The meat was a steak cut from the loin, a huge shaggy long horned bovine, meat is seared, as thick as the forearm of a Warrior on a small iron grill on a kindling of charcoal cylinders so that the thin margin on the outside was black, crisp and flaky sealed within by the touch of the fire - the blood rich flesh hot and fat with juice.
(Outlaws of Gor page 45)
The bosk, without which the Wagon Peoples could not live, is an ox like creature. It is a huge, shambling animal, with a thick, humped neck and long, shaggy hair. Not only does the flesh of the bosk and the milk of its cows furnish the Wagon Peoples with food and drink, but its hides cover the domelike wagons in which they dwell; its tanned and sewn skin cover their bodies.
(Nomads of Gor page 4)
The Tarn Keeper 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.
(Assassins of gor page 168)
He sat, cross-legged, behind the low table. On it were hot bread, yellow and fresh, hot black wine, steaming, with its sugars, slices of roast bosk, scrambled eggs of vulos, pastries with creams and custards.

Kailiauk dangerous beast standing 20-25 hands at the shoulders and weighing as much as 4000 lbs.
(Savages of Gor page 40)
"The red savages depend for their very lives on the kailiauk" said Kog. "He is the major source of their food and life. His meat and hide, his bones and sinew, sustain them. For him they derive not only food but clothing and shelter, tools and weapons.
(Savages of Gor page 50)
There are more than 20 types of this animal found in the rainforests. Their sweet meat is roasted.
(Tarnsman of Gor page 146)
I had tarsk meat and yellow bread and honey, Gorean peas, and a tankard of diluted Ka-la-na, warm water mixed with wine.
(Assassin of Gor page 87)
Before the feast I had helped the women, cleaning fish and dressing marsh gants, and then,, later, turning spits for the roasted tarsks, roasted over rence-root fires, kept on metal pans, elevated above the rence of the islands by metal racks, themselves resting on larger pans.
(Raiders of Gor page 44)
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 page 219)
I was particularly fond of stuffed mushrooms. "What are they stuffed with?" I asked Hurtha. "Sausage" he said. "Tarsk?" I asked. "Of course" he said.
(Mercenaries of Gor page 83)
Tumits are large, flightless carniverous birds of the plains, often hunted and eaten by the Nomadic people of Gor. Traditionally hunted with bolos, the sport lies in whether you or the bird gets to eat that night.
(Nomads of Gor page 2)
I had returned later to the compartment. Miss Allen Blake, head to the floor, knelt when I entered. In these days 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.
(Tribesman of Gor page 47)
I saw four or five small cooking fires, such as might mark the camp of a mountain patrol or a small company of hunters, perhaps after the agile and bellicose Gorean mountain goat, the long-haired, spiral-horned verr, or, more dangerously, the larl, a tawny leopard like beast indigenous to the Voltai and several of Gor's ranges, standing an incredible seven feet high at the shoulder and feared for its occasional hunger-driven visitations to the civilized plains below.
(Tribesman of Gor page 147)
Vulo are domesticated pigeons raised for their meat and eggs.
(Nomads of Gor page 1)
She had been carrying a wicker basket containing vulos, a domesticated pigeon raised for eggs and meat.
(Nomads of Gor page 1)
"It is the spiced brain of the Turian vulo" Saphrar explained. I shot the spiced brain into my mouth on the tip of a golden eating prong.
(Nomads of Gor page 83)
"Now this" said Saphrar the merchant was telling me, "is the braised liver of the blue four-spired Cosian Wingfish". This fish is a tiny, delicate fish, blue, about the size of a tarn disk when curled in one's hand; it has three or four slender spines in its dorsal fin, which are poisonous; it is capable of hurling itself from the water and, for brief distances, on its stiff pectoral fin, gliding through the air, usually to evade the smaller sea-tharlarions, which seems to be immune to the poison of the spines. This fish is sometimes referred to as the songfish because, as a portion of its courtship rituals, the males and females thrust their heads from the water and utter a sort of whistling sound. The blue, four-spired 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 page 84)
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)
I heard a tiny bird some forty or fifty yards to my right; it sounded like a marsh gant, a small, horned, web-footed aquatic fowl, broad-billed and broad-winged. Marsh girls, the daughters of Rence growers, sometimes hunt them with throwing sticks.
(Raiders of Gor page 4)
I had carried about bowls of cut, fried fish, and wooden trays of roasted tarsk meat, and roasted gants, threaded on sticks, and rence cakes and porridges, and gourd flagons, many times replenished, of rence beer.
(Raiders of Gor page 44)
I looked at him steadily. "They are probably false stones", I said. "amber droplets, the pearls of Vosk sorp, the polished shell of the Tamber clam, glass colored and cut in Ar for trade with ignorant southern peoples.
(Nomads of Gor page 20)
She threw me one of the oysters. "Eat slave", she said.
(Captive of Gor page 301)
Other girls had prepared the repast, which for a war camp, was sumptous indeed, containing even oysters from the delta of the Vosk.
(Captive of Gor page 301)
The men who had 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 page 63)
In this punishment the girl, clothed or unclothed, is bound tightly to an oar, hands behind her, her head down, toward the blade. When the oar lifts from the water she gasps for breath, only in another moment to be submerged again. A recalcitrant girl may be kept on the oar for hours. There is also, however some danger in this, for sea sleen and the white shark of the north occasionally attempt to tear such a girl from the oar. When food is low, it is not unknown for the men of Trovaldsland to use a bond-maid, if one is available on the ship, for bait in such a manner.
(Mauraders of Gor page 66)
Three other men from the Forkbeard attended to fishing, two with a net, sweeping it along the side of the serpent, for parsit fish, and the third, near the stem, with a hook and line, baited the vulo liver, for the white-bellied grunt, a large game fish which haunts the plankton banks to feed on parsit fish.
(Mauraders of Gor page 59)
Before each guest there were tiny slices of tospit and larma, small pastries, and in a tiny golden cup, with a golden spoon, the clustered, black, tiny eggs of the white grunt. The first wine, a light white wine, was being deferentially served by Pamela and Bonnie.
(Fighting Slave of Gor page 275)
I brushed away two sellers of apricots and spices.
(Tribesman of Gor page 45)
I felt the pull of a strap on my throat, and opened my eyes. By the long leather strap, some ten feet in length, I was fastened by the neck to Ute. We were picking berries.
(Captive of Gor page 208)
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 page 305)
"It reminds me of the cherries of Tyros", I said.
(Beasts of Gor page 349)
Wakapapi said Cuwignaka to me. This is the Kaiila word for pemmican. A soft cake of this substance was pressed into my hands. I crumbled it. In the winter, of course such cakes can be frozen solid. One then breaks them into smaller pieces, warms them in one's hands and mouth, and eats them bit by bit. I lifted the crumbled pemmican to my mouth and ate of it. There are various ways in which pemmican may be prepared, depending primarily on what one adds into 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 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 round cakes.

