Gorean (Gor) Life
Foods of Gor
MEAT:
Bosk:
Similar to beef from Earth
cooked either:-
1.) Roasted on a
spit, carved and served with suls broken open and smeared with melted bosk
/ verr cheese, steamed with peas and a loaf of warm sa-tarna bread with
butter melted into the six scored sections.
2.) Sliced steak from
the loin, seared on a small iron grill with herbs and spices, served with
slices of ka-la-na and pieces of tospit fruit to garnish, also cooked
slices of suls, smeared with butter and a loaf of warm sa-tarna bread.
3.) Diced and stewed with loads of vegetables and suls.
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
Grant: Similar to Earth duck, a small, horned, web
footed aquatic fowl, broad billed and broad winged. Gant is a staple diet
of the Rence People who inhabit the Delta of the Vosk.
I had also
been used to carry heavy kettles of rence beer from the various islands to
the place of feasting, as well as strings ofwater gourds, poles of fish,
plucked gants, slaughtered tarsks, and baskets of the pith of rence.
Raider of Gor page 41
Sausage: Made of various meats,
tarsk sausage is the one mentioned directly. : There were several
yards of sausages hung on hooks; numerous cannisters of flour, sugars and
salts; many smaller containers of spices and condiments
Assassins of
Gor pg.271
Tabuk- a berry eating antelop know for
the sweetness of its meat.
cooked either:
1.) Roasted and
served with suls broken open and smeared with melted cheese, peas and a
loaf of warm sa-tarna bread and butter.
2.) Grilled and served with
suls broken open and smeared with melted cheese, peas and a loaf of warm
sa-tarna bread and butter.
.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 pg.191
Tarn: A rare delicacy eaten on
the battlefield by warriors after a battle.
Cooked:
Roasted
and chunked served with red blood gravy.
Tarsk:
Similar to the pig of Earth, a staple diet of the rence growers, a six
tusked boar that is often not a favored food due to being a carrion eater.
cooked:
Roasted over a rence root fire, stuffed with suls and
peppers from Tor, served with a loaf of warm sa-tarna bread and butter.
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 pg.76
Tumits- A large carnivorous flightless bird of the
southern plains.
Cooked:
1.) Roasted and served with suls
broken open and smeared with cheese, peas, and a loaf of sa-tarna bread
with butter.
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 pg.2
Verr:
Similar to the goat from Earth. A herd mammal.
Cooked either:
1.) Steaks served with suls broken open and smeared with cheese and a
loaf of sa-tarna bread with butter.
2.) Whole leg wrapped in leaves
and steamed in the ground fro a whole day.
3.) Diced and thawed on
skewers along with thick slices of cooked suls (like a kebab).
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
pg.63
Vulo: Pigeon like bird that lays eggs.
Eggs cooked: on a flat pan over the heat, it is necessary to cook many
as they are small.
Birds cooked: 1.) Roasted stuffed with a mix
of sa-tarna bread, ram berries, dates, herb s and spices.
2.)
Baked. She had been carrying a wicker basket containing vulos,
domesticated pigeons raised for eggs and meat.
Nomads of Gor pg.1

pigeons raised for eggs and meat.
Nomads of Gor pg.1
VEGETABLES
Beans: As on Earth
In
them growing, small at this season, shafts of Sa-Tarna; too, there would
be peas, and beans, cabbages and onions, and patches of the golden sul,
capable of surviving at this latitude.
Marauders of Gor pg.81
Carrots: As on Earth
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 pg.37
Cabbage: As on Earth, mentioned in Marauders of Gor.
In them growing, small at this season, shafts of Sa-Tarna; too, there
would be peas, and beans, cabbages and onions, and patches of the golden
sul, capable of sur viving at this latitude
Marauders of Gor pg.81
Corn: Presumably the same as corn on earth. Grown by the
Sames in the Barrens.
They grow produce for their masters, such
as wagmeza and wagnu, maize, or corn, and such things as pumpkins and
squash.
Savages of Gor pg.234
Garlic: Presumably
the same as garlic on earth.
"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 pg.29:
Katch: A foliated leaf
vegetable (like cabbage)
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 pg.37
Kes_
A small rooted shrub, it grows best in sandy soils. Its secondary roots
are a main ingredient of sullage, a soup of Gor.
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 pg.45
Kort.
A yellow fibrous sphere shaped vegetable which is normally 6 inches in
width, thick brown skinned heavily seeded.
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 pg.37
Mushrooms: no description mentioned. In Mercenaries of
Gor.
"Have a stuffed mushroom."
Mercenaries of Gor pg.81
Onions: As on Earth.
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 pg.37
Peas- As on Earth.
"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 pg.29
Peppers:
just mentioned in the Tribesman of Gor.
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
pg.47
Potatoe: The only mention of an actual potatoe
in the books.
