| � Ale Served in: Tankard or horn From: Kegs/barrels/cask Details: Richly golden, made from imported hops, honey lager The Forkbeard himself now, from a wooden keg, poured a great tankard of ale, which must have been of the measure of five gallons. Over this he then closed his fist. It was the sign of the hammer, the sign of Thor. The tankard then, with two great bronze handles, was passed from hands to hands among the rowers. The men threw back their heads and, the liquid spilling down their bodies, drank ale. It was the victory ale. Marauders of Gor, page 99 � Bazi Tea Need: 3 small cups, pot of tea, tray Prepare: Heat water over brazier, add 3 pinches of tea leaves from jar, 3 measures of sugar, stir once - Take pot and cups on tray to pour and serve at the feet of the Free Details: Highly sugared for energy - Tribe nomads, expensive ..measuring the tea, from a tiny tin box .. tiny copper kettle on the small stand. A tiny kaiila-dung fire burned under it. A small, heavy, curved glass was nearby, on a flat box, which would hold some two ounces of the tea. Bazi tea is drunk in tiny glasses, usually three at a time, carefully measured. Tribesman of Gor, pg. 139 Tea is extremely important to the nomads. It is served hot and heavily sugared. It gives them strength then, in virtue of the sugar, and cools them, by making them sweat, as well as stimulating them. It is drunk three small cups at a time, carefully measured. Tribesman of Gor, pg. 38 � Black wine Need: Bowl (standard) or cup, pot, tray, cream, 2 SUGARS -yellow,white-, 3 spoons Need: 2nd slave - 'as is' in a bowl (standard) or cup Prepare: Brew water and clean rep-cloth bag of fresh ground beans over brazier. At the table, add amount of sugar requested, either color first. Use one spoon to stir only once around the vessel. Repeat for second sugar, Repeat for cream, if desired. Offer vessel. Details: Very expensive, Voyages of Acquisition brought coffee beans I brought up from the kitchen, where I had been keeping it hot, a vessel of black wine, with sugars, and cups and spoons. Too, I had brought up a small bowl of powdered bosk milk. Guardsman of Gor, pg. 295 Soon I smelled the frying of vulo eggs in a large, flat pan, and the unmistakable odor of coffee, or as the Goreans express it, black wine. The beans grow largely on the slopes of the Thentis mountains. The original beans, I suppose, had been brought, like certain other Gorean products, from Earth; it is not impossible, of course, that the opposite is the case, that black wine is native to Gor and that the origin of Earth�s coffee beans is Gorean; I regard this as unlikely, however, because black wine is far more common on Earth than on Gor, where it is, except for the city of Thentis, a city famed for her tarn flocks, and her surrounding villages, a somewhat rare and unusual luxury. Slave Girl of Gor, pg. 73 I grinned, and washed down the eggs with a swig of hot black wine, prepared from the beans grown upon the slopes of the Thentis mountains. This black wine is quite expensive. Men have been slain on Gor for attempting to smuggle the beans out of the Thentian territories. Beasts of Gor, pg. 21 Second Slave: "Second slave," I told her, which, among the river towns, and in certain cities, particularly in the north, is a way of indicating that I would take the black wine without creams or sugars, and as it came from the pouring vessel, which, of course, in these areas, is handled by the "second slave," the first slave being the girl who puts down the cups, takes the orders and sees that the beverage is prepared according to the preferences of the one who is being served. Guardsman of Gor, pg. 245 First Slave: IRC-ism! There is no reference to black wine being ordered "First Slave" in the books! In the Tahari and southern cities: From one side a slave girl, barefoot, bangled, in sashed, diaphanous, trousered chalwar, gathered at the ankles, in tight, red-silk vest, with bare midriff, fled to him, with the tall, graceful, silvered pot-containing the black wine. She was veiled. She knelt, replenishing the drink. Beneath her veil I saw the metal of her collar. I had not thought to have such fortune. She did not look at me. She returned to her place with the pot of black wine. Ibn Saran lifted another finger. From the side there hastened to him another girl, a fair-skinned, red-haired girl. She, too, wore veil, vest, chalwar, bangles, collar. She carried a tray, on which were various spoons and sugars. She knelt, placing her tray on the table. 