Apricot
I brushed away two sellers of apricots and spices.
----Tribesmen of Gor
Chokecherry
Crushed fruit, usually chokecherries, is then added to the meat. The whole, then, is mixed with, and fixed by, kailiauk fat, subsequently, usually, being divided into small, flattish, rounded cakes. The fruit sugars make this, in its way, a quick energy food, while the meat, of course, supplies valuable, long lasting stamina protein.
----Blood Brothers of Gor
Dates
The principal export of the oasis are dates, or pressed-date bricks.
----Tribesmen of Gor
A veiled woman was hawking dates by the tefa.
----Tribesmen of Gor
Ka-la-na Fruit
"Over there," I said, "are some Ka-la-na trees. Wait here and I'll gather some fruit."
----Tarnsman of Gor
Larma
The larma is lucious. It has a rather hard shell but the shell is brittle and easily broken. Within, the fleshy endocarp, the fruit, is delicious, and very juicy. Sometimes, when a woman is referred to as a "larma," it is suggested that her hard or frigid exterior conceals a rather different sort of interior, one likely to be quite delicious. Once the shell has been broken through or removed, irrevocably, there is, you see, exposed, soft, vulnerable, juicy and helpless, the interior, in the fruit, the fleshy endocarp, in the woman, the slave.
----Renegades of Gor
Melon
"Buy melons!" called a fellow next to her, lifting one of the yellowish, red-striped spheres towards me
----Tribesmen of Gor
Peach
Another device, common in Port Kar, is for the girl to kneel before the master and put her head down and lift her arms, offering him fruit, usually a larma or a yellow Gorean peach, ripe and fresh.
----Tribesmen of Gor
Pit Fruit
I took a slice of hard larma from my tray. This is a firm, single-seeded, applelike fruit. It is quite unlike the segmented, juicy larma. It is sometimes called, and perhaps more aptly, the pit fruit, because of its large single stone.
----Players of Gor
Plums
I had nearly stepped into a basket of plums.
----Tribesmen of Gor
Ram-berries
A guard was with us, and we were charged with filling our leather buckets with ram-berries, a small, reddish fruit with edible seeds, not unlike tiny plums, save for the many small seeds.
----Captive of Gor
Red olives
Clitus, too, had brought two bottles of Ka-la-na wine, a string of eels, cheese of the Verr, and a sack of red olives from the groves of Tyros.
----Raiders of Gor
Ta-Grapes
The grapes were purple and, I suppose, Ta grapes from the lower vineyards of the terraced island of Cos some four hundred pasangs from Port Kar.
----Priest Kings of Gor
Tospit
On the back of the kaiila, the black lance in hand, bending down in the saddle, I raced past a wooden wand fixed in the earth, on the top of which was placed a dried tospit, a small, wrinkled, yellowish-white peachlike fruit, about the size of a plum, which grows on the tospit bush, patches of which are indigenous to the drier valleys of the western Cartius. They are bitter but edible.
----Nomads of Gor
There are many other fruits on Gor, such as berries, cherries, various grapes, melons, olives, pears, plums, raisins etc though without definitions on all, can only be presumed close to the Earth varieties.
Offering fruit
I idley observed the dancer. Her eyes were on me. It seemed, in her hands, she held ripe fruits for me, lush larma, fresh picked. Her wrists were close together, as though confined by the links of slave bracelets. She touched the imaginary larma to her body, caressing her swaying beauty with it, and then, eyes piteous, held her hands forth, as though begging me to accept the lush fruit. Men at the table clapped their hands on the wood, and looked at me. Others smote their left shoulder. I smiled.
----Tribesmen of Gor
On Gor, the female slave, desiring her master, yet sometimes fearing to speak to him, frightened that she may be struck, has recourse upon occasion to certain devices. Another device, common in Port Kar, is for the girl to kneel before the master and put her head down and lift her arms, offering him fruit, usually larma, or a yellow Gorean peach, ripe and fresh.
----Tribesmen of Gor
Meats
Bosk
The Wagon Peoples grow no food, nor do they have manufacturing as we know it. They are herders and it is said, killers. They eat nothing that has touched dirt. They live on the meat and milk of the bosk.
