Ale-like a strong beer.......stored in kegs and served in tankards.
Bazi Tea--A tea used for a ceremonial serve signifying the three stages of life....
heavily sugared...and ceremonial... served in three tiny cups...first cup signifying past...second...present...and third,.,future
There was a cup and a pitcher of Bazi tea on the counter. Bazi tea is a common beverage on Gor. Many Goreans are fond of it.
From Kajira of Gor. P 332
"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."
From Tribesmen of Gor. p 89
Blackwyne--is like earth coffee so even though scrolls have it similar to espresso...many serve it in larger mugs....now common in Gor...coffee traditionally served heavily sweetened and creamed...served in small cups...although mugs may be used...
**1st slave...heavily sweetened and creamed
**2nd slave... black
it is referred to as such as the first slave is the slave that added the cream and sugars.. the second slave was the one that poured the drink
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 origon 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.
From Kajia of Gor. P 73
Chocolate--like earth chocolate.......served--hot in heavy mugs or chilled in goblets.......
"This is warmed chocolate," I said, pleased. It was very rich and creamy.
"Yes Mistress." said the girl.
"I is very good," I said.
"Thank you, Mistress," she said.
"Is it from Earth?" I asked.
"Not directly," she said. "Many things here, of course, ultimately have an Earth origin. It is not improbable that the beans from which the firt cacao trees on this world were grown were brought from Earth."
From Kajira of Gor. p61
Juices--made from any single fruit or combination of fruits...served--very thick and diluted with red fruit, apricot, peach or pear juice before serving....in Goblets
*apricot or red fruit...can be served alone....
*topspit must be sweetened well before ^topspit is very bitter^
**ramberry comes in small quantities supposed to be used in combination of other juices as an accent.
Ka-la-na--dry red wine...and many would disagree...but white as well... in Tribesmen..,, Tarl described it at first as a "clear, almost incandescent liquid" this is best when served at room temperature...but one has seen it often served chilled....served in Goblets An "almost incandescent wine, bright, dry, and powerful", the color of the wine varies from gold to white to red-gold and deliciously fragrant. It is distilled from the fruit of the Ka-la-na tree. The sweetest wine originates from the Plains of Ka-la-na. This wine symbolizes romantic love. In Treve some prefer it heated to different degrees. It is served in a goblet (not silver), chilled or at room temperature.I went to his locker near the mat and got out his Ka-la-na flask, taking a long draught myself and then shoving it into his hands. He drained the flask in one drink and wiped his hand across his beard, stained with the red juice of the fermented drink.
Tarnsman of Gor, page 168
Kal-da--hot drink made from ^cheaper grade^ of kalana mixed with citrus juices and stinging spices and has sliced fruits in it as well....served-- in a bowl or goblet as well.
"Kalda is a hot drink, almost scalding, made of diluted Kalana wine, mixed with citrus juices and stinging spices. I did not care much for the mouth warming concoction, but it was popular with some of the lower castes, particularly those whom performed strenuous manual labor. I expected its popularity was due more to 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) than to any gustatory excellence. Moreover, where there was Kal-da there should be bread and meat. I thought of the yellow Gorean bread, baked in the shape of round, flat loaves, fresh and hot; My mouth watered for a tabuk steak or, perhaps, if I were lucky, a slice of roast tarsk, the formidable six tusked wild boar of Gor`s temperate forests." pg 76 Outlaw of GOR
Liqueurs--variety made from spices and fruit...occasionally made from blackwine, nuts and chocolate...
served in tiny stemmed glasses....the bottles are highly decorative as well.^very sweet and heavy^
Mead--made from fermented honey water and spices....served in a large horn...poured from a bota or bottle best when room temp or chilled.**Mistress's generally prefer a cup....***
"Here Jarl," said Thyri, again handing me the horn. It was filled with the mead of Torvaldsland, brewed from fremented honey, think and sweet.Marauders of Gor, page 90
Milk--There are three general kinds of Milk on Gor.... Bosk, Verr, kailla...
this is served depending on how it is wished....mostly in a goblet poured from a pitcher though.
