The Forkbeard himself now, from a wooden keg, poured a great tankard of ale, which must have been of the measure of five gallons. Over this he then closed his fist. It was the sign of the hammer, the sign of Thor. The tankard then, with two great bronze handles, was passed from hands to hands among the rowers. The men threw back their heads and, the liquid spilling down their bodies, drank ale. It was the victory ale.
Marauders of Gor, p 82
"The Forkbeard greets you!" shouted Ivar. I blinked. The hall was light. I had not understood it to be so large. At the tables, lifting ale and knives to the Forkbeard were more than a thousand men.
Marauders of Gor, p 194
Bazi Tea: A beverage of leaves steeped in hot water.
It is commonly served
hot and heavily sugared. It may be served in either of two fashions. First,
a more traditional, formal serve. The tea is measured into 3 tiny cups, which
are drank in rapid succession. Various sugars and milks may be added. Such
a serve would rarely be done in a paga tavern. It is more likely to be done
in One's own home for Guest. Second, Bazi tea is also drank informally, in
regular-sized cups (or mugs), with or without sugars and milks. Cakes and
Bazi tea is a popular breakfast on Gorean holidays.
Tea is extremely important to the nomads. It is served hot and highly sugared.
It gives strength then, in virtue of the sugar, and cools them, by making
them sweat, as well as stimulating them. It is drunk three small cups at a
time, carefully measured.
Tribesmen of Gor, p 38
"Is it ready?" I asked. I looked at the tiny copper kettle on the
small stand. A tiny kaiila dung fire burned under it. A small, heavy, curved
glass was nearby, on a flat box, which would hold some two ounces of the tea.
Bazi tea is drunk in tiny glasses, usually three at a time, carefully measured.
She did not make herself tea, of course... She lifted the kettle from the
fire and, carefully, poured me a tiny glass of tea.
Tribesmen of Gor, p 139
Black Wine: This is the same as the coffee of Earth "Urth", except
much stronger. Made from the beans brought back on one of the earlier Voayages
of Acquisition, and grown in the mountain of Thentis. It is served hot or
cold if the One you serve perfers and in a mug. Bosk Milk or cream , or Verr
Milk may be added as well as sweetened with Yellow and Red sugar. Black Wine
can also be served plain. Please note that if it is requested to be served
first slave....that cream and sugars are to be added to the mug first and
then the blackwyne. Second slave means black and straight.
I had heard of black wine, but had never had any. It is drunk in Thentis,
but I had never heard of it being much drunk in other Gorean cities...Then
I picked up one of the thick, heavy clay bowls...It was extremely strong,
and bitter, but it was hot, and, unmistakably, it was coffee.
Assassins of Gor, p 106
"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."
Guardsman of Gor, p 295
"Second slave," I told her, which, among the river towns, and in
certain cities, particularly in the north, is a way of indicating that I would
take the black wine without creams or sugars, and as it came from the pouring
vessel, which, of course, in these areas, is handled by the 'second slave',
the first slave being the who puts down the cups, takes the orders and sees
that the beverage is prepared according to the preferences of the one who
is being served. "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 is serving."
Guardsman of Gor, pp 244-245
Breeding Wine: A sweet beverage which counteracts the effects of slave wine,
thus making a slave fertile. This is also called second wine. It is made from
the extract of the Teslik plant. This may only be administered by a Master
or Mistress .
She did not need the sip root, of course, for, as she had pointed out, she
had had some within the moon, and indeed, the effect of sip root, in the raw
state, in most women, is three or four moons. In the concentrated state, as
in slave wine, developed by the caste of physicians, the effect is almost
indefinite, usually requiring a releaser for its remission, usually administered,
to a slave, in what is called the breeding wine, or the 'second wine'. When
this is administered she usually knows that she has been selected for crossing
with a handsome male slave.
Brothers of Gor, p. 319
Chocolate: This is the same as the chocolate of Earth, made from the beans
brought back on one of the Voyages of Acquisition. It is served hot and in
a mug.
"This is warmed chocolate," I said, pleased. It was very rich and
creamy. "Yes, ," said the . "It is very good," I said.
