Qoutes on food
Foods on Gor
At my father’s insistence, I began to eat, reluctantly, never taking my eyes from him, hardly tasting the food, which was simple but excellent. The meat reminded me of venison; it was not the meat of an animal raised on domestic grains. It had been roasted over an open flame. The bread was still hot from the oven. The fruit - - grapes and peaches of some sort - - was fresh and cold as mountain snow
From Tarnsman of Gor. P 22
Sa-Tarna Bread
Then, while the other fellow took his place on the wagon box and started the ponderous draft beast into motion, he gave me two generous pieces of bread, two full wedges of Sa-Tarna bread, a fourth of a loaf. Such bread is usually baked in small, round loaves, with eight divisions in a loaf. Some smaller loaves are divided into four divisions. These division are a function, presumably, of their simplicity, the ease with which they may be made, the ease with which, even without explicit measurement, equalities may be produced.
From Kajira of Gor. P 216
Bosk
Though similar in build to the Yak of earth the Bosk bears the heavier form of the buffalo of earth and like him, provides, food, leather and many of the needs of the people of Gor. The meat may be roasted or broiled, dried,stewed or served in a myriad of ways.
From Nomads of Gor. p 4
Slave Gruel
Durbar left. In a few moments he returned with a small wooden bowl filled with dried, precooked meal. He poured some water into this. I was then handed the bowl."Mix it with your fingers," said the first man.~~~ I, mixing the water with the precooked meal, formed a sort of cold porridge or gruel. I then, with my fingers, and putting the bowl even to my lips, fell eagerly upon that thick, bland moist substance. From Kajira of Gor. P 257
Larma
"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, and perhaps more aptly, the pit fruit, because of its large single stone."
From Players of Gor. P 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. 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."
From Renegades of Gor. p 437
Cosian Whitefish
The wingfish is a tiny blue salt-water fish with 3- 4 slender poisonous spines on it's dorsal fin. It's liver is considered a delicacy in Turia.
From Nomads of Gor.p 84
Tumit
A large flightless carnivorous bird, about the size of an ostrich, having an 18'-long hooked beak. It is often eaten by the Nomads of Gor.
From Nomads of Gor. p 2
Salt - White & Red
"Most salt at Klima is white, but certain of the mines deliver red salt, red from ferrous oxide in its composition, which is called the Red Salt of Kasra, after its port of embarkation, at the juncture of the Upper and Lower Fayeen."
From Tribesmen of Gor. p 238
