FRUITS
Apricot
I brushed away two sellers of apricots and spices.
Tribesmen of Gor page 45
Chokecherry
Crushed fruit, usually chokecherries, is then added to the meat. The whole, then, is mixed with, and fixed by, kailiauk fat, subsequently, usually, being divided into small, flattish, rounded cakes. The fruit sugars make this, in its way, a quick energy food, while the meat, of course, supplies valuable, long lasting stamina protein.
Blood Brothers of Gor
Dates
The principal export of the oasis are dates, or pressed-date bricks.
Tribesmen of Gor page 37
A veiled woman was hawking dates by the tefa.
Tribesmen of Gor page 46
Ka-la-na Fruit
"Over there," I said, "are some Ka-la-na trees. Wait here and I'll gather some fruit."
Tarnsman of Gor page 96
Larma
The larma is lucious. It has a rather hard shell but the shell is brittle and easily broken. Within, the fleshy endocarp, the fruit, is delicious, and very juicy. Sometimes, when a woman is referred to as a "larma," it is suggested that her hard or frigid exterior conceals a rather different sort of interior, one likely to be quite delicious. Once the shell has been broken through or removed, irrevocably, there is, you see, exposed, soft, vulnerable, juicy and helpless, the interior, in the fruit, the fleshy endocarp, in the woman, the slave.
Renegades of Gor page 437
Melon
"Buy melons!" called a fellow next to her, lifting one of the yellowish, red-striped spheres towards me
Tribesmen of Gor page 45
Peach
Another device, common in Port Kar, is for the girl to kneel before the master and put her head down and lift her arms, offering him fruit, usually a larma or a yellow Gorean peach, ripe and fresh.
Tribesmen of Gor page 27
Pit Fruit
I took a slice of hard larma from my tray. This is a firm, single-seeded, applelike fruit. It is quite unlike the segmented, juicy larma. It is sometimes called, and perhaps more aptly, the pit fruit, because of its large single stone.
Players of Gor page 267
Plums
I had nearly stepped into a basket of plums.
Tribesmen of Gor page 45
Ram-berries
A guard was with us, and we were charged with filling our leather buckets with ram-berries, a small, reddish fruit with edible seeds, not unlike tiny plums, save for the many small seeds.
Captive of Gor page 305
Red olives
Clitus, too, had brought two bottles of Ka-la-na wine, a string of eels, cheese of the Verr, and a sack of red olives from the groves of Tyros.
Raiders of Gor page 114
Ta-Grapes
The grapes were purple and, I suppose, Ta grapes from the lower vineyards of the terraced island of Cos some four hundred pasangs from Port Kar.
Priest Kings of Gor page 45
Tospit
On the back of the kaiila, the black lance in hand, bending down in the saddle, I raced past a wooden wand fixed in the earth, on the top of which was placed a dried tospit, a small, wrinkled, yellowish-white peachlike fruit, about the size of a plum, which grows on the tospit bush, patches of which are indigenous to the drier valleys of the western Cartius. They are bitter but edible.
Nomads of Gor page 59
There are many other fruits on Gor, such as berries, cherries, various grapes, melons, olives, pears, plums, raisins etc though without definitions on all, can only be presumed close to the Earth varieties.
Meats
Bosk
The Wagon Peoples grow no food, nor do they have manufacturing as we know it. They are herders and it is said, killers. They eat nothing that has touched dirt. They live on the meat and milk of the bosk.
Nomads of Gor page 4
Tabuk
and in the same case but in a different corner was a small herd, no more than five adult animals, a proud male and four does, of tabuk, the single-horned, golden Gorean antelope.
Priest Kings of Gor page 191
Tarsk
I thought of the yellow Gorean bread, baked in the shape of round, flat loaves, fresh and hot; my mouth watered for a tabuk steak or, perhaps, if I were lucky, a slice of roast tarsk, the formidable six-tusked wild boar of Gor's temperate forests.
