The Wagon Peoples exist almost solely upon it. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Nomads of Gor, page 4 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Tabuk</B>: Golden Gorean one-horned antelope. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Priest Kings of Gor, page 191 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Tarsk</B>: Similar to the boar, of earth, its meat is eaten in various ways, normally roasted or baked, sometimes whole. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Outlaw of Gor, page 76 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Tumit</B>: A large, flightless, carnivorous bird hunted with bolas by the Wagon Peoples. The sport lies in who gets to eat that night, the hunter or the bird. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Nomads of Gor, page 2 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Verr</B>: A mountain goat raised for wool, meat and milk. </div> <bR> <div> The verr was a mountain goat indigenous to the Voltai. It was a wild, agile, ill-tempered beast, long-haired and spiral-horn. </div> <div> Priest-Kings of Gor, page 63 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Vulo</B>: A domesticated pigeon, raised both for its meat and for the eggs it lays. </div> <bR> <div> She had been carrying a wicker basket containing vulos, domesticated pigeons raised for eggs and meat. </div> <div> Nomads of Gor, page 1 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Fish/Seafood Eel</B>: Various types of eel are raised on Gor to be consumed. Many types are considered to be a delicacy. </div> <bR> <div> Some of these pools contain voracious eels, of various sorts, river eels, black eels, the spotted eel, and such, which are Gorean delicacies. </div> <div> Magicians of Gor, page 428 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Sorp</B>: A type of shellfish </div> <bR> <div> "they are propbably false stones," I said, "amber droplets, the pearls of the Vosk sorp, the polished shell fo the Tamber clam, glas colored and cut in Ar fo rtrade with ignorant southern peoples." </div> <div> Nomads of Gor, page 20 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Wingfish</B>: A small blue four-spined fish, about the size of a tarn disk when curled in one's hand, it has three or four poisonous spines on its dorsal fin. It is regarded as a delicacy, its liver the delicacy of delicacies. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Nomads of Gor, page 85</div> <bR> <div> <B>Biscuits</B>: Flat pressed biscuits baked from Sa-Tarna flour </div> <bR> <div> Grunt, from his own stores, brought forth some dried, pressed biscuits, baked in Kailiauk from Sa-Tarna flour. </div> <div> Savages of Gor, page 328 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Salt, Red</B>: Known as the "Red Salt of Kasra" it contains ferrous oxide which gives it its color. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Tribesmen of Gor, page 238 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Salt, White</B>: Untainted Sea Salt. The main type of salt found at the salt mine of Klima. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Tribesmen of Gor, page 238 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Salt, Yellow</B>: A table salt mentioned and spoken of as "of the south" but not otherwise described. </div> <bR> <div> It had been expected, I gathered, that I would sit at one of the two long side tables, and perhaps even below the bowls of red and yellow salt which divided these tables. </div> <div> Assassin of Gor, page 86 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Sa-Tarna Bread</B>: Bread baked from Sa-Tarna grain. It is yellowish in color and usually split into eight divisions. It is baked as a round flat loaf. </div> <bR> <div> Then, while the other fellow took his place on the wagon box and started the ponderous draft beast into motion, he gave me two generous pieces of bread, two full wedges of Sa-Tarna bread, a fourth of a loaf. Such bread is usually baked in round, flat loaves, with eight divisions in a loaf. Some smaller loaves are divided into four divisions. </div> <div> Kajira of Gor, page 216 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Sa-Tarna Grain</B>: A yellowish grain that forms a staple of the Gorean diet. </div> <bR> <div> Far to my left, I saw a splendid field of Sa-Tarna, bending beautifully in the wind, that tall yellow grain that forms a staple of the Gorean diet. </div> <div> Outlaw of Gor, page 19 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Sugar</B>: There are various colors of sugars, though their flavors are never spoken of. There is specifically mentioned four Gorean sugars though only two, white and yellow, are ever mentioned by color. </div> <bR> <div> Lola now returned to the small table and, kneeling, head down, served us our dessert, slices of tospit, sprinkled with four Gorean sugars. </div> <div> Rogue of Gor, page 132 </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Tribesmen of Gor, page 89 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Tasta</B>: Small, round, succulent candy coated in syrup or fudge and then mounted upon a stick for easy handling and eating. Literal translation is "stick candy." </div> <bR> <div> 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 in a coating of syrup or fudge, rather in the nature of the caramel apple, but much smaller, and, like the caramel apple, mounted on sticks. The candy is prepared and then the stick, from the bottom, is thrust up, deeply, into it. It is then ready to be eaten. </div> <div> Dancer of Gor, page 81</div> <bR> <div> <B>Larma</B>: A brittle, hard-shelled fruit, the fleshy endocarp being very sweet and juicy. Women are sometimes referred to as larma as under their frigid exteriors, it is said, they are sweet and juicy. