A great amount of farming, or perhaps one should speak of gardening, is done at
the oasis, but little of this is exported. 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.

Mushrooms
“Have a stuffed mushroom.”
“What are they stuffed with?” I asked Hurtha.
“Sausage,” he said.

Onions
“I have peas and turnips, garlic and onions in my hut,” said the man, his bundle
like a giant’s hump on his back.

like a giant’s hump on his back.

diluted Ka-la-na, warm water mixed with wine.[Assassin of Gor p87]
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 p47]
Pith
From the stem the rence growers can make reed boats, sails, mats, cords and
the kind of fibrous cloth; further, its pith is edible, and for the rence
growers is, with fish, a staple in their diet; the pith is edible both raw and
cooked; some men, lost in the delta, not knowing the pith edible, have died of
starvation the the midst of what was, had they known it, an almost endless
abundance of food. The pith is also used, upon occasion, as a caulking for boat
seams, but tow and pitch, covered with tar or grease, are generally used.
[Raiders of Gor p7]
Pumpkin
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 p 233]
Suls
The slave boy, Fish, had emerged from the kitchen, holding over his head on a
large silver platter a whole roasted tarsk, steaming and crisped, basted,
shining under the torch light, a larma in its mouth, garnished with suls and
Tur-Pah.
[Raiders of Gor p219]
The Sul is a tuberous root of the Sul plant; it is a Gorean staple.
[Slave Girl of Gor p134]
With a serving prong she placed narrow strips of roast bosk and fried sul on my
plate.
[Guardsman of Gor p234]
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 p80]
