FRUITS
Apricot:
"I brushed away two sellers of apricots and spices."
(Tribesmen of Gor, page 45)
Dates:
"The principal export of the oasis are dates, or pressed-date bricks."
(Tribesmen of
Gor, page 37)
Ka-la-na
fruit: "Over there," I said, "are some Ka-la-na trees. Wait here and I'll gather some fruit."
(Tarnsman of Gor, page 96)
Parsit
fish "The men of Torvaldsland are skilled with their hands. Trade to the south, of
course is largely in furs acquired from Torvaldsland, and in barrels of smoked, dried parsit
fish."
(Marauders of Gor, page 28>
Larma:
"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."
(Renegades of Gor, page 437)
Melons:
""Buy melons!" called a fellow next to her, lifting one of the yellowish, red-striped
spheres towards me"
(Tribesmen of Gor, page 45)
Nuts:
"To the oasis 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, page 47)
Olives:
"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, page 168)
Olives,
red: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, page 114)
Peaches:
"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, pages 27-28)
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, page 62)
Plums:
I had nearly stepped into a basket of plums."
(Tribesmen of Gor, page 45)
Promegranate:
"Pomegranate orchards lie at the east of the oasis," I said.
(Tribesmen of Gor, page 174)
Raisin:
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, page 47)
Ram-berries:
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, page 305)
Ta-Grapes:
I retrieved a grape about the size of a small plum from the table before it could be cleared
away. It was peeled and pitted, doubtless laboriously by female slaves. It was a Ta-Grape.
(Players of Gor, page 291)
Tospit:
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, page 149)