"Thank you, ," 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
cacao trees on this world were grown were brought from Earth." "Do
the trees grow near here?" I asked. "No ," she said, "we
obtain the beans from which the chocolate is made, from Cosian merchants,
who in turn, obtain them in the tropics."
Kajira of Gor, p 61
Cho: Hot paga, chocolate and heavy Bosk whipped cream. Serve in a heavy mug.
(This is not found in the scrolls and was adapted for use online, very popular
with es)
Ka-la-na: A dry strong wine, made from the juice of the fruit of the Ka-la-na
tree. This drink symbolizes romantic love. It is served, chilled or warm,
in a goblet. There is a constant discussion online, as to the colors of red
and white, but if a Master or requests white or red ka-la-na, it is served.
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
I turned and, among the furnishings of the tent, found a bottle of Ka-la-na,
of good vintage, from the vineyards of AR, the loot of a caravan raid. I then
took the wine, with a small copper bowl, and a black, red-rimmed wine crater,
to the side of the fire.
Captive of Gor. p 331
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.
Kalda: A beverage, generally served hot from copper kettles. It is cheap
Ka-la-na wine mixed with citrus juices, such as tospit and larma, and hot
firery spices. Served like beer, it is cheap and tastes good... until you
get to the bottom of the kettle. It is served in a mug.
"Kal-da is a hot drink, almost scalding, made of diluted Ka-la-na wine,
mixed with citrus juices and stinging spices. I did not care much for this
mouth-burning concoction, but it was popular with some of the lower castes,
particularly those who performed strenuous manual labor. I expected its popularity
was due more to its capacity to warm a man and stick to his ribs, and to its
cheapness (a poor grade of Ka-la-na wine being used in its brewing) than to
any gustatory excellence. 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 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, p 76
"I had hardly settled myself behind the table when the proprietor had
placed a large, fat pot of steaming Kal-da before me. It almost burned my
hands to lift the pot. I took a long, burning swig of the brew and though,
on another occasion, I might have thought it foul, tonight it sang through
my body like the bubbling fire it was, a sizzling, brutal irritant that tasted
so bad and yet charmed me so much I had to laugh."
Outlaw of Gor, p 78
Larma Juice: A light, sweet juice served cold, in small goblets or mugs.
I purchased some larma juice for a tarsk bit. "Is it cool?" I asked.
"Yes," she said.
Mercenaries of Gor, p 257
Mead: Similar to ale, made with fermented honey, water, and spices; dark
amber colour; served in a drinking horn or tankard.
In the north generally, mead, a drink made with fermented honey and water,
and often spices and such, tends to be favored over paga.
Vagabonds of Gor, p 16
Here Jarl, said Thyri, again handing me the horn. It was filled with the mead
of Torvaldsland, brewed from fermented, honey, thick and sweet.
Marauders of Gor, p 90
Bera went to the next man, to fill his cup with the mead, from the heavy hot
tankard, gripped with cloth, which she carried.
Marauders of Gor, p 78
Milk: Usually comes from Bosk(a long horned shappy beast highly reverred
by the WagonPeople). Also comes from verr (a goat-like animal).Kaiila can
also be used but are usually reserved for battle other than their milk. Sand
Kaiila milk is however copperous and used for dying cloth, ect..
When the meat was ready, Kamchak ate his fill, and drank down, too, a flagon
of bosk milk.
Nomads of Gor, p 139
Too, she taught her skills useful to a Tahari female, the making of ropes
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 preparation and spicing of stews, the
cleaning of verr and, primarily when we camped near watering holes in the
vicinity of nomads, the milking of verr and kaiila. Too, she was taught the
churning of milk in skin bags.
Guardsman of Gor, p 72
Milk Curd: Fermented milk enjoyed by the Wagon People. Can be thought of
as earthern 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.
Nomads of Gor, p 28
Palm Wine: No description is given, only references made to it. However by
description, one can think of it as sweet and delicious.
One of her most delicious exports is palm wine.
Explorers of Gor, P 115
"My recommendation," said Ayari, "would be to stab him, when
he is not looking, or perhaps to poison his palm wine."