Outlaw of Gor page 76
Tumit
I gathered that the best season for hunting tumits, the large, flightless carnivorous birds of the southern plains, was at hand, for Kamchak, Harold, and others seemed to be looking forward to it with great eagerness.
Nomads of Gor page 2
Verr
The verr was a mountain goat indigenous to the Voltai. It was a wild, agile, ill-tempered beast, long-haired and spiral-horn.
Priest-Kings of Gor page 63
Vulo
She had been carrying a wicker basket containing vulos, domesticated pigeons raised for eggs and meat.
Nomads of Gor page 1
Gant
"I heard a bird, some forty or fifty yards to my right; it sounded like a marsh gant, a small, horned, web-footed aquatic fowl, broad-billed and broad-winged. Marsh girls, the daughters of Rence growers, sometimes hunt them with throwing sticks."
Raiders of Gor page 4
Seafood
Cosian Wingfish
The blue, four-spined wingfish is found only in the waters of Cos. Larger varieties are found farther out to sea. The small blue fish is regarded as a great delicacy, and its liver as the delicacy of delicacies.
Nomads of Gor page 85
Eel
Some of these pools contain voracious eels, of various sorts, river eels, black eels, the spotted eel, and such, which are Gorean delicacies.
Magicians of Gor page 428
Grunts and White-Bellied Grunts
Great Specled - a fish inhabiting the Thassa and caught as food for sailors.
Slave Girl of Gor page 360
"Three other men of the Forkbeard attended to fishing, two with a net, sweeping it along the side of the serpent, for parsit fish, and the third, near the stem, with a hook and line, baited with vulo liver, for the white-bellied grunt.
Marauders of Gor page 59
Oysters
Other girls had prepared the repast, which, for the war camp, was sumptuous indeed, containing even oysters from the delta of the Vosk, a portion of the plunder of a tarn caravan of Ar, such delicacies having been intended for the very table of Marlenus, the Ubar of that great city itself.
Captive of Gor page 301
Parsit Fish
The Parsit current is the main eastward current above the polar basin. It is called the parsit current for it is followed by several varieties of migrating parsit, a small, narrow, usually striped fish.
Beasts of Gor page 38
Sorp
Sorp is a shellfish, common esp. in the Vosk river, similar to an oyster; like an oyster, it manufactures pearls. Often used in making soups and stews.
Nomads of Gor page 20
White Grunt Eggs
Before each guest there were tiny slices of tospit and larma, small pastries, and in a tiny golden cup, with a small golden spoon, the clustered black tiny eggs of the white grunt.
Fighting Slave of Gor page 276
There are also many other types of seafood on Gor, shark, crayfish etc. Once again without definitions, can only be assumed to be like Earth varieties.
Dairy
Arctic Gant Eggs
I stepped aside to let a young girl pass, who carried two baskets of eggs, those of the migratory artic gant. They nest in the mountains of the Hrimgar and in steep, rocky outcroppings, called bird cliffs, found here and there jutting out of the tundra. The bird cliffs doubtless bear some geological relation to the Hrimgar chains. When such eggs are frozen they are eaten like apples.
Beasts of Gor page 196
Butter
Churned from Bosk or Verr milk.
Olga, he said, there is butter to be churning in the churning shed.Yes, my Jarl, said she, holding her skirt up, running from the place of our exercises.
Marauders of Gor page 101
Cheese
Made from the milk of the Bosk or Verr.
The Tarn Keeper, who was called by those in the tavern Mip, bought the food, bosk steak and yellow bread, peas and Torian olives, and two golden-brown, starchy Suls, broken open and filled with melted bosk cheese.
Assassin of Gor page 168
Clitus, too, had brought two bottles of Ka-la-na wine, a string of eels, cheese of the Verr and a sack of red olives from the groves of Tyros.