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. She then held the cup to the side of her cheek, testing its temperature; Ibn Saran glanced at her; she, looking at him, timidly kissed the side of the cup and placed it before him. Then, her head down, she withdrew. I did not turn to look back at the first girl, she who held the silvered pot. Tribesman of Gor, pg. 88 � Breeding Wine Served in: Bowl Details: Very bitter; not enjoyable! Note: This is a releaser for the effects of slave wine. ...usually requiring a releaser for its remission, usually administered, to a slave, in which is called the breeding wine, or the "second wine." When this is administered she usually knowns that she has been selected for crossing with a handsome male slave. Blood Brothers of Gor, p 319 The active ingredient in the breeding wine, or the "second wine," is a derivative of teslik. In the matter of bitterness of taste there is little to choose from between raw sip root and slave wine, the emulsive qualities of the slave wine being offset to some extent by the strength of the concentrations involved. Blood Brothers of Gor, pg. 320 � Falarian Wine Served in: Goblet From: Bottle, bring the bottle to the fur of the Free and pop cork with teeth Details: Very rare! ... a wine supposedly secret, the rare Falarian, a wine only rumored among collectors to exist, a wine supposedly so rare and precious that its cost might purchase a city. Mercenaries of Gor, Ch. 15 "There will be delicacies from as far away as Bazi and Anango, she said, "and we shall open vessels of Falarian from the private stores of the Ubar." Magicians of Gor, pg. 157 � Juice Served in: goblet, cup Details: Fresh squeezed? Other juices? Ta grape, ramberry? I purchased some larma juice for a tarsk bit. "Is it cool," I asked. "Yes," she said. Mercenaries of Gor, pg 25 � Ka-la-na Wine Variation: Can be mulled = 3 pinches of spices and a larma slice Served in: Goblet From: Bottle, bring the bottle to the fur of the Free and pop cork with teeth Details: RED, fruit of yellow ka-la-na tree, aphrodisiac to women. The guards had liked us, muchly, and had apparently expected that they would for, to our delight, they had purchased a small bottle of Ka-la-na wine, in a wicker basket, which they had permitted us, swallow by swallow, to share. I had never tasted so rich and delicate a wine on Earth, and yet here, on this world, it cost only a copper tarn disk and was so cheap, and plentiful, that it might be given even to a female slave. I remembered each of the four swallows which I had had. I tasted them even still, with the meat and bread which I had eaten. It was the first Gorean fermented beverage which I had tasted. It is said that Ka-la-na has an unusual effect on a female. I think it is true. I took the hand of the guard near whom I knelt, and placed it at my waist, slipping his fingers inside the double loop of binding fiber that belted my camisk, that he might hold me. His fist suddenly tightened the loop, and I gasped, being suddenly drawn toward him. We looked at one another. "What are you going to do with me, Master?" I asked. He laughed. "You silken little sleen," he said. He removed his hand from the binding fiber. Captive of Gor, page 115 I turned the bottle so that she might read the label. It was a small bottle of Boleto�s Nectar of the Public Slave Gardens. Boleto is a well-known winegrower from the vicinity of Ar. He is famous for the production of a large number of reasonably good, medium-grade ka-la-nas. This was one of the major wines, and perhaps the best, served in Ar�s public slave gardens, indeed it had originally been commissioned for that m Mercenaries of Gor, pg. 360 �What would you like?� I asked. �Perhaps a tiny glass of ka-la-na,� she said, �among friends.� I looked to the left, Louise, as she had been bidden was watching. I lifted my finger. The Earth girl then leapt up and hurried to the table. At the table she knelt. �A small bottle, I said, �of the Slave Gardens of Anesidemus.� �I have heard that is a marvelous ka-la-na,� said the free woman, her eyes alight. �So, too, have I,� I said. �It is very expensive,� said the woman. �Are you familiar with it,� I asked. �Oh,� she said, lightly, �I have had it a few times.� �Do you like it?� I asked. �Yes,� she said. �Yes!