~ Beans, Carrots, Katch, & Kort ~ 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, onions, 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}
~ Cabbage ~ I saw too, fields, fenced with rocks, in the sloping area. In them were growing, small at this season, shafts of Sa-Tarna; too, there would be peas, and beans, cabbages and onions, and patches of the golden sul, capable of surviving at this latitude. {Marauders of Gor, page 81}
"But not all of us," said pumpkin, "are as strong and good as carrot and cabbage." {Savages of Gor, page 292}
~ Corn/Maize, Pumpkins, & Squash ~ "Many of the tribes permit small agricultural communities to exist within their domains," she said. The individuals within these communities are bound to the soil and owned collectively by the tribes within whose lands they are permitted to live. They grow produce for their masters such as wagmeza and wagmu, maize or corn, and such things as pumpkins and squash. {Savages of Gor, page 233}
~ Kes Shrub Roots ~ One of the principle ingredients of Sullage, a common Gorean soup
The principle 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, as small, deeply rooted plant which grows best in sandy soil. {Priest-Kings of Gor, page 45}
~ Onions ~ ... vulo stew with raisins, nuts, onions, and honey. {Tribesmen of Gor, page 47}
"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, page 29}
~ 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}