"Dorna the Proud," said the slave, who tumbled onoins,
turnips, radishes, potatoes and bread into the feed trough Outlaw of
Gor pg.155
Pumpkin: Presumably the same as pumpkins
on earth. Grown by the Sames in the Barrens.
They grow produce
for their masters, such as wagmeza and wagnu, maize, or corn, and such
things as pumpkins and squash. Savages of Gor pg.234
Radishes: As on Earth.
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 pg.37
Rence
Cakes: A type of cake made from fried rence paste, on flat
stones, often sprinkled with rence seeds.
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 pg.25
Squash: Presumably the same as
squash on earth. Grown by the Sames in the Barrens.
They grow
produce for their masters, such as wagmeza and wagnu, maize, or corn, and
such things as pumpkins and squash. Savages of Gor pg.234
Sul Large thick stemmed yellow fleshed root vegetables, like a
Earth potatoes.
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 pg.134
Turnips:
As on Earth
"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 pg.29
Tur_Pah: Parasite plants
of the Tur tree, with red curly leaves.
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-pah, 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 pg.45
BREAD AND GRAINS.
Black Bead: Heavy baked dark bread Baked soft and full
flavored. Often served with clotted bosk cream or honey.
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 pg.13
Sa-Tarna:
Yellow grain that is a staple of Gor. Uses to make bread and brew paga.
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 Outlaw of Gor pg.19
Sa-Tarna Bread:
yellow bread made from Sa-tarna grains.
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. Kajira of Gor pg.216
Slave gruel/porridge: Cold unsweetened mixture of sa-tarna
grains and water, given to slaves, sometimes with raw parsit fish added.
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. Kajira
of Gor pg.257
DAIRY
Butter:
Made from verr or bosk milk
She offered me a silver tray on which,
hot and steaming, were wedges of Gorean bread, made from Sa-Tarna grain.
It took one of them and, from the tureen, with the small silver dipper,
both on the tray, poured hot butter on the bread. Rogue of Gor pg.191
Cheese: made from verr or bosk milk
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 pg.168
Eggs: from the vulo bird.
Aretic
Gant Eggs: Eggs of the migratory Aretic gant: when frozen they are
eaten like apples.
I stepped aside to let a young girl pass, who
carried two baskets of eggs, those of the migratory arctic 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 pg.196
FISH
Caviar: Tiny eggs of the white grunt
Eel:
a voracious animal which can maim or kill a slave in moments. Some
varieties are edible and considered a gorean delicacy. Varieties include:
river eel, black eel, and the spotted 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
pg.428
Marsh Shark: Served as fillets or steaks
Oysters: Similar to Earth oysters, from the Delta or the Vosk.
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 pg.301
Parsit: Thin
silver fish from the water of the North Torvaldslanders salt it, smoked,
dried and exported in barrels.
Like the bond-maids, she had been
fed only on cold Sa-Tarna porridge and scraps of dried parsit fish.
Marauders of Gor pg.56
Salt Thassa Fish: Baked or
broiled
Sorp: like oysters ( with pearls) Used in
stews and soups.
Vosk Carp: From the rivers Vosk,
served baked, fried or broiled.
White Grunt: A large
game fish, white bellied from the cold waters of the north.
Great Speckled Grunt: A fish inhabiting the Thassa and caught as
food for sailors.
Wingfish: A tiny delicacy fish
(especially the liver) blue, has three or four slender spines in its
dorsal fin which are poisonous, sometimes referred to as the songfish.
Roasted in a Iron pan over the fire.
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 pg.85
Thassian Lobster: Served boiled with drawn bosk butter and tospit
juice. A very succulent and sensual meal for a special Master.
Tamber Gulf Oysters: From the Tambler Gulf, Tamber Golf Oysters
are large, fresh served raw or baked. Perfect right before a trip to the
alcoves. Watch out slaves!!.
FRUITS:
Apricots: as on earth, references exist of the fruit
being sold in marketplaces of the Tahari.
I brushed away two
sellers of apricots and spices.
Tribesmen of Gor pg.45
Blueberries: smuggled to Gor from Earth…very true.
Cherries: Grown in Tyros.
Dates: from
Tor
A veiled woman was hawking dates by the tefa.
Tribesmen of
Gor pg.46
Ka-la-na: from the ka-la-na tree of the
plains of ka-la-na. Used to make wine and garnish drinks.
"Over
there," I said, "are some Ka-la-na trees. Wait here and I'll gather some
fruit." Tarnsman of Gor pg.96
Larma: like an
apple, singe seeded, firm with a hard shell, sweet juicy fruit, sometimes
called the pit fruit, because of the large single stone. The offering of
the larma fruit to a girls Master (imagined or real) is a silent plea for
slave rape.
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 Renigades of
Gor pg.437
Melon: Yellow red striped spheres"Buy
melons!" called a fellow next to her, lifting one of the yellowish,
red-striped spheres towards me.
Tribesmen of Gor pg.45
Merlot Grapes: Dark grapes that are used to make wine.
