande Baca has changed nowadays. It means, that the people’s behavior has different in holding the ritual, they don’t prepare the various offering (Ande Baca) completely for another food alternative, until the way to serve the Ande Baca. This paper tries to find out how the Ande Baca compromise faces various problems, from social, cultural, and surrounding sides. This qualitative research gathered the data through discussion, documentation, interview, observation, and looking for information from the various additional literature such as books, journals, etc. The analysis of Ande Baca will be based on Turner's and Durkheim's ritual and social politics theories. In summary, Ande Baca will come last after it has compromised with the change. By allowing other factors to enter, the original Ande Baca will remain alive, allowing the Mandar ritual as a tradition to be maintained.