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Renegades of Gor, page 437</div> <bR> <div> <B>Ta-Grapes</B>: Purple grapes grown on the terraces of Cos. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Priest Kings of Gor, page 45 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Tospit</B>: Bitter but edible peachlike fruit about the size of a plum. It is yellowish-white in color. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Nomads of Gor, page 59 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Bazi Tea</B> </div> <div> A popular drink in the Tahari and several other select areas, it is drunk in three tiny cups, heavily sugared. Brewed fresh from bazi tea leaves, we can assume the tea itself to be quite strong. </div> <bR> <div> Tea is extremely important to the nomads. It is served hot and heavily sugared. It gives them strength then, in virture of the sugar, and cools them, by making them sweat as well as stimulating them. It is drunk three small cups at a time, carefully measured. </div> <div> Tribesmen of Gor, page 38 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Blackwine</B></div> <div> Brewed from blackwine beans grows primarily in Thentis, this drink is rather expensive due to limited trading of the product. This drink is served hot and is very similar to Earthen coffee though is much stronger. Normally served with sugars and creams. If served 'second slave' it is served black with no sweeteners. </div> <bR> <div> On the tray, too was the metal vessel which had contained the black wine, steaming and bitter, from far Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, the small yellow-enameled 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. </div> <div> Explorers of Gor, page 10 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Ka-la-na </B></div> <div> A full bodied wine distilled from the fruit of the ka-la-na tree. It is red in color and can be served cold warm or even hot (as is prefered in Treve). The best and sweetest comes from the Plains of Ka-la-na and the most famous bottlers of this wine are from Glorious Ar. This drink can symbolize romantic love. </div> <bR> <div> I went to his locker near the mat and got out his Ka-la-na flask, taking a long draught myself and then shoving it into his hands. He drained the flask in one drink and wiped his hand across his beard, stained with the red juice of the fermented drink. </div> <div> Tarnsman of Gor, page 168 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Kal-da</B></div> <div> A hot drink, almost scalding, made from citrus juice, cheap kalana and stinging spices. This is a rather cheap drink through it will get you drunk... sooner or later.. and can be considered quite good atleast until you reach the bottom of the pot. </div> <bR> <div> Kal-da is a hot drink, almost scalding, made of diluted Ka-la-na wine, mixed with citrus juices and stinging spices. </div> <div> Outlaw of Gor, page 76 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Larma Juice </B></div> <div> This is one of the many types of fruit juices available on Gor. Served cool and at times sold from stands to passing travelers within or around a city. </div> <bR> <div> I purchased some larma juice for a tarsk bit. "Is it cool," I asked. "Yes," she said. </div> <bR> <div> Mercenaries of Gor, pg 257 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Mead</B></div> <div> Fermented with honey, this sweet drink is popular among those in Torvaldsland and other outlying areas. Traditionally served in a drinking horn. </div> <bR> <div> "Here Jarl," said Thyri, again handing me the horn. It was filled with the mead of Torvaldsland, brewed from fremented honey, think and sweet. </div> <bR> <div> Marauders of Gor, page 90 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Milk </B></div> <div> Three types of milk are mentioned within the books. Bosk milk which is thick and sweet, verr milk which is much like goat milk and sand kaiila milk which is redish colored and very salty. </div> <bR> <div> "...the suckling of the young in the sand kalila is a valuable trait in the survival of the animal; kaiila milk, which is used , like verr milk, by the peoples of the Tahari, is reddish, and has a strong, salty taste; it contains much ferrous sulphate; a similar difference between the two animals, or two the sorts of kaiila, is that the sand kiila is omnivorous, whereas the southern kaiila is strictly carnivorus. both have storage thissues; if necessary, both can go several days without water; the southern kaiila