Cinnamon
similar to earth cinnamon, used in same way
Quote:
"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."
The sun was bright, and there was a good wind astern. The sails
were full and the waters of Thassa streamed against the strakes.
It was the fourth morning after the evening conversation which
Ulafi and I had had, concerning my putative caste and the
transaction in Schendi awaiting the arrival of the blond-haired
barbarian.
"How far are we out of Schendi?" I asked.
"Fifty pasangs," said Ulafi. We could not yet see land.
*Explorers of Gor, pg 98
Cloves:
similar to earth, used in same ways
Quote:
There is little market in simple Laura for the more exquisite
goods of Gor. Seldom will one find there Torian rolls of gold
wire, interlocking cubes of silver from Tharna, rubies carved
into tiny, burning panthers from Schendi, nutmegs and cloves,
spikenard and peppers from the lands east of Bazi, the floral
brocades, the perfumes of Tyros, the dark wines, the gorgeous,
diaphanous silks of glorious Ar. *Captive of Gor, pg 86
Condiments:
Quote:
There was the odor of food in the kitchen, and of spilled drink.
There were several yards of sausages hung on hooks; canisters of
flour, sugars and salts; many smaller containers of spices and
condiments. Two large wine jugs in one corner of the room. There
were many closed pantries lining the walls, and a number of
pumps and tubs on side. Some boxes and baskets of hard fruit
were stored there. *Assassin of Gor, pg 271
Garlic:
same as on earth. no specific Gorean description given.
How it can be used:
a.) used in same ways as earth
Quote:
"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,
pg 29
I could smell his breath, heavy with drink, and garlic, and
herbs, across the furs. *Dancer of Gor, pg 312
Herbs:
Quote:
Drawers in the side of the wagon contained, too, mysteries of
goods, such as threads, cloths, scissors, thimbles, buttons and
patches, brushes and combs, sugars, herbs, spices, packets of
salt, and philters of medicine. *Slave Girl of Gor, pg 207-208
The paga tasted a bit strange, but it was a local paga and there
is variation in such pagas, generally a function of the brewer's
choice of herbs and grains. *Explorers of Gor, pg 132
Nutmeg:
similar to earth, used in same ways
Quote:
There is little market in simple Laura for the more exquisite
goods of Gor. Seldom will one find there Torian rolls of gold
wire, interlocking cubes of silver from Tharna, rubies carved
into tiny, burning panthers from Schendi, nutmegs and cloves,
spikenard and peppers from the lands east of Bazi, the floral
brocades, the perfumes of Tyros, the dark wines, the gorgeous,
diaphanous silks of glorious Ar. *Captive of Gor, pg 86
Peppers

Salt:
Sea Salt:
Salt, incidentally, is obtained by the men of Torvaldsland, most
commonly, from sea water or from the burning of seaweed. It is
also, however, a trade commodity, and is sometimes taken in
raids. *Mauraders of Gor, pg. 187
Red Salt:
Quote:
Some salt mines at Kasra and Tor, 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. A delicacy... "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." *Tribesmen of Gor, pg 238
White Salt:
Quote:
Comes from regular salt mines..."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." *Tribesmen of Gor, page 238
Yellow Salt:
Comes from the sea, and from Kilma.
Quote:
"It had been expected, I gathered, that I would sit at one of
the two long side tables, and perhaps even below the bowls of
red and yellow salt which divided these tables." *Assassin of
Gor, pg. 86
Quote on salt:
From these raids the Wagon Peoples obtain a miscellany of goods
which they are willing to barter to the Turians, jewels,
precious metals, spices, colored table salts,
*Nomads of Gor, pg 57
Near him, in places of honor, at a long, low table, above the
bowls of yellow and red salt, on each side, sat many of the high
men of Turia, clad in their finest robes, their hair oiled,
scented and combed for the banquet. *Nomads of Gor, pg 253
Sesame Seeds:
Quote:
The only relief in their existence comes once a year, on the
birthday of the Tatrix, when they are served a small cake, made
with honey and sesame seeds, and a small pot of poor Kal-da.
*Outlaw of Gor, pg 150
Seasonings:
Quote:
It was a far cry from the provenders I had been taught to
prepare in the house, ranging from roasted, seasoned bosk and
tarsk and fresh plate breads, with honeys and butters, to
frosted pastries and decadent, creamed sauces which, in some
cities, were outlawed by sumptuary laws. *Smugglers of Gor, pg
111
Spice:
Quote:

Spikenard:
Quote:

brocades, the perfumes of Tyros, the dark wines, the gorgeous,
diaphanous silks of glorious Ar. *Captive of Gor, pg 86
Sugar:
Quote:
I lifted the tiny silver cup to my lips and took a drop of the
black wine. Its strength and bitterness are such that it is
normally drunk in such a manner, usually only a drop or a few
drops at a time. Commonly, too, it is mollified with creams and
sugars. I drank it without creams and sugars, perhaps, for I had
been accustomed, on Earth, to drinking coffee in such a manner,
and the black wine of Gor is clearly coffee, or closely akin to
coffee. *Guardsman of Gor, pg 247