Raiders of Gor page 114
Vulo Eggs
Soon, I smelled the frying of vulo eggs in a large, flat pan.
Slave Girl of Gor page 73
Soups/Porridge
BondMaid Gruel
Another of the bond-maids was then freed to mix the bond-maid gruel, mixing fresh water with Sa-Tarna meal, and then stirring in the raw fish.
Marauders of Gor page 63
Sullage
First she boiled and simmered a kettle of Sullage, a common Gorean soup consisting of three standard ingredients and, as it is said, whatever else may be found, saving only the rocks of the field. The principal ingredients of Sullage are the golden Sul, the starchy, golden-brown, vine-borne fruit of the golden-leaved Sul plant; the curled, red, ovate leaves of the Tur-pa, a tree parasite, cultivated in host orchids of Tur trees; and the salty, blue secondary roots of the Kes Shrub, a small, deeply rooted plant which grows best in sandy soil.
Priest-Kings of Gor page 45
Vegetables
Note: Remember, Tuchuks eat nothing from the ground so when practising your serving skills pay close attention to where the one you are serving is "from"
Beans, Carrots, Katch, Kes, Kort, Onions, Radishes
At the oasis will be grown a hybrid; brownish Sa-Tarna, adapted to the heat of the desert; most Sa-Tarna is yellow; and beans, berries, onions, tuber suls, various sorts of melons, a foliated leaf vegetable, called Katch, and various root vegetables, such as turnips, carrots, radishes, of the sphere and cylinder varieties, and korts, a large, brownish-skinned, thick-skinned, sphere-shaped vegetable, usually some six inches in width, the interior of which is yellowish, fibrous and heavily seeded.
Tribesmen of Gor page 37
Corn, Pumpkins, Squash
Many of the tribes permit small agricultural communities to exist within their domains, she said. The individuals in these communities are bound to the soil and owned collectively by the tribes within whose lands they are permitted to live. They grow produce for their masters such as wagmeza and wagmu, maize or corn, and such things as pumpkins and squash.
Savages of Gor page 233
Garlic, Peas, Turnips
I have peas and turnips, garlic and onions in my hut, said the man, his bundle like a giant's hump on his back.
Outlaw of Gor page 29
Mushrooms
"Have a stuffed mushroom."
Mercenaries of Gor page 81
Peppers
Some of the peppers and spices, relished even by children in the Tahari districts, were sufficient to convince an average good fellow of Thentis or Ar that the roof of his mouth and his tongue were being torn out of his head
Tribesmen of Gor page 47
Sul
The sul is a large, thick-skinned, yellow-fleshed, root vegetable. It is very common on this world. There are a thousand ways in which it is prepared. It is fed even to slaves. I had had some at the house; narrow, cooked slices, smeared with butter, sprinkled with salt, fed to me by hand."
Dancer of Gor page 80
Sul paga is, when distilled, though the Sul itself is yellow, as clear as water. The Sul is a tuberous root of the Sul plant; it is a Gorean staple.
Slave girl of Gor page 134
Sa-Tarna
Yellow grain. Can be brewed into Paga and also ground to make Sa-Tarna Bread.
The bread is a rounded, flat loaf that is yellow in color.
Also has a brownish hybrid, grown in the Tahari and able to withstand hotter temperatures. Other grains are available on Gor, a cheaper variety is used to make Black Bread and is common of the lower castes.
Economically, the base of the Gorean life was the free peasant, which was perhaps the lowest but undoubtedly the most fundamental caste, and the staple crop was a yellow grain called Sa-Tarna, or Life Daughter.
Tarnsman of Gor page 43
I thought of the yellow Gorean bread, baked in the shape of round, flat loaves, fresh and hot.."
Outlaw of Gor page 76
The great merchant galleys of Port Kar, and Cos, and Tyros, and other maritime powers, utilized thousands of such miserable wretches, fed on brews of peas and black bread, chained in the rowing holds, under the whips of slave masters, their lives measured by feedings and beatings and the labor of the oar.