also, however, has a stroage sotmeach and can go several days witout meat; the sand kaiila,... </div> <div> Tribesman of Gor; page 71 </div> <bR> <div> "By one fire I could see a squat Tuchuk, hands on hips, dancing and stamping about by himself, drunk on fermented milk curds, dancing, according to Kamchak, to please the Sky." </div> <div> page 28, Nomads of Gor </div> <bR> <div> The Wagon Peoples grow no food, nor do they have manufacturing as we know it. They are herders a, and it is said, killers. They eat nothing that has touched the dirt. They live on the meat and milk of the bosk. They are among the proudest peoples on Gor, regarding the dwellers of the cities of Gor as vermin in holes, cowards who must fly behind walls, wretches who fear to live beneath the broad sky, who dare not dispute them the open, windswept plains of their world. </div> <div> page 5; Nomads of Gor </div> <bR> <div> <B>Paga </B></div> <div> (lit. Pagar sa Tarna which translates as Pleasure of the Life Daughter) A grain based alcohol, fermented from sa-tarna, it is normally served slightly warm and is a light golden color. Rather similar to sour-mash liquor in the way it is produced, it sometimes symbolizes physical love. </div> <bR> <div> I decided, if worse came to worst, that I could always go to a simple Paga Tavern where, if those of Tharna resembled those of Ko-ro-ba and Ar, one might, curled in a rug behind the low tables, unobtrusively spend the night for the price of a pot of Paga, a strong, fermented drink brewed from the yellow grains of Gor's staple crop, sa-Tarna, or Life-Daughter. </div> <div> From Outlaw of Gor, page 74 </div> <div> <B>Turian Liquor</B></div> <div> Thick sweet liquors, served in tiny glasses, rather like the dessert wines of Earth. Turian liquors are said to be some of the best liquors on Gor. </div> <bR> <div> She picked up the small tray from the stand near the table. On it was the small vessel containing a thick, sweet liqueur from distant Turia, the Ar of the south, and the two tiny glasses from which we had sipped it. </div> <div> Exlporers of Gor, page 10 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Turian Wine </B></div> <div> Thick syrupy wines, flavored and sugared to the point where one could almost leave their fingerprint upon the surface of the drink. It is a very acquired taste. </div> <bR> <div> I did not much care for the sweet, syrupy wines of Turia, flavored and sugared to the point where one could almost leave one's fingerprint on their surface. </div> <div> Nomads of Gor, page 83-84 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Bosk Cheese</B>: Quite simply, cheese made from the milk of the bosk. Has a lighter taste than verr cheese. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Assassin of Gor, page 168 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Verr Cheese</B>: See verr </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Vulo Eggs</B>: See Vulo </div> <bR> <div> SERVING TIPS</div> <bR> <div> Blackwine: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >urth coffee (smuggled from earth) expensive drink also grown in thentis mountains.</FONT></div> <div> Needed: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >tray, small blackwine cup, small saucers of white and yellow sugars, real and powdered bosk milk</FONT></div> <div> Serve: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >get all utensils and supplies from bar, then fill from the firepit the cup with the hot blackwine, kneel before the person and ask if they wish sugars and or either of the bosk milks add the sugars and powdered bosk milk, then offer it up to them </FONT></div> <bR> <div> Ka-la-na: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >a dry red or BLACK wine, made from the fruit of ka-la-na</FONT></div> <div> Needed: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >ask which is prefered, goblet and a bottle of ka-la-na (sometimes served in botas - skins) </FONT></div> <div> Serve: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >fill the goblet at the Masters feet, then offer it up </FONT></div> <bR> <div> Mulled Ka-la-na: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >Heated ka-la-na, with mulling spices.

A soft cake of this substance was pressed into my hands. I crumbled it. In the winter, of course, such cakes can be frozen solid. One then breaks them into smaller pieces, warms them in one's hands and mouth, and eats them bit by bit. </div> <div> Blood Brothers of Gor, page 46 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Apricot</B>: Not described but presumably similar if not identical to the same fruit found on Earth. It can be found sold in the markets of the Tahari. </div> <bR> <div> I brushed away two sellers of apricots and spices. </div> <div> Tribesmen of Gor, page 45 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Dates </B>: The principal export of the Tahari. sold either by the basket or in pressed-date bricks. </div> <bR> <div> A veiled woman was hawking dates by the tefa. </div> <div> Tribesmen of Gor, page 46 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Ka-la-na Fruit</B>: The red fruit of the Ka-la-na tree.

