table, 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 yellowish, fibrous and heavily seeded.
Tribesmen of Gor pg.37
Rence Cakes: A type of cake made from fried rence paste, on flat
stones, often sprinkled with rence seeds.
In a moment the woman had returned with a double handful of wet rence paste. Wen fried on flat stones it makes a kind of cake, often sprinkled with rence seeds.
Raiders of Gor pg.25
Squash: Presumably the same as squash on earth. Grown by the
Sames in the Barrens.
They grow produce for their masters, such as wagmeza and wagnu, maize, or corn, and such things as pumpkins and squash.
Savages of Gor pg.234
Sul Large thick stemmed yellow fleshed root vegetables, like a Earth potatoes.
Sul paga is, when distilled, though the Sul itself is yellow, as clear as water. The Sul is a tuberous root of the Sul plant; it is a Gorean staple
Slave girl of Gor pg.134
Turnips: As on Earth
"I have peas and turnips, garlic
and onions in my hut," said the man, his bundle like a giant's hump
on his back.
Outlaw of Gor pg.29
Tur_Pah: Parasite plants of the Tur tree, with red curly leaves.
First she boiled and simmered a kettle of Sullage, a common Gorean soup consisting of three standard ingredients and, as it is said, whatever else may be
found, saving only the rocks of the field. The principal ingredients of Sullage are the golden Sul, the starchy, golden-brown, vine-borne fruit of the golden-leaved Sul plant; the curled, red, ovate leaves of the Tur-pah, a tree parasite, cultivated in host orchids 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 pg.45
BREAD AND GRAINS.
Black Bead: Heavy baked dark bread Baked soft and full flavored. Often served with clotted bosk cream or honey.
The great merchant galleys of Port Kar, and Cos, and Tyros, and other maritime powers, utilized thousands of such miserable wretches, fed on brews of peas and black bread, chained in the rowing holds, under the whips of slave masters, their lives measured by feedings and beatings, and the labor of the oar.
Hunters of Gor pg.13
Sa-Tarna: Yellow grain that is a staple of Gor. Uses to make bread and brew paga.
Far to my left, I saw a splendid field of Sa-Tarna, bending beautifully in the wind, that tall yellow grain that forms a staple of the Gorean diet
Outlaw of Gor pg.19
Sa-Tarna Bread: yellow bread made from Sa-tarna grains.
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 round, flat loaves, with eight divisions in a loaf. Some smaller loaves are divided into four divisions.
Kajira of Gor pg.216
Slave gruel/porridge: Cold unsweetened mixture of sa-tarna grains and water, given to slaves, sometimes with raw parsit fish added.
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.
Kajira of Gor pg.257
DAIRY
Butter: Made from verr or bosk milk
She offered me a silver tray on which, hot and steaming, were wedges of Gorean bread, made from Sa-Tarna grain. It took one of them and, from the tureen, with the small silver dipper, both on the tray, poured hot butter on the bread.
Rogue of Gor pg.191
Cheese: made from verr or bosk milk
The Tarn Keeper, who was called by those in the tavern Mip, bought 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 pg.168
Eggs: from the vulo bird.
Aretic Gant Eggs: Eggs of the migratory Aretic gant: when frozen they are eaten like apples.
I stepped aside to let a young girl pass, who carried two baskets of eggs, those of the migratory arctic gant.They nest in the mountains of the Hrimgar and in steep, rocky outcroppings, called bird cliffs,found here and there jutting out of the tundra. The bird cliffs doubtless bear some geological relation to the Hrimgar chains. When such eggs are frozen they are eaten like apples.
Beasts of Gor pg.196
FISH
Caviar: Tiny eggs of the white grunt
Eel: a voracious animal which can maim or kill a slave in moments. Some varieties are edible and considered a gorean delicacy. Varieties include: river eel, black eel, and the spotted eel.
Some of these pools contain voracious eels, of various sorts, river eels, black eels, the spotted eel, and such, which are Gorean delicacies.
Magicians of Gor pg.428
Marsh Shark: Served as fillets or steaks
Oysters: Similar to Earth oysters, from the Delta or the Vosk.
Other girls had prepared the repast, which, for the war camp, was sumptuous indeed, containing even oysters from the delta of the Vosk, a portion of the plunder of a tarn caravan of Ar, such delicacies having been intended for the very table of Marlenus, the Ubar of that great city itself.
Captive of Gor pg.301
Parsit: Thin silver fish from the water of the North Torvaldslanders salt it, smoked, dried and exported in barrels.
Like the bond-maids, she had been fed only on cold Sa-Tarna porridge and scraps of dried parsit fish.
Marauders of Gor pg.56
Salt Thassa Fish: Baked or broiled
Sorp: like oysters ( with pearls) Used in stews and soups.
Vosk Carp: From the rivers Vosk, served baked, fried or broiled.

