Bondmaid Gruel
Another of the bond-maids was then freed to mix the bond-maid gruel, mixing fresh water with Sa-Tarna meal, and then stirring in the raw fish.

Sullage
First she boiled and simmered a kettle of Sullage, a common Gorean soup consisting of three standard ingredients and, as it is said, whatever else may be found, saving only the rocks of the field. The principal ingredients of Sullage are the golden Sul, the starchy, golden-brown, vine-borne fruit of the golden-leaved Sul plant; the curled, red, ovate leaves of the Tur-pa, a tree parasite, cultivated in host orchids of Tur trees; and the salty, blue secondary roots of the Kes Shrub, a small, deeply rooted plant which grows best in sandy soil.

Beans, Carrots, Katch, Kes, Kort, Onions, Radishes
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 yellowish, fibrous and heavily seeded.
----Tribesmen of Gor
Corn, Pumpkins, Squash
Many of the tribes permit small agricultural communities to exist within their domains, she said. The individuals in these communities are bound to the soil and owned collectively by the tribes within whose lands they are permitted to live. They grow produce for their masters such as wagmeza and wagmu, maize or corn, and such things as pumpkins and squash.
----Savages of Gor
Garlic, Peas, Turnips
I have peas and turnips, garlic and onions in my hut, said the man, his bundle like a giant's hump on his back.
----Outlaw of Gor
Mushrooms
"Have a stuffed mushroom."
----Mercenaries of Gor
Peppers
Some of the peppers and spices, relished even by children in the Tahari districts, were sufficient to convince an average good fellow of Thentis or Ar that the roof of his mouth and his tongue were being torn out of his head
----Tribesmen of Gor
Sul
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
Sul paga is, when distilled, though the Sul itself is yellow, as clear as water. The Sul is a tuberous root of the Sul plant; it is a Gorean staple.
----Slave girl of Gor
Tur-Pah
The principal ingredients of Sullage are the golden Sul, the starchy, golden-brown, vine-borne fruit of the golden-leaved Sul plant; the curled, red, ovate leaves of the Tur-pah, a tree parasite, cultivated in host orchids of Tur trees; and the salty, blue secondary roots of the Kes Shrub, a small, deeply rooted plant which grows best in sandy soil.

Sa-Tarna
Yellow grain. Can be brewed into Paga and also ground to make Sa-Tarna Bread.
The bread is a rounded, flat loaf that is yellow in color.
Also has a brownish hybrid, grown in the Tahari and able to withstand hotter temperatures. Other grains are available on Gor, a cheaper variety is used to make Black Bread and is common of the lower castes.
Economically, the base of the Gorean life was the free peasant, which was perhaps the lowest but undoubtedly the most fundamental caste, and the staple crop was a yellow grain called Sa-Tarna, or Life Daughter.
----Tarnsman of Gor
I thought of the yellow Gorean bread, baked in the shape of round, flat loaves, fresh and hot.."
----Outlaw of Gor
The great merchant galleys of Port Kar, and Cos, and Tyros, and other maritime powers, utilized thousands of such miserable wretches, fed on brews of peas and black bread, chained in the rowing holds, under the whips of slave masters, their lives measured by feedings and beatings and the labor of the oar.

Other Foods
Candies
He yelled something raucous and ribald. 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 the stick, from the bottom, is thrust up, deeply, into it. It is then ready to be eaten.
----Dancer of Gor
Honey
"I saw small fruit trees, and hives, where honey bees were raised; and there were small sheds, here and there, with sloping roofs of boards; in some such sheds might craftsmen work, in others fish might be dried or butter made."
----Marauders of Gor
Mint Sticks
On the tray too, was the metal vessel which contained black wine, steaming and bitter from far Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, the small yellow-enamled cups from which we had drunk the black wine, its spoons and sugars, a tiny bowl of mint sticks, and the softened, dampened cloths on which we had wiped our fingers.
----Explorers of Gor
Nuts
"In the cafes I had feasted well. 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; hot bazi tea, sugared, and, later, Turian wine."
----Tribesman of Gor
Pastries
"He sat, cross-legged, behind the low table. On It were hot bread, yellow and fresh, hot black wine, steaming, with its sugars, slices of roast bosk, the scrambled eggs of vulos, pastries with creams and custards.
----Beasts of Gor
Rence
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 it�s pith is edible.
----Raiders of Gor
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
Rice
I went to the side and removed a bowl from its padded, insulating wrap. Its contents were still warm. It was a mash of cooked vulo and rice.
----Players of Gor
Salts
"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
salt, incidentally, is obtained by the men of Torvaldsland, most commonly, from sea water or the burning of sea weed. It is also, however, a trade commodity, and is sometimes taken in raids, the red and yellow salts of the south, some of which I saw on the tables, are not domestic to Torvaldsland."
----Marauders of Gor
Sugars
Many varieties though not all described.
She carried a tray, on which were various spoons and sugars. She knelt, placing her tray upon 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."
----Tribesmen of Gor
"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
Spices
"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
"Some of the peppers and spices, relished even by the children of the Tahari districts, were sufficient to convince an average good fellow of Thentis or Ar that the roof of the mouth and his tongue were being torn out of his head."
----Tribesmen of Gor
In the north generally, mead, a drink made with fermented honey and water, and often spices and such, tends to be favored over paga.