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. </div> <div> Players of Gor, page 267 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Plums</B>: No description given, presumed similar to earth plums. </div> <bR> <div> I had nearly stepped into a basket of plums. </div> <div> Tribesmen of Gor, page 45 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Ram-berries</B>: Small reddish berries with edible seeds, much like tiny plums excepting the many seeds within. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Captive of Gor, page 305 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Red olives</B>: Grown in Tyros, presumably the same as earth olives. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Raiders of Gor, page 114 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Chocolate </B></div> <div> Warmed chocolate, sugared, is popular in some cities. The cocoa beans originally brought over from the Voyages of Acquisition are now grown in the jungles of Gor themselves. </div> <bR> <div> "This is warmed choclate," I said, pleased. It was very rich and creamy. </div> <div> "yes Mistress," said the girl. </div> <div> "It is very good," I said. </div> <div> "Thank you, Mistress," she said. </div> <div> "is it from Earth?" I asked. </div> <div> "Not directly," shae said. "Many things here, of course, ultimately have an Earth orgin. It is not imporbable that the beans from which the first cacao trees on this world wer grown were brought from Earth." </div> <div> "Do the trees grow near here?" I asked. </div> <div> "No, Mistress," she said. "We obtain the beans, from which the chocolate is made, from Cosian merchants, who, in turn optain them in the tropics." </div> <div> Kajira of Gor; page 61 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Larma Juice </B></div> <div> This is one of the many types of fruit juices available on Gor. Served cool and at times sold from stands to passing travelers within or around a city. </div> <bR> <div> I purchased some larma juice for a tarsk bit. "Is it cool," I asked. "Yes," she said. </div> <bR> <div> Mercenaries of Gor, pg 257 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Rence Beer</B></div> <div> Normally kept in gourd flagons, it is a drink popular with the rence growers who produce it themselves.

It is normall found in peasant villages and is said to be so strong that the babies of peasants born nine months later are born drunk. It is similar to everclear and can be served at any temperature prefered though slightly warm is the standard. </div> <bR> <div> 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. He could have been commenting only on the potentcy of the drink, for Sul paga is almost tasteless. One does not guzzle Sul paga. </div> <div> Slave Girl of Gor, page 134 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Ta Wine </B></div> <div> A wine created from the ta grapes in the vineyards of Cos, it is redish in color (or atleast the grapes themselves are) and normally would then be served at room temperature. </div> <bR> <div> "It was Ta wine, from the Ta grapes of the terraces of Cos...In the last year heavy import duties had been levied by the high council of Vonda against the wines of certain other cities, in particular against the Ka-la-nas of Ar." </div> <div> Fighting Slave of Gor, page 306 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Wine</B></div> <div> There are many types of wine available on Gor. Though not all are specifically mentioned there are various passing references to the varieties of wines served at dinners throughout the books. Therefor hearing someone ask for a 'white wine' or a 'dry red wine' should not cause shock. </div> <bR> <div> "In a Gorean supper in a house of wealth, in the course of the supper, with varied courses, eight to ten wines might be served, each suitably and congruously matched with respect to texture and bouquet not only to one another but to the accompanying portions of food." </div> <div> Fighting Slave of Gor, page 277 </div> <bR> <div> "The first wine, a light white wine, was being deferentially served..." </div> <div> Fighting Slave of Gor, page 276</div> <bR> <div> <B>Arctic Gant Eggs</B>: eggs </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Beasts of Gor, page 196 </div> <bR> <div> <B>White Grunt Eggs</B>: Perhaps comparable to caviar, as they are served with the first course during the dinner along with fruit and pastries. </div> <bR> <div> Before each guests 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. </div> <div> Fighting Slave of Gor, page 276 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Soups/Porridge </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>BondMaid Gruel</B>: a thick greul that of dampened Sa-Tarna meal and raw fish. </div> <bR> <div> 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. </div> <div> Marauders of Gor, page 63 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Slave Porridge</B>: Extremely nourishing though very bland porridge made for consumption by slaves. </div> <bR> <div> I, mixing the water with the precooked meal, formed a sort of cold porridge or gruel. I then, with my fingers, and putting the bowl even to my lips, fell eagerly upon that thick, bland, moist substance. </div> <div> Kajira of Gor, page 257 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Sullage</B>: 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 </div> <bR> <div> 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.