Great Speckled Grunt: A fish inhabiting the Thassa and caught as food for sailors.
Wingfish: A tiny delicacy fish (especially the liver) blue, has three or four slender spines in its dorsal fin which are poisonous, sometimes referred to as the songfish. Roasted in a Iron pan over the fire.
The blue, four-spined 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 pg.85
Thassian Lobster: Served boiled with drawn bosk butter and tospit juice. A very succulent and sensual meal for a special Master.
Tamber Gulf Oysters: From the Tambler Gulf, Tamber Golf Oysters are large, fresh served raw or baked. Perfect right before a trip to the alcoves. Watch out slaves!!.
FRUITS:
Apricots: as on earth, references exist of the fruit being sold in marketplaces of the Tahari.
I brushed away two sellers of apricots and spices.
Tribesmen of Gor pg.45
Blueberries: smuggled to Gor from Earth…very true.
Cherries: Grown in Tyros.
Dates: from Tor
A veiled woman was hawking dates by the tefa.
Tribesmen of Gor pg.46
Ka-la-na: from the ka-la-na tree of the plains of ka-la-na. Used to make wine and garnish drinks.
"Over there," I said, "are some Ka-la-na trees. Wait here and I'll gather some fruit."
Tarnsman of Gor pg.96
Larma: like an apple, singe seeded, firm with a hard shell, sweet juicy fruit, sometimes called the pit fruit, because of the large single stone. The offering of the larma fruit to a girls Master (imagined or real) is a silent plea for slave rape.
The larma is lucious. 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. Once the shell has been broken through or removed, irrevocably, there is, you see, exposed, soft, vulnerable, juicy and helpless, the interior, in the fruit, the fleshy endocarp, in the woman, the slave
Renigades of Gor pg.437
Melon: Yellow red striped spheres"Buy melons!" called a fellow next to her, lifting one of the yellowish, red-striped spheres towards me.
Tribesmen of Gor pg.45
Merlot Grapes: Dark grapes that are used to make wine.