"...the suckling of the young in the sand kalila is a valuable trait in the survival of the animal; 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 sulphateTribesman of Gor; page 71
"By one fire I could see a squat Tuchuk, hands on hips, dancing and stamping about by himself, drunk on fermented milk curds, dancing, according to Kamchak, to please the Sky."
page 28, Nomads of Gor
The Wagon Peoples grow no food, nor do they have manufacturing as we know it. They are herders a, and it is said, killers. They eat nothing that has touched the dirt. They live on the meat and milk of the bosk. They are among the proudest peoples on Gor, regarding the dwellers of the cities of Gor as vermin in holes, cowards who must fly behind walls, wretches who fear to live beneath the broad sky, who dare not dispute them the open, windswept plains of their world.
page 5; Nomads of Gor
Paga--grain based distilled hard liquer *like earths whiskey*
paga bowls are heavy three footed...botas of paga for traveling...otherwise bottles.... can be chilled ...room temp...or hot...
I decided, if worse came to worse, that I could always go to a simple Paga Tavern where, if those of Tharna resembled those of Ko-ro-ba and Ar, one might, curled in a rug behind the low tables, unobtrusively spend the night for the price of a pot of Paga, a strong, fermented drink brewed from the yellow grains of Gor's staple crop, Sa-Tarna, or Life Daughter. The expression is related to Sa-Tassna, the expression for meat, or for food in general, which means Life-Mother. Paga is a corruption of Pagar-Sa-Tarna, which means Pleasure of the Life Daughter
Outlaw of Gor. pg 74-75
Rence Beer--clearish light beer..can be served in either goblet or tankard.At such times there is drinking of rence beer, steeped, boiled and fermented from crushed seeds and the whitish pith of the plant; Raiders of Gor page 18
Sul Paga--alcoholic beverage made from suls...very potent..*like a potent form of earths vodka*
there is a quote that describes the strength of this drink.....
"Sul paga, as anyone knew, is seldom available outside of a peasant village, where it is brewed. Sul paga would slow a tharlarion. To stay on your feet after a mouthful of Sul paga it is said one must be of the peasants, and then for several generations. And even then it is said, it is difficult to manage. There is a joke about the baby of a peasant father being born drunk nine months later" pg 414 Slave Girl of GOR
Ta-wyne--dry wine made from ta-grapes...commomenly red...but some white versions
the red varieties are generally room temperature.....the white is chilled..."It was Ta wine, from the Ta grapes of the terraces of Cos...In the last year heavy import duties had been levied by the high council of Vonda against the wines of certain other cities, in particular against the Ka-la-nas of Ar."
Fighting Slave of Gor, page 306
Tea--many types..can be served with herbs..always bring the teapot to the Master/Mistress...after filling with hot water...letting the pot warm...them dumping and filling with fresh hot water.Turian Liquor-Thick sweet liquors, served in tiny glasses, rather like the dessert wines of Earth. Turian liquors are said to be some of the best liquors on Gor.
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-Thick syrupy wines, flavored and sugared to the point where one could almost leave their fingerprint upon the surface of the drink. It is a very acquired taste.
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.
Nomads of Gor, page 83-84
Water--spring ...or from liana vines or carpet plants from the rain forest...served in goblets...commonly with ice.
Wine--generally diluted a bit with water from its potency...served in chilled goblets...or sometimes just regular goblets."In a Gorean supper in a house of wealth, in the course of the supper, with varied courses, eight to ten wines might be served, each suitably and congruously matched with respect to texture and bouquet not only to one another but to the accompanying portions of food."
Fighting Slave of Gor, page 277
"The first wine, a light white wine, was being deferentially served..."
Fighting Slave of Gor, page 276
