| Chocolate "This is warmed chocolate," I said, pleased. It was very rich and creamy.� Kajira of Gor, pg. 42 Cinnamon �Do you smell it?� asked Ulafi. �Yes,� I said. �It is cinnamon and cloves, is it not?� �Yes,� said Ulafi, �and other spices, as well.� Explorers of Gor, pg. 98 Cloves �Do you smell it?� asked Ulafi. �Yes,� I said. �It is cinnamon and cloves, is it not?� �Yes,� said Ulafi, �and other spices, as well.� Explorers of Gor, pg. 98 Honey 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, pg. 87 Kanda Leaf The roots of the kanda plant, which grows largely in desert regions on Gor, are extremely toxic, but, surprisingly, the rolled leaves of this plant, which are relatively innocuous, are formed into strings and, chewed or sucked, are much favored by many Goreans, particularly in the southern hemisphere, where the leaf is more abundant. Nomads of Gor, pg. 43 Mint Sticks ...a tiny bowl of mint sticks... Explorers of Gor, pg. 10 Nutmeg 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. Tribesman of Gor, pg. 47 Nuts 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. Tribesmen of Gor, page 47 Salt The red salt of Kasra, so called from its port of embarkation, was famed on Gor. Tribesman of Gor, pg. 20 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. Tribesman of Gor, pg. 238 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, page 86 Sugar 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, page 132 With a tiny spoon, its tip no more than a tenth of a hort in diameter, she placed four measures of white sugar, and six of yellow, in the cup; with two stirring spoons, one for the white sugar, another for the yellow, she stirred the beverage after each measure. Tribesmen of Gor, page 89 Tasta 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 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 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. As the candy is held neatly in place there is very little mess in this arrangement. Similarly, as the candy is held in its fixed position, it may, in spite of its nature, be eaten, or bitten, or licked or sucked, as swiftly, or slowly, and as much at one�s leisure as one might please. These candies are usually sold at such places as parks, beaches, and promenades, at carnivals, expositions and fairs, and at various types of popular events, such as plays, song dramas, races, games, and kaissa matches. They are popular even with children. I had learned of these things from Ulrick, back at the house. I had wondered why he had summoned us to our duties and lessons, with the call, "Come, tastas!" The expression was occasionally used by men for women such as we. Kajira of Gor, pg. 81 |
