SPICES
HONEY


"In the cafes I had feasted well. I 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."
Tribesmen of Gor, page 48
"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, page 81



NUTMEG, PEPPERS, GARLIC


"..a kort with melted cheese and nutmeg."
Tribesmen of Gor, page 48
"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, page 46

"I have peas and turnips, garlic and onions in my hut."
Outlaw of Gor, page 29



SALT


Comes in two varieties, red or white. Most salt is mined in Klima, though the Torvaldlanders get their salt from sea water or seaweed.

"Most salt at Klima is white, but certain of the mines deliver red salt, red from the 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."
Tribesmen of Gor, page 238
"…salt, incidentally, is obtained by the men of Torvaldsland, most commonly, from sea water or the burning of seaweed. 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, pages 186-187

"...Near him in places of honor, at a long, low table, above the bowls of yellow and red salt...."
Nomads of Gor, page 253



SUGAR


Two varieties of sugar: white and yellow.

"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…"
Tribesmen of Gor, page 89