Assassin of Gor pg.168
Pears Similar to an earth pear perhaps.
In her hand there was a half of a yellow Gorean pear, the remains of a half moon of verr cheese imbedded in it.
Explorers of Gor pg.62
Peaches. As an earths peach.
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 pg.27
Pit Fruit Also known as the hard larma, this is a firm, single-
seeded, applelike fruit.
I took a slice of hard larma from my 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
Players of Gor pg.267
Plums: As Earth Plums
I had nearly stepped into a basket of plums.
Tribesmen of Gor pg.45
Pomegranate: Hopefully similar to the earth fruit of the same
name.
Pomegranate orchards lie at the east of the oasis," I said.
Tribesmen of Gor pg.174
Raisins: For any who do not realise this, raisins are dried grapes. As the grapes on Gor might not have the exact taste of Earth grapes, raisins might be slightly different than what we're used to.
In the cafes 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
Tribesmen of Gor pg.47
Ram Berries: Small red fruit native to Gor, it is used to make jams and pies or just serve in bowls.
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 tiny plums, save for the many small seeds.
Captive of Gor pg.305
Redfruit: Sweet and similar to the apple of Earth
Ta-grapes: From the Isle of Cos, like Earth grapes and used to make wine, but may also be eaten.
The grapes were purple and,
I suppose, Ta grapes from the lower vineyards of the terraced island of Cos some four hundred pasangs from Port Kar.
Priest Kings of Gor pg.45
Tospit: Small yellow peachy fruit bitter tasting and holds a large number of seeds. Because of the bitter taste they are served candied or sliced dipped in honey.
On the back of the kaiila, the black lance in hand, bending down in the saddle, I raced past a wooden wand fixed in the earth, on the top of which was placed a dried tospit, a small, wrinkled, yellowish-white peachlike fruit, about the size of a plum, which grows on the tospit bush, patches of which are indigenous to the drier valleys of the western Cartius. They are bitter but edible.
Nomads of Gor pg.59
OTHER
Chocolate: Made from beans brought back on one of the early voyages of Acquisitions, this is the same as earths chocolate. It is served in higher class establishments.
It was a small, hard candy. It was sweet. I closed my eyes. It was the first sweet I had had since I had been brought to Gor. In the plain diet of a slave girl,
such things are very precious. Girls would fight and tear at one another for a chocolate.
Slave girl of Gor pg.216
Clove: A type of spice.
It is cinnamon and cloves, is it not?"
Explorers of Gor pg.98
Sugar: Two varieties are commonly used. The red sweet rocks and the yellow sweet rocks. It is believed that the red sweet rocks are made from fruits and the yellow sweet rocks from the juices of crushed cane stalks.
Lola now returned to the small table and, kneeling, head down, served us our dessert, slices of tospit, sprinkled with four Gorean sugars
Rogue of Gor pg.132
Bond-maid Gruel: A porridge served to bonds-maids in Torvaldsland made of dampened Sa-Tarna and raw fish.
The men who 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 pg.63
Candy: soft, rounded, succulent candies usually covered with a coating of syrup or fudge, rather in the nature of the caramel apple, but much smaller, and like a caramel apple, mounted on a stick, the candy is prepared and the stick from the bottom is thirsted up, deeply into it.
Honey: no description given. Just that honey bees are raised.
The only relief in their existence comes once a year, on the birthday of the Tatrix, when they are served a small cake, made with honey and sesame seeds, and a small pot of poor Kal-da.
Outlaw of Gor pg.150
Mint sticks: Just mentioned as tiny mint sticks in a bowl.
She picked up the small tray from the stand near the table. On it was the small vessel containing a thick, sweet liquer from distant Turia, the Ar of the south, and the two tiny glasses from which we had sipped it. On the tray, too, was the metal vessel which had contained the black wine, steaming and bitter, from far Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, the small yellow-enameled cups from which we had drunk the black wine, its spoons and sugars, a tiny bowl of mint sticks, and the softened, dampened cloths on which we had wiped our fingers
Explorers of Gor pg.10
Pastries: nothing specific mentioned in the fighting slave or Gor.
Sip root: a bitter toot whose extract is the active ingredient in slave wine.
Salt: Most salt at Klima is white, but certain of the mines deliver red salt, from ferrous oxide in its composition which is called the red salt of Kasra, after its port o f embrakation, at the juncture of the Upper and lower Fayeen.

Tribesmen of Gor pg.238
Salt, Yellow: A table salt mentioned and spoken of as "of the
south" but not otherwise described.
It had been expected, I gathered, that I would sit at one of the two long side tables, and perhaps even below the bowls of red and yellow salt which divided
these tables.
Assassin of Gor pg.86
Cinnamon: A type of spice.
"It is cinnamon and cloves, is it not?"
Explorers of Gor pg.98
Pemmican: A hardened cake of fruit, meat and berries which is a
staple item to the red savages.
There are various ways in which pemmican may be prepared, depending primarily on what one adds to 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 to 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, rounded cakes. The fruit sugars make this, in its way, a quick energy food, while the meat, of course, supplies valuable, long-lasting stamina protein. This, like the dried meat, or jerky, from which it is made, can be eaten either raw or cooked
Blood Brothers of Gor pg.46:
Sesame Seeds: Presumed the same as the earth consumable of the
same name.