----Nomads of Gor
Tabuk
and in the same case but in a different corner was a small herd, no more than five adult animals, a proud male and four does, of tabuk, the single-horned, golden Gorean antelope.
----Priest Kings of Gor
Tarsk
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.
----Outlaw of Gor
Tumit
I gathered that the best season for hunting tumits, the large, flightless carnivorous birds of the southern plains, was at hand, for Kamchak, Harold, and others seemed to be looking forward to it with great eagerness.
----Nomads of Gor
Verr
The verr was a mountain goat indigenous to the Voltai. It was a wild, agile, ill-tempered beast, long-haired and spiral-horn.
----Priest-Kings of Gor
Vulo
She had been carrying a wicker basket containing vulos, domesticated pigeons raised for eggs and meat.
----Nomads of Gor
Gant
"I heard a bird, some forty or fifty yards to my right; it sounded like a marsh gant, a small, horned, web-footed aquatic fowl, broad-billed and broad-winged. Marsh girls, the daughters of Rence growers, sometimes hunt them with throwing sticks."
----Raiders of Gor
Seafood
Cosian Wingfish
The blue, four-spined wingfish is found only in the waters of Cos. Larger varieties are found farther out to sea. The small blue fish is regarded as a great delicacy, and its liver as the delicacy of delicacies.
----Nomads of Gor
Eel
Some of these pools contain voracious eels, of various sorts, river eels, black eels, the spotted eel, and such, which are Gorean delicacies.
----Magicians of Gor
Grunts and White-Bellied Grunts
Great Specled - a fish inhabiting the Thassa and caught as food for sailors.
----Slave Girl of Gor
"Three other men of the Forkbeard attended to fishing, two with a net, sweeping it along the side of the serpent, for parsit fish, and the third, near the stem, with a hook and line, baited with vulo liver, for the white-bellied grunt.
----Marauders of Gor
Oysters
Other girls had prepared the repast, which, for the war camp, was sumptuous indeed, containing even oysters from the delta of the Vosk, a portion of the plunder of a tarn caravan of Ar, such delicacies having been intended for the very table of Marlenus, the Ubar of that great city itself.
----Captive of Gor
Parsit Fish
The Parsit current is the main eastward current above the polar basin. It is called the parsit current for it is followed by several varieties of migrating parsit, a small, narrow, usually striped fish.
----Beasts of Gor
Sorp
Sorp is a shellfish, common esp. in the Vosk river, similar to an oyster; like an oyster, it manufactures pearls. Often used in making soups and stews.
----Nomads of Gor
White Grunt Eggs
Before each guest there were tiny slices of tospit and larma, small pastries, and in a tiny golden cup, with a small golden spoon, the clustered black tiny eggs of the white grunt.
----Fighting Slave of Gor
There are also many other types of seafood on Gor, shark, crayfish etc. Once again without definitions, can only be assumed to be like Earth varieties.
Dairy
Arctic Gant Eggs
I stepped aside to let a young girl pass, who carried two baskets of eggs, those of the migratory artic gant. They nest in the mountains of the Hrimgar and in steep, rocky outcroppings, called bird cliffs, found here and there jutting out of the tundra. The bird cliffs doubtless bear some geological relation to the Hrimgar chains. When such eggs are frozen they are eaten like apples. ----Beasts of Gor
Butter
Churned from Bosk or Verr milk.
Olga, he said, there is butter to be churning in the churning shed.Yes, my Jarl, said she, holding her skirt up, running from the place of our exercises.
----Marauders of Gor
Cheese
Made from the milk of the Bosk or Verr.
The Tarn Keeper, who was called by those in the tavern Mip, bought the food, bosk steak and yellow bread, peas and Torian olives, and two golden-brown, starchy Suls, broken open and filled with melted bosk cheese.
----Assassin of Gor
Clitus, too, had brought two bottles of Ka-la-na wine, a string of eels, cheese of the Verr and a sack of red olives from the groves of Tyros.
----Raiders of Gor
Vulo Eggs
Soon, I smelled the frying of vulo eggs in a large, flat pan.
