FRUITS of GOR

Apricots
I brushed away two sellers of apricots and spices.  [Tribesmen of Gor p45]

Cherries
With the tip of my tongue I touched her lips. Some slave cosmetics are flavored. "Does Master enjoy my taste?" she asked. "The lipstick is flavored," I said. "I know," she said. “It reminds me of the cherries of Tyros,” I said.  [Beasts of Gor p28]

Choke cherries
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 p46]

Dates
The principal export of the oasis are dates, or pressed-date bricks. Some of the date palms grow to more than a hundred feet high. It takes ten years before they begin to bear fruit. They will then yield fruit for more than a century. A given tree, annually, yields between one and five Gorean weights of fruit. A weight is some ten stone, or some forty Earth pounds. [Tribesmen of Gor p37]

Grapes
The meal was completed by a handful of grapes and a draught of water from the wall tap. The grapes were purple and, I suppose, Ta grapes from the lower vinyards of the terraced island of Cos some for hundred pasangs from Port Kar. I had tasted some only once before, having been introduced to them at a feast given in my honor by Lara, who was Tatrix of the city of Tharna. If they were indeed Ta grapes I supposed they must have come by galley from Cos to Port Kar, and from Port Kar to the Fair of En’Kara.
[Priest-Kings of Gor p45]

Dried Fruit
A man handed me a bag of food. It contained dried fruit, biscuits, salt.[Tribesmen of Gor -p267]

Ka-la-na Fruit
I picked some Ka-la-na fruit and opened one of the packages of rations.[Tarnsman of Gor p106]

Larma
The larma is luscious. 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  p437]
He then picked up a juicy, red larma fruit, biting into it with a sound that seemed partly crunching as he went through the shell, partly squishing as he bit into the fleshy, segmented endocarp.[Nomads of Gor p19]
I took a slice of hard larma from the tray. This is a firm, single-seeded applelike fruit. It is quite unlike the segmented, juicy larma. It is sometimes called, perhaps more aptly, the pit fruit, because of its large single stone.[Players of Gor, p267]

Melons
“Buy melons!” called a fellow next to her, lifting one of the yellowish, red-striped spheres toward me.  [Tribesmen of Gor p45]

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 p10]

Olives
brought the food, bosk steak and yellow bread, peas and Torian olives...[Assassin of Gor p168]
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 p114]

Peach
On Gor, the female slave, desiring her master, yet sometimes fearing to speak to him, frightened that she may be struck, has recourse upon occasion, to certain devices, the meaning of which is generally established and culturally well understood... 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 p27]


Pear
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]

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  p267]

Plum
I had nearly stepped into a basket of plums.[Tribesman of Gor p45]

Pomegranate
“Pomegranate orchards lie at the east of the oasis,” I said.[Tribesmen of Gor p175]

Raisin
In the cafes I 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.
[Tribesmen of Gor p47]
He also gave me a slice of dried larma, some raisins and a plum.[Kajira of Gor p216]

Ram-Berry
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 plums save for the many small seeds.[Captive of Gor p305]

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 peach like 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  p59]
He looked at me shrewdly and, to my surprise, drew a tospit out of his pouch, that yellowish-white, bitter fruit, looking something like a peach, but about the size of a plum.[Nomads of Gor  p149]
The common tospit almost invariably has an odd number of seeds. On the other hand, the rare, long-stemmed tospit usually has an even number of seeds.[Nomads of Gor p149]
The topsits, in the Forkbeard’s orchard, which can grow at this latitude, as the larma cannot, were too green to eat. I smiled, recalling that topsits almost invariably have an odd number of seeds, saving the rarer, long-stemmed variety. I do not care too much for topsits, as they are quite bitter. Some men like them. They are commonly used, sliced and sweetened with honey, and in syrups, and to flavor, with their juices, a variety of dishes. They are also excellent in the prevention of nutritional deficiencies at sea, in long voyages, containing, I expect, a great deal of vitamin C. They are sometimes called the seaman’s larma. They are a fairly hard fleshed fruit, and are not difficult to dry and store.[Marauders of Gor p102]