Outlaw of Gor pg.150
Nuts: Undescribed but presumably similar to an earth nut of some kind, possibly peanuts or cashews. It is an import of the Tahari.
To the oases caravans bring various goods, for example, rep-cloth, embroidered cloths, silks, rugs, silver, gold, jewelries, mirrors, kailiauk tusk, perfumes, hides, skins, feathers, precious woods, tools, needles, worked leather goods, salt, nuts and spices, jungle birds, prized as pets, weapons, rough woods, sheets of tin and copper, the tea of Bazi, wool from the bounding Hurt, decorated, beaded whips, female slaves, and may other forms of merchandise

Sweetmeat: A candy like substance usually made from nuts, sugarwater, and various other ingredience.
Below me I saw a hawker of sweetmeats angrily discarding four silver-glazed, numbered clay tiles.
Assassin of Gor pg.140
Tasta: Small, round, succulent candy coated in syrup or fudge and then mounted upon a stick for easy handling and eating. Literal translation is "stick candy."
He yelled something raucous and ribald. It had to do with "tastas" or "stick candies." These are not candies, incidentally, like sticks, as, for example, licorice or peppermint sticks, but soft, rounded, succulent candies, usually covered in a coating of syrup or fudge, rather in the nature of the caramel apple, but much smaller, and, like the caramel apple, mounted on sticks. The candy is prepared and then the stick, from the bottom, is thrust up, deeply, into it. It is then ready to be eaten.

On it was the small vessel containing a thick, sweet liquer from distant Turia, the Ar of the south, and the two tiny glasses from which we had sipped it. On the tray, too, was the metal vessel which had contained the black wine, steaming and bitter, from far Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, the small yellow-enameled cups from which we had drunk the black wine, its spoons and sugars, a tiny bowl of mint sticks, and the softened, dampened cloths on which we had wiped our fingers

Salt, Yellow: A table salt mentioned and spoken of as "of the
south" but not otherwise described.
It had been expected, I gathered, that I would sit at one of the two long side tables, and perhaps even below the bowls of red and yellow salt which divided
these tables.

"It is cinnamon and cloves, is it not?"

Pemmican: A hardened cake of fruit, meat and berries which is a
staple item to the red savages.
There are various ways in which pemmican may be prepared, depending primarily on what one adds to 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 to 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, rounded cakes. The fruit sugars make this, in its way, a quick energy food, while the meat, of course, supplies valuable, long-lasting stamina protein. This, like the dried meat, or jerky, from which it is made, can be eaten either raw or cooked

Sesame Seeds: Presumed the same as the earth consumable of the

Tasta: Small, round, succulent candy coated in syrup or fudge and then mounted upon a stick for easy handling and eating. Literal translation is "stick candy."
He yelled something raucous and ribald. It had to do with "tastas" or "stick candies." These are not candies, incidentally, like sticks, as, for example, licorice or peppermint sticks, but soft, rounded, succulent candies, usually covered in a coating of syrup or fudge, rather in the nature of the caramel apple, but much smaller, and, like the caramel apple, mounted on sticks. The candy is prepared and then the stick, from the bottom, is thrust up, deeply, into it. It is then ready to be eaten.

Sullage: A common soup made of suls, kes, and tur-pah as well as anything else that is handy at the tim
First she boiled and simmered a kettle of Sullage, a common Gorean soup consisting of three standard ingredients and, as it is said, whatever else may be found, saving only the rocks of the field. The principal ingredients of Sullage are the golden Sul, the starchy, golden-brown, vine-borne fruit of the golden-leaved Sul plant; the curled, red, ovate leaves of the Tur-pa, a tree parasite, cultivated in host orchids of Tur trees; and the salty, blue secondary roots of the Kes Shrub, a small, deeply rooted plant which grows best in sandy soil.