Explorers of Gor, p 429
Rence Beer: A fermented drink from the Rence Islands. Potent and served warm
temperature. Served in tankards or goblets.
At such times there is drinking of rence beer, steeped, boiled and fermented
from the crushed seeds and the whitish pith of the plant.
Raiders of Gor, p 18
Sa-Tarna Paga: Usually known as Paga. It is brewed from the grain of Sa-Tarna
and is similar to Earthen "urthen" whiskey. It may be served warm
or chilled. However it it usually found in verr skin bota's hung by the fires
to keep it warm. It symbolizes physical love % ). Although for a slave to
serve a Master is a deep meaningful act of submission. Also called "pleasure
of the lifes daughter" It is served in a goblet or footed bowl.
He leaned over and tossed me a skin bag of Paga.
Tarnsman of Gor, p 78
"Your paga," said the slave , who served me, her wrists chained.
"It is warmed as you wished." I took it from her, not even glancing
upon her, and drained the goblet... I liked paga warm. One felt is so much
the sooner that way.
Raiders of Gor, p 100
The s filled their vessels, which, like the hydria, or water vessel, are high-handled,
for dipping, in a large kettle hung simmering over a fire near the entrance
to the enclosure. Warm paga makes one drunk quicker, it is thought... Some
Cosians tend to be fond of hot paga.
Vagabonds of Gor, p 16
Slavewine 1: Watered down sweetened Ka-la-na. Given only by a slave's Owner
or.
Slavewine 2: Brewed from bitter herbs and acts as a contraceptive. It is drunk
once per month and given by the Free. A very bitter drink, not pleasant at
all.
Slave wine is bitter, intentionally so. Its effects lasts for more than a
Gorean month. I did not wish the females to conceive. A female slave is taken
off slave wine only when it is her Master's intention to breed her.
Marauders of Gor, p 23
Slave wine makes sense in a slave-holding ure such as Gor. The breeding of
slaves, like any sort of domestic animals, and particularly valuable ones,
is carefully controlled. As a slave, of course, I could be bred, or crossed,
when, and however, my Master might see fit. It is the same as with other animals.
Dancer of Gor, p 175
Sul Paga: It is brewed from the Sul. Sul Paga is a clear, lumpy drink, very
strong and similar to Earthen potatos. It also symbolizes physical love. It
is served in a footed bowl, either warmed or cold. This is NOT served in Kassar!
Sul paga is, when distilled, though the sul itself is yellow, is as clear
as water
Slave of Gor, p 134
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. Serve
at room temperature, warm, or cold. Serve in a goblet.
One held our head back, and others, from goblets, gave us of wines, Turian
wine, sweet and thick, Ta wine, from the famed Ta grapes, from the terraces
of Cos, wines even, Ka-la-nas, sweets and dry, from distant AR
Tribesmen of Gor, p 213
Turian Liquor: A thick, very sweet liquor served in small glasses. Some ask
for this diluted. It is served chilled.
She picked up the small tray from the stand near the table. On it was the
small vessel containing a thick, sweet liquor from distant Turia, the Ar of
the south, and the two tiny glasses from which we had sipped it.
Explorers of Gor, p 10
Turian Wine: A sweet, thick wine served in a goblet.
One held our head back, and others, from goblets, gave us of wines, Turian
wine, sweet and thick, Ta wine, from the famed Ta grapes, from the terraces
of Cos, wines even, Ka-la-nas, sweets and dry, from distant AR
Tribesmen of Gor, p 213
Water: This comes from many sources. Spring water can come from the mountains, leading into rivers and streams near Kassar. Also can come from the liana vine, carpet plants from the rain forest area inland of Schendi. There are cold bota's stored on the shelves in our cooling pit.
White Wine: No real details are given, just that a "light white wine"
was served. Many say this is the white ka-la-na, but as it is read as light
white wine all else is conjecture. Severed room temperature or chilled in
goblets.
In the hall was a open circle of small tables, at which a handful of guests,
on cushions and mats, reclined. There were four men and two women at these
tables, other than the Lady Florence, the hostess, and her guest of the past
several days, the Lady Metpomene. The tables were covered with cloths of glistening
white and a service of gold. 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.
