Typical Meals served on Gor

In an inn, in the city of Ar:
Cold bosk
Peas
I had spent the night following the game in an inn, had washed away the mark and this morning, early, when I had arisen, had placed it again on my forehead. After a bit of cold bosk, some water and a handful of peas, I had come the House of Cernus.
Assassin

Served from the kitchens of the House of Cernus the Slaver, in Ar
Black wine
Bread
Honey
Fried Tarsk
Vulo eggs
Larma
"What is that I smell?" I asked.
"Black wine," said she, "from the Mountains of Thentis."
I had heard of black wine, but had never had any. It is drunk in Thentis, but I had never heard of it being much drunk in any of the other cities.
"Bring two bowls." I said.
Assassin

"And put bread over the fire," I said, "and honey, and the eggs of vulos, and fried tarsk meat and a Torian larma fruit."
Assassin

In the House of Samos, in Port Kar :
hot yellow bread
black wine
slices of roast bosk
Scrambled vulo eggs
pastries with creams and custards
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

Served from the kitchens in the House of Cernus the Slaver, in Ar:
Tarsk
Yellow Bread
Honey
Peas
Kalana served in tankard

The food at the table of Cernus was good, but it was plain, rather severe, like the master of the House. 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

Served from the kitchen of a Tavern in Ar:
Bosk steak
Torian olives
Peas
Yellow bread
Suls with melted bosk cheese
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

Served in the Cylinder of the Administrator of Koroba:
Roasted Meat
Bread
Peaches & grapes
Kalana
At my father's insistence, I began to eat, reluctantly, never taking my eyes from him, hardly tasting the food, which was simple but excellent. The meat reminded me of venison; it was not the meat of an animal raised on domestic grains. It had been roasted over an open flame. The bread was still hot from the oven. The fruit - grapes and peaches of some sort - was fresh and as cold as mountain snow. After the meal I tasted the drink, which might not inappropriately be described as an almost incandescent wine, bright, dry, and powerful. I learned later it was called Ka-la-na.
Tarnsman

Served from the kitchen of a Kal-da shop in Tharna:
Bread
Honey
Salt
Roasted Tarsk
The proprietor arrived with hot bread, honey, salt and, to my delight, a huge, hot roasted chunk of tarsk. I crammed my mouth with food and washed it down with another thundering draught of Kal-da.
Outlaw

Dinner for slaves one night in Laura:
Bread
Roast tarsk
bosk milk
The smell of roast tarsk became stronger and, to our delight, the wagons turned and rolled into one of the huge warehouses. The floor was smooth. When we were inside the doors were closed. Then, kneeling, delighted, we were fed bread and roast tarsk, and hot bosk milk.
Captive

Served in Port Kar:
Bottles of kalana
String of eels
Verr cheese
Red olives from Tyros
Roast Tarsk
Suls
Peppers from Tor
Yellow Sa-Tarna bread
I was pleased to see them join with us in our festivities, helping us to make our feast. 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.
We greeted him with cheers.
Telima had prepared a roast tarsk, stuffed with suls and peppers from Tor.
There were great quantities of the yellow Sa-Tarna bread, in its rounded, six-part loaves.
Raiders

Served in the Great Hall of Bosk in Port Kar:
Whole roasted tarsk
Larma
Suls
Turpah
The slave boy, Fish, had emerged from the kitchen, holding over his head on a large silver platter a whole roasted tarsk, steaming and crisped, basted, shining under the torchlight, a larma in its mouth, garnished with suls and Tur-pah.
Raiders

Paga & Ka-la-na served to the men of a Slavers House, following the meal, in Ar:
Following the meal, I understood, in the House of Cernus, is a time for the pleasure and recreation of the men. There are games and sports, and wagers and song. Paga and Ka-la-na are then, when Cernus would leave, brought forth.
Assassin

In a tavern in Lydius:
Bread
Bosk
Grapes
Paga
We took a table, an inconspicuous one, near the rear of the paga tavern, yet one with an unimpeded view. The short-bodied girl was indeed superb. Aside from her chains, confining her wrists and ankles, she wore only her collar.
There was a flash of slave bells at my side, and a dark-haired, yellow-silked girl, a paga girl, knelt beside us, where we sat cross-legged behind the small table. "Paga, Masters?"
"For three," said I, expansively. "And bring bread and bosk, and grapes."
"Yes, Master."
Hunters

"Sit," invited Tasdron, and we took places about the low table, sitting about it, cross-legged. Callisthenes put his helmet beside the table and threw back his cloak. His tunic bore the insignia of Port Cos. Peggy knelt before the table and began to place the cups, the vessels, and plates on the table. One plate was of meat, another of breads, another of sliced fruits, the fourth of nuts and cheeses. Each of us, with our fingers, would eat as we wished from the common plates. She had brought, too, paga, Cosian wine and water.
Rogue

Tray of fruit
Flask of wine
I turned and saw a female slave, in a rep-cloth kitchen tunic, stained with food, approaching, bearing a tray of fruit with a flask of wine. She was followed by a guard.
Assassin

Ta grapes
"Fetch Ta grapes from the kitchen," I told her.
Raiders

"Master," said Constance, "there is food." She served me the hot bosk meat, the yellow bread, warm and fresh, and the wine.
Beasts

At tarn races, different vendors offer tidbits:
Candies
Sweetmeats
Kalda
Pastries
During the time of the race the hawkers of candies, sweetmeats, Kal-da, pastries and paga were quiet, standing with their goods in the aisles watching.
Assassin

Flavored ices in goblets
The High Initiate had risen to his feet and accepted a goblet from another Initiate, probably containing minced, flavored ices, for the afternoon was warm.
Assassin

Bread & Honey - as a food sold by vendors at tarn races
Virginia seemed rather grateful, and knelt quite close to Relius, who sat on the tier; in a moment she felt his arm about her shoulders and thus they watched race after race, or seemed to watch the race, for often I observed them looking rather more at one another. Ho-Sod, after several races, gave Phyllis a coin, ordering her to find a vendor and buy him some Sa-Tarna bread smeared with honey.
Assassin

From a vendor at the Sardar Fair
Rolled meat filled with sauce
I bought a slice of rolled meat, filled with sauce, in a waxed paper, from a vendor.
Beasts

Another vendor offers soup at the Sardar Fair
Soup - thick with bosk & chunks of sul
"Soup!' Soup!" called a man.
"Soup!" I called, raising my hand. I purchased from him, for a copper tarsk, a bowl of soup, thick with shreds of hot bosk and porous chunks of boiled sul.