� � Kal-da Need: Tankard or goblet, Clay Pot, Tray Prepare: In a cooper pot, heat cheap ka-la-na wine, 3 pinches of spices (jar in kitchen), and tospit juice, ladle into clay pot and serve at furs Details: HOT, sharp taste Kal-da is a hot drink, almost scalding, made of diluted Ka- la-na wine, mixed with citrus juices and stinging spices.. mouth-burning concoction..popular with some of the lower castes.. its capacity to warm a man and stick to his ribs, and to its cheapness (a poor grade of Ka- la-na wine being used in its brewing).. Outlaw of Gor, pg. 76 � Mead Served in: Tankard (standard) or horn From: Keg/barrel/cask Details: Fermented honey -spiced but sweet, Torvaldsland preferred ...again handing me the horn. It was filled with the mead of Torvaldsland, brewed from fermented honey, thick and sweet. Marauders of Gor, pg. 90 � Milk Served in: Cup, goblet Details: Bosk milk for drinking, verr and kaiila milk for cheeses. Too, I had brought up a small bowl of powdered bosk milk. Guardsman of Gor, pg. 295 I heard the lowing of milk bosk from among the wagons. Nomads of Gor, pg. 27 The smell of fruit and vegetables, and verr milk, was strong. Savages of Gor, pg. 61 ...kaiila milk, which is used, like verr milk, by the peoples of the Tahari, is reddish, and has a strong, salty taste; it contains much ferrous sulphate Tribesman of Gor, pg. 71 "We are passing another market," I said. "Verr milk, Masters!'' I heard called. "Verr milk, Masters!" I opened the slats a tiny crack. I wished to see if she were pretty. She was, in her tunic and collar, kneeling on a white blanket, spread on the cement, with the brass container of verr milk, with its strap, near her, and the tiny brass cups. She was extremely lightly complexioned and had very red hair. "Verr milk, Masters," she called. Slaves may buy and sell in the name of their masters, but they cannot, of course, buy and sell for themselves because they are only animals. It is rather for them to be themselves bought and sold, as the masters might please. Savages of Gor, pg. 60 � Paga Sa Tarna Served in: kantharos, goblet, bowl From: Kegs, bottles, paga vessel (tavern) Details: Warming will quicken the reaction. Brewed from yellow Sa-Tarna grains. Golden in color Paga, a strong, fermented drink brewed from the yellow grains of Gor's staple crop, Sa-Tarna, or Life- Daughter... Paga is a corruption of Pagar-Sa-Tarna, which means Pleasure of the Life-Daughter. Outlaw of Gor, pg. 74 � Palm Wine Served in: goblet From: Bottle, take to the fur of the one you serve and pop cork with teeth. Details: None available Schendi�s most significant exports are doubtless spice and hides, with kailiauk horn and horn products also being of great importance. One of her most delicious exports is palm wine. Explorers of Gor, pg. 115 � Rence Beer Served in: Tankard From: Keg/barrel/cask Details: Would, most likely, not be available too far from the Rencers. (Port Kar and surrounding area) At such times there is drinking of rence beer, steeped, boiled and fremented from crushed seeds and the whitish pith of the plant Raiders of Gor, pg. 18 � Slave Wine Served in: Bowl Details: Very bitter, not pleasant at all. Slave wine is bitter, intentionally so. Its effect lasts for more than a Gorean month. I did not wish the females to conceive. A female slave is taken off slave wine only when it is her master's intention to breed her. Marauders of Gor, page 23 Sip roots are extremely bitter. Slave wine, incidentally, is made from sip roots. The slaves of the red savages, like slaves generally on Gor, would be crossed and bred only as, and precisely as, their masters might choose. Blood Brothers of Gor, page 124 This is not really a wine, or an alcoholic beverage. It is called "slave wine," I think, for the amusement of the masters. It is extremely bitter. Dancer of Gor, pg. 174 � Sul paga Served in: Kantharos, goblet, bowl From: Bottles, paga vessel (tavern) Details: Paga distilled through suls, it is clear and almost tasteless "Sul paga is, when distilled, though the Sul itself is yellow, as clear as water...for Sul paga is almost tasteless. One does not guzzle Sul paga." Slave Girl of Gor, pg. 134 Sul paga, as anyone knew, is seldom available outside of a peasant village, where it is brewed. Slave Girl of Gor, pg. 414 � Ta Wine Served in: Goblet From: Bottle, bring bottle to furs Details: Grapes from Cos Ta wine, from the famed Ta grapes of the Cosian terraces. Beasts of Gor, pg. 98 � Turian Liqueur Served in: Small glasses From: Small vessels (bottles?) Details: None available She picked up the small tray from the stand near the table. On it was the small vessel containing a thick, sweet liqueur from distant Turia, the Ar of the south, and the two tiny glasses from which we had sipped it. Exlporers of Gor, page 10 � Turian Wine Served in: Tall goblets, bring bowls of sugars and spices with stirring spoons From: Small vessels (bottles?) Details: None available ...tall precious goblets filled with Turian wines, the small bowls of spices and sugars with their stirring spoons at hand. Nomads of Gor, pg. 253 I did not much care for the sweet, syrupy wines of Turia, flavored and sugared to the point where one could almost leave one's fingerprint on their surface.