Hunters of Gor page 13
Other Foods
Candies
He yelled something raucous and ribald. It had to do with tastas or stick candies. These are not candies, incidentally, like sticks, as for example, licorice or peppermint sticks, but soft, rounded, succulent candies, usually covered with a coating of syrup or fudge, rather in the nature of the caramel apple, but much smaller, and, like a caramel apple, mounted on sticks. the candy is prepared and the stick, from the bottom, is thrust up, deeply, into it. It is then ready to be eaten.
Dancer of Gor page 81
Honey
"I saw small fruit trees, and hives, where honey bees were raised; and there were small sheds, here and there, with sloping roofs of boards; in some such sheds might craftsmen work, in others fish might be dried or butter made."
Marauders of Gor page 81
Mint Sticks
On the tray too, was the metal vessel which contained black wine, steaming and bitter from far Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, the small yellow-enamled cups from which we had drunk the black wine, its spoons and sugars, a tiny bowl of mint sticks, and the softened, dampened cloths on which we had wiped our fingers.
Explorers of Gor page 10
Nuts
"In the cafes I had feasted well. I had had verr meat, cut in chunks and threaded on a metal rod, with slices of peppers and larma, and roasted; vulo stew with raisins, nuts, onions and honey, a kort with melted cheese and nutmeg; hot bazi tea, sugared, and, later, Turian wine."
Tribesman of Gor page 47
Pastries
"He sat, cross-legged, behind the low table. On It were hot bread, yellow and fresh, hot black wine, steaming, with its sugars, slices of roast bosk, the scrambled eggs of vulos, pastries with creams and custards.
Beasts of Gor page 20
Rence
The plant has many uses besides serving as a raw product in the manufacture of rence paper from the stem the rence growers can make reed boats, sails, mats, cords and a kind of fibrous cloth; further its pith is edible.
Raiders of Gor page 7
In a moment the woman had returned with a double handful of wet rence paste. When fried on flat stones it makes a kind of cake, often sprinkled with rence seeds.
Raiders of Gor page 25
Rice
I went to the side and removed a bowl from its padded, insulating wrap. Its contents were still warm. It was a mash of cooked vulo and rice.
Players of Gor 19
Salts
"Most salt at Klima is white, but certain of the mines deliver red salt, red from ferrous oxide in its composition, which is called the Red Salt of Kasra, after its port of embarkation, at the juncture of the Upper and Lower Fayeen."
Tribesman of Gor page 238
salt, incidentally, is obtained by the men of Torvaldsland, most commonly, from sea water or the burning of sea weed. It is also, however, a trade commodity, and is sometimes taken in raids, the red and yellow salts of the south, some of which I saw on the tables, are not domestic to Torvaldsland."
Marauders of Gor page 186
Sugars
Many varieties though not all described.
She carried a tray, on which were various spoons and sugars. She knelt, placing her tray upon the table. With a tiny spoon, its tip no more than a tenth of a hort in diameter, she placed four measures of white sugar, and six of yellow,in the cup, with two stirring spoons, one for the white sugar, another for the yellow, she stirred the beverage after each measure."
Tribesmen of Gor page 89
"Lola now returned to the small table and, kneeling head down, served us our dessert, slices of tospit, sprinkled with four Gorean sugars.
Rogue of Gor page 132
Spices
"Do you smell it?" asked Ulafi. "Yes," I said. "It is cinnamon and cloves, is it not?" "Yes," said Ulafi, "and other spices, as well."
Explorers of Gor page 98
"Some of the peppers and spices, relished even by the children of the Tahari districts, were sufficient to convince an average good fellow of Thentis or Ar that the roof of the mouth and his tongue were being torn out of his head."
Tribesmen of Gor page 46
In the north generally, mead, a drink made with fermented honey and water, and often spices and such, tends to be favored over paga.
