Ka-la-na: A dry strong wine, made from the juice of the fruit of the Ka-la-na tree. . It is served chilled or room temperature, in a goblet. ~do not serve in a silver vessel, as it is commonly believed that tyhe metal will interact with the wine, making it poisonous~ I went to his locker near the mat and got out his Ka-la-na flask, taking a long draught myself and then shoving it into his hands. He drained the flask in one drink and wiped his hand across his beard, stained with the red juice of the fermented drink. Tarnsman of Gor, p 168 Mulled Ka-la-na: It is heated ka-la-na, with mulling spices. Sometimes can be garnished with a piece of ka-la-na fruit or tospit.(slice the tospit or fruit and place on rim of goblet) Serve in a goblet, or mug.

Vagabonds of Gor, p 16 Milk Curd: Fermented milk enjoyed by the Wagon People. Can be thought of as eathern buttermilk. However is intoxicating. By one fire I could see a squat Tuchuk, hands on his hips, dancing and stamping about by himself, drunk on fermented milk curds, dancing, according to Kamchak, to please the sky.

Botas of Paga made of Verr skin hang in the Servery over the hearth to warm or outside near the main cook fire.There are also skins (Botas) or bottles in the chill pit. It is served in a footed bowl.

Not available in Tuchuk unless brought in by One of the Peasant Caste. Sul paga, as anyone knew, is seldom available outside of a peasant village, where it is brewed. Sul paga would slow a thalarion. To stay on your feet after a mouthful of Sul paga it is said one must be of the peasants, and then for several generations. And even then, it is said, it is difficult to manage. There is a joke about the baby of a peasant father being born drunk nine months later. Slave of Gor, p 414 Ta-wine: This is a dry wine made from Ta grapes from the Isle of Cos.