Olives, Torian: A type of olive mentioned but not otherwise
described. Possibly a black olive of some sort.
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 pg.168
Pears Similar to an earth pear perhaps.
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 pg.62
Peaches. As an earths 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 pg.27
Pit Fruit
Also known as the hard larma, this is a firm, single- seeded,
applelike 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 pg.267
Plums: As Earth Plums
I had nearly stepped into a
basket of plums.
Tribesmen of Gor pg.45
Pomegranate:
Hopefully similar to the earth fruit of the same name.
Pomegranate orchards lie at the east of the oasis," I said.
Tribesmen
of Gor pg.174
Raisins: For any who do not realise
this, raisins are dried grapes. As the grapes on Gor might not have the
exact taste of Earth grapes, raisins might be slightly different than what
we're used to.
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
Tribesmen of Gor pg.47
Ram Berries:
Small red fruit native to Gor, it is used to make jams and pies or just
serve in bowls.
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 pg.305
Redfruit: Sweet and similar to
the apple of Earth
Ta-grapes: From the Isle of Cos,
like Earth grapes and used to make wine, but may also be eaten.
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 pg.45
Tospit: Small yellow peachy
fruit bitter tasting and holds a large number of seeds. Because of the
bitter taste they are served candied or sliced dipped in honey.
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 pg.59
OTHER
Chocolate: Made from beans brought back on one of the early
voyages of Acquisitions, this is the same as earths chocolate. It is
served in higher class establishments.
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.
Slave girl of Gor pg.216
Clove: A type
of spice.
It is cinnamon and cloves, is it not?"
Explorers of
Gor pg.98
Sugar: Two varieties are commonly used. The
red sweet rocks and the yellow sweet rocks. It is believed that the red
sweet rocks are made from fruits and the yellow sweet rocks from the
juices of crushed cane stalks.
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 pg.132
Bond-maid Gruel: A porridge served to bonds-maids in Torvaldsland
made of dampened Sa-Tarna and raw fish.
The men who fished with the
net had now cleaned the catch of parsit fish, and chopped the cleaned,
boned, silverish bodies into pieces, a quarter inch in width. 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 pg.63
Candy: 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
a stick, the candy is prepared and the stick from the bottom is thirsted
up, deeply into it.
Honey: no description given. Just
that honey bees are raised.
The only relief in their existence
comes once a year, on the birthday of the Tatrix, when they are served a
small cake, made with honey and sesame seeds, and a small pot of poor
Kal-da.
Outlaw of Gor pg.150
Mint sticks: Just
mentioned as tiny mint sticks in a bowl.
She picked up the small
tray from the stand near the table. On it was the small vessel containing
a thick, sweet liquer from distant Turia, the Ar of the south, and the two
tiny glasses from which we had sipped it. 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
Explorers of Gor pg.10
Pastries: nothing
specific mentioned in the fighting slave or Gor.
Sip root:
a bitter toot whose extract is the active ingredient in slave wine.
Salt: Most salt at Klima is white, but certain of the mines
deliver red salt, from ferrous oxide in its composition which is called
the red salt of Kasra, after its port o f embrakation, at the juncture of
the Upper and lower Fayeen.
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.
Tribesmen
of Gor pg.238
Salt, Yellow: A table salt mentioned
and spoken of as "of the south" but not otherwise described.
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.
Assassin of Gor pg.86
Cinnamon:
A type of spice.
"It is cinnamon and cloves, is it not?"
Explorers of Gor pg.98
Pemmican: A hardened cake of
fruit, meat and berries which is a staple item to the red savages.
There are various ways in which pemmican may be prepared, depending
primarily on what one adds to the mixture, in the way of herbs,
seasonings, and fruit. A common way of preparing it is as follows. 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
Blood Brothers of Gor pg.46:
Sesame
Seeds: Presumed the same as the earth consumable of the same
name.
The only relief in their existence comes once a year, on the
birthday of the Tatrix, when they are served a small cake, made with honey
and sesame seeds, and a small pot of poor Kal-da
Outlaw of Gor pg.150
Nuts: Undescribed but presumably similar to an earth nut
of some kind, possibly peanuts or cashews. It is an import of the Tahari.
To the oases caravans bring various goods, for example, rep-cloth,
embroidered cloths, silks, rugs, silver, gold, jewelries, mirrors,
kailiauk tusk, perfumes, hides, skins, feathers, precious woods, tools,
needles, worked leather goods, salt, nuts and spices, jungle birds, prized
as pets, weapons, rough woods, sheets of tin and copper, the tea of Bazi,
wool from the bounding Hurt, decorated, beaded whips, female slaves, and
may other forms of merchandise
Tribesmen of Gor pg.47
Sweetmeat: A candy like substance usually made from nuts,
sugarwater, and various other ingredience.
Below me I saw a hawker
of sweetmeats angrily discarding four silver-glazed, numbered clay tiles.
Assassin of Gor pg.140
Tasta: 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."
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
