OTHER VARIOUS FOODS of GOR
DAIRY
Butter
We stopped by the churning shed, where Olga, sweating, had finished making a keg
of butter.
[Marauders of Gor p101]
Cheese
Brought 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 p168]
In her hand there was a half of a yellow Gorean pear, the remains of a half moon
of verr cheese imbedded in it.[Explorers of Gor p62]
GRAINS
Biscuits
Grunt, from his own stores, brought forth some dried, pressed biscuits, baked in
Kailiauk from Sa-Tarna flour.
[Savages of Gor p328]
Bread
Their food is that of a galley slave, peas, black bread and onions.[Hunters of Gor p304]
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 p76]
Crackers
It was generally dried fruit, crackers and a bit of salt, to compensate for the
salt loss during the day’s march, consequent on perspiration.[Tribesmen of Gor p267]
Pastries
“I shop for wealthy women,” she said, “for pastries and tarts and cakes - things
they will not trust their female slaves to buy.”
[Nomads of Gor p238]
On the tray were assorted pastries, on the other was a variety of small, spcied
custards.
[Guardsman of Gor p239]
Rence
Cake
In a moment the woman had returned with a double handful of wet rence paste. Wen
fried on flat stones it makes a kind of cake, often sprinkled with rence seeds.
[Raiders of Gor p25]
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 p380]
Slave
Bread
I did not forget the slave, of course. Crusts of bread did I throw to the boards
before her. It was slave bread, rough and coarse-grained.
[Tribesmen of Gor p48]
OTHER - SALTS - SUGARS - SPICES etc:
Chocolate
Tup Ladletender rose to his feet and reached into his pouch. “Here, little vulo,”
he said. He took something from his pouch and thrust it in my mouth, pressing it
between my teeth with his thumb, depositing it in the side of my mouth. I was
startled, kneeling in the dirt at the post, my hands bound about it. “Thank you,
Master,” I said. It was a small, hard candy. It was sweet. I closed my eyes. It
was the first sweet I had had since I had been brought to Gor. In the plain diet
of a slave girl, such things are very precious. Girls would fight and tear at
one another for a chocolate. Confections are commonly used by masters as rewards
in the training and conditioning of their girls. Beyond this they may continue
to function as control devices and incitements. Even a slave girl of many years
never loses her taste for a bit of candy, for which she may have to work for
hours. It is common to give the girl the candy while she is in a kneeling
position, putting it in her mouth for her. On the other hand, in training,
candies are commonly thrown to the girls. Sometimes, too, for the amusement of
the master, candies will be thrown to the floor among several girls, to observe
their struggle to obtain these prizes.
[Slave Girl of Gor p216]
“No, Mistress,” she said. “We obtain the beans, from which the chocolate is
made, from Cosian merchants, who, in turn, obtain them in the tropics.”
[Kajira of Gor p 32]
Cinnamon; Cloves
"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 p 98]
Garlic
“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 p29]
Honey
I saw small fruit trees, and hives, where honey bees were raised;
[Marauders of Gor p81]
Jerky
Strips of kailiauk meat, thinly sliced and dried on poles
in the sun, are pounded fine, almost to a powder. 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. This, like the dried meat, or jerky, from which it is made, can be
eaten either raw or cooked. It is not uncommon for both to be carried in hunting
or on war parties. Children will also carry it in their play. The thin slicing
of the meat not only abets its preservation, effected by time, the wind and sun,
but makes it impractical for flies to lay their eggs in it. Jerky and pemmican,
which is usually eaten cooked in the villages, is generally boiled. In these
days a trade pot or kettle is normally used. In the old days it was prepared by
stone-boiling.[Blood Brothers of Gor p46]
Salt - red
and white
Most salt at Klima is white, but certain of the mines deliver red salt, red from
the 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.
[Tribesmen of Gor p 238]
Salt - red
and yellow
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. The table of Cernus itself, of course, was regarded as being above
the bowls.
[Assassin of Gor p89]
Sea Salt
Salt, incidentally, is obtained by the men of Torvaldsland, most commonly, from
sea water or the burning of seaweed. It is also, however, a trade commodity, and
is sometimes taken in raids. The red and yellow salts of the south, some which I
saw on the tables, are not domestic to Torvaldsland.[Marauders of Gor p186]
Sugar -
white and yellow
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
[Tribesmen of Gor p89]
Sugar -
yellow
There was a brass ladle that Aphris and Elizabeth had used in cooking and a tin
box of yellow Turian sugar.[Nomads of Gor p23]
Tastas -
Fudge; Syrup
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 then the stick, from
the bottom, is thrust up, deeply, into it. It is then ready to be eaten. As the
candy is held neatly in place there is very little mess in this arrangement.
Similarly, as the candy is held in its fixed position, it may, in spite of its
nature, be eaten , or bitten, or licked or sucked, as swiftly, or slowly, and as
much at one’s leisure as one might please. These candies are usually sold at
such places as parks, beaches, and promenades, at carnivals, expositions and
fairs, and at various types of popular events, such as plays, song dramas,
races, games, and kaissa matches. They are popular even with children.