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, or perhaps more aptly, the pit fruit, because of its large single stone.
(Players of Gor page 267)
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 larma or a yellow Gorean peach, ripe and fresh.

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, onion tuber suls, various sorts of melons, foliated leaf vegetables, called Katch, and various root vegetables, such as turnips, carrots, radishes, of the sphere and cylinder varieties, and korts, a large brownished-skinned, tich-skinned, sphere shaped vegetable, usually some six inches in width, the interior of which is yellow, fiberous, and hevily seeded.

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 carmel apple, but much smaller, and, like a carmel apple, mounted on sticks.

The candy is prepared and then the stick, from the bottom, is thrust up, deeply, into it.

"This is warmed chocolate," I said, pleased. It was very rich and creamy. "Yes, Mistress," said the girl. "It is very good," I said. "Thank you, Mistress," she said. "Is it from Earth?" I asked. "Not directly," she said. "Many things here, of course, ultimately have an Earth origin. It is not improbable that the beans from which the first cocoa trees on this world were grown were brought from Earth." "Do the trees grow near here?" I asked. "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."

Of course Aya exploited her. It was my intention that she should. But, too, Aya, with her kaiila strap, continued her lessons in Gorean. Too, she taught her skills useful to a Tahari female, the making of robes from kaiila hair, the cutting and plaiting of reins, the weaving of cloth and mats, the decoration and beading of leather goods, the use of mortar and pestle, the use of grain quern, the preperation of spicing of stews, the cleaning of verr and, primarily when we camped mear watering holes in the vicinity of nomads, the milking of verr and kaiila. Too, she was taught the churning of milk in skin bags.

Salt, incidentally, is obtained by the men of Trovaldsland, most commonly, from seawater 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 of which I saw on the tables, are not domestic in Trovaldsland.

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 page 63)
Moreover, where there was Kal-da there should be bread and meat. I thought of the yellow Gorean bread, baked in the shape of round, flat loaves, fresh and hot; my mouth watered for a tubak steak or, perhaps, if i were lucky, a slice of roast tarsk, the formidable six tusked wild boar of Gor's temperate forests.
(Outlaws of Gor page 76)
The Tarn Keeper brought the food, bosk steak with yellow bread, peas and Torian olives, and two golden-brown, starchy Suls, broken open and filled with melted bosk cheese.

"It is the spiced brain of the Turian vulo," Saphrar explained. I shot hte spiced brain into my mouth on the tip of a golden eating prong.

