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 its 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 roasted tarsk meat, and roasted gants, threaded on sticks, and rence cakes and porridges, and gourd flagons, many times replentished, of rence beer.

~ Radishes ~
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, fiberous, and heavily seeded.
{Tribesmen of Gor, page 37}
Ottar dug for the Forkbeard and myself two radishes and we, wiping the dirt from them, ate them.
{Marauders of Gor, page 102}
~ 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.
