Fruits & Vegetables

Apricots 
"I brushed away two sellers of apricots and spices." 
Tribesmen of Gor, page 45

Beans 
"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, 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 yellow, fibrous, and heavily seeded." 
Tribesmen of Gor, page 37

Berries 
"I felt the pull of a strap on my throat, and opened my eyes. By a 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
Bread (Sa-Tarna Bread) 
This is the yellow Gorean bread made from Sa-Tarna grain. It is baked in round loaves and is a staple of most Gorean meals. 
"I thought of the yellow Gorean bread, baked in the shape of round, flat loaves, fresh and hot;…" 
Outlaw of Gor, page 76 
"He removed my hand from the binding fiber. I reached out for him. He thrust a huge piece of the yellow Sa-Tarna bread into my hands." 
Captive of Gor, page 114


Dates 
Grown in the oases of the Tahari 
"The principal export of the oases are dates, or pressed-date bricks." 
Tribesmen of Gor, page 37

Katch 
A leafy vegetable 
"…a foliated leaf vegetable, called Katch…" 
Tribesmen of Gor, page 37

Kes 
One of the principal ingredients of Sullage, a common Gorean soup. 
"The principal ingredients of Sullage are the golden Sul, …the curled, red, ovate leaves of the Tur-Pah, 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

Kort 
"…a large brownish-skinned, thick-skinned, sphere shaped vegetable, usually some six inches in width, the interior of which is yellow, fibrous, and heavily seeded." 
Tribesmen of Gor, page 37

Larma 
There are two types of larma fruit. One is a single-seeded, apple-like fruit. The other is segmented and juicy with a hard, brittle shell on the outside. A slave girl who desires the touch of a Master may kneel before him, offering a larma as her unspoken message of need. 

"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, page 267 
"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." 
Renegades of Gor, page 437 
"Another bit of larma, Master?" asked the slave, kneeling behind me and to my left. I turned and, from where I sat cross-legged behind the low table, removed a small, crisp disk of fried larma, with a browned-honey sauce, from the silver tray." 
Guardsman of Gor, page 231 
"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, pages 27-28 
"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

Melons 
"Buy melons!" called a fellow next to her, lifting one of the yellowish, red-striped spheres toward me." 
Tribesmen of Gor, page 45

Olives 
From the city of Tor 
"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." 
Assassin of Gor, page 168

Onions 
"…vulo stew with raisins, nuts, onions, and honey." 
Tribesmen of Gor, page 47

Peas 
"I had tarsk meat and yellow bread with honey, Gorean peas, and a tankard of diluted Ka-la-na, warm water mixed with wine." 
Assassin of Gor, page 87

Peaches 
"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, pages 27-28

Plums 
"I had nearly stepped into a basket of plums." 
Tribesmen of Gor, page 45

Tribesmen of Gor, page 45

Ramberries 
Small reddish fruit, plumlike, but with edible seeds. 
"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

Red Olives 
"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

Rence 
A water plant which is used for food, pressed into paper or woven into cloth. The pith (or center of the stem) is edible…it is made into a paste or porridges, or made into rence beer and drank from flagons. 
"The plant has many uses besides serving as a raw product in the manufacture of rence paper…from the stem the rence growers can make reed boats, sails, mats, cords and a kind of fibrous cloth; further it's pith is edible…" 
Raiders of Gor, page 7 
"In the morning, before dawn, she had placed in my mouth a handful of rence paste." 
Raiders of Gor, page 28 
"In a moment the woman had returned with a double handful of wet rence paste. When fried on flat stones it makes a kind of cake, often sprinkled with rence seeds." 
Raiders of Gor, page 25 
"I had carried about bowls of cut, fried fish, and wooden trays of roated tarsk meat, and roasted gants, threaded on sticks, and rence cakes and porridges, and gourd flagons, many times replenished, of rence beer." 
Raiders Gor, page 44

Sul 
A root vegetable, similar to the potato and used as such; though also distilled to make sul-paga, a vodka-like liquor. 
"The sul is a large, thick-skinned, yellow-fleshed, root vegetable. It is very common on this world. There are a thousand ways in which it is prepared. It is fed even to slaves. I had had some at the house; narrow, cooked slices, smeared with butter, sprinkled with salt, fed to me by hand." 
Dancer of Gor, page 80 
"With a serving prong she placed narrow strips of roast bosk and fried sul on my plate." 
Guardsman of Gor, page 234 
"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

Ta-Grapes 
Grown in Cos, used to make Ta wine. 
"…and others, from goblets, gave us of wines, Turian wines, thick and sweet, Ta wine, from the famed Ta grapes, from the terraces of Cos…" 
Tribesmen of Gor, page 213 
"The grapes were purple and, I suppose, Ta-grapes from the lower vine-yards of the terraced island of Cos..." 
Priest-Kings of Gor, page 45

Tospit 
A bitter, juicy citrus fruit. Used to make wagers on the number of seeds (odd or even, or the number of odd seeds, since most tospits have and odd number of seeds) 
"I was mildly surprised that the boy had been eating the tospit raw, for they are quite bitter…" 
Tribesmen of Gor, page 46 
"Larma and tospit are also grown at the oases, in small orchards." 
Tribesmen of Gor, page 37 
"She had been carrying tospits and vegetables to the deck locker, to fill it." 
Marauders of Gor, page 289 
"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 
"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, page 149

Tur-Pah 
One of the principal ingredients of Sullage, a common Gorean soup. 
"The principal ingredients of Sullage are the golden Sul, …the curled, red, ovate leaves of the Tur-Pah, 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."