In the north, generally, mead, a drink made with fermented honey and water, and often spices and such, tends to be favoured over paga.
(Vagabonds of Gor page 16)
Kal-da is a hot drink, almost scalding, made of diluted ka-la-na wine, mixed with citrus juices and stinging spices.
(Outlaws of Gor page 76)
I brushed away two sellers of apricots and spices.
(Tribesman of Gor page 45)
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 his head.
(Tribesman of Gor page 46)
Many goods pass in and out of Schendi, as would be the case in any major port, such as precious metals, jewels, tapestries, rugs, silks, horns and horn products, medicines, sugars and salts, scrolls, papers, ink, lumber, stone, cloth, ointments, perfumes, dried fruits, some dried fish, many root vegetables, chains, craft tools, agricultural implements, such as hoe heads and metal flail blades, wines and pagas, colourful birds and slaves. Schendi's most significant exports are doubtless spice and hides, with kailiauk horn and horn products also being of great importance. One of her most delicious exports is palm wine.
(Explorers of Gor page 115)
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.
(Tribesman of Gor page 89)
Lola now returned to the small table and, kneeling head down, served us our desert, slices of tospit, sprinkled with four Gorean sugars.
(Rogue of Gor page 132)
The expression "second slave", incidentally, serves to indicate that one does not wish creams or sugars with one's black wine, even if only one girl is serving.
(Guardsman of Gor page 244 and 245)
The principle ingredients of Sullage are the golden Suls, the curled, red, ovate leaves of the Ta-Puh, a tree parasite, cultivated in host orchards 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 page 45)
I saw small fruit trees, and hives, where honey bees were raised; and there were small sheds, here and there, with sloping roofs of boards; in some such sheds might craftsmen work, in others fish might be dried or butter made.
(Marauders of Gor page 81)
I had some at the house, narrow, cooked slices smeared with butter, sprinkled with salt, fed to me by hand.
(Dancer of Gor page 80)
We stopped by the churning shed, where Olga, sweating, had finished making a keg of butter.
(Marauders of Gor page 101)
The Tarn Keeper brought 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)
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)
He sat, cross-legged, behind the low table. On it were hot bread, yellow and fresh, hot black wine, steaming, with its sugars, slices of bosk roast, the scrambled eggs of vulos, pastries with creams and custards.
(Beasts of Gor page 20)
Too, I had brought up a small bowl of powdered bosk milk. We had finished the creams last night and, in any event, it is unlikely that they would have lasted the night. If I had wanted creams I would have had to gone to the market.
(Guardsman of Gor page 295)
Then they put her in a tiny cage, where she could not excerise, and could scarcely move, and, heavily, abundantly, every two hours, using the tube and ball, and the cruel plunger, using rich foods and creams, which she could not taste because of the tube, force-fed here.
(Dancer of Gor page 69)
Vulo are domesticated pigeons raised for their meat and eggs.
(Nomads of Gor page 1)
She had been carrying a wicker basket containing vulos, a domesticated pigeon raised for eggs and meat.

Before each guest there were tiny slices of tospit and larma, small pastries, and in a tiny golden cup, with a small golden spoon, the clustered, black, tiny eggs of the white grunt. The first wine, a light white wine, was being deferentially served by Pamela and Bonnie.
(Fighting Slave of Gor page 275)
My house, incidentally, like most Gorean houses, had no ice chest. There is little cold storage on Gor. Generally, food is preserved by being dried or salted. Some cold storage, of course, does exist. Ice is cut from ponds in the winter, and then stored in ice houses, under sawdust. One may go to the ice houses for it, or have it delivered in ice wagons. Most Goreans, of course, cannot afford the luxury of ice in the summer.
(Guardsman of Gor page 29)
The High Initiate had risen to his feet and accepted a goblet from another Initiate, probably containing minced flavoured ices, for the day was warm.
(Assassin of Gor page 141)
Free women, here and there, were delicately putting tidbits beneath their veils. Some even lifted their veils somewhat to drink of the flavoured ices. Some low-caste free women drank through their veils, and there were yellow and purple stains on the rep-cloth.
(Assassin of Gor page 141)
The bosk, without which the Wagon Peoples could not live, is an ox like creature. It is a huge, shambling animal, with a thick, humped neck and long, shaggy hair. Not only does the flesh of the bosk and the milk of its cows furnish the Wagon Peoples with food and drink, but its hides cover the domelike wagons in which they dwell; its tanned and sewn skin covers their bodies.
(Nomads of Gor page 4)
When the meat was ready, Kamchak ate his fill, and drank down, too, a flagon of bosk milk.
(Nomads of Gor page 139)
The smell of fruits and vegetables, and verr milk was very strong.
(Savages of Gor page 60)
I heard the lowing of the milk bosk from among the wagons.
(Nomads of Gor page 27)
Too, I had brought up a small bowl of powdered bosk milk. We had finished the creams last night and, in any event, it was unlikely they would have lasted the night. If I had wanted creams I would have had to have gone to the market.
