Lesson : One
Drinks: Find quotes for the drinks listed below, write out a description in your own words..
1. Kalda
this is a beverage in a copper pot that is served hot its is made of a cheap wine and fruit such as larma or ramberries or tospit sliced and mixed into it.
Kalda is a Warrior's drink, not suited to the tongue of a Merchant or Scribe. It recalls the victory of Tharna of Warriors over their captors, the masked Mistresses, and should therefore always be served only in a silver goblet (to harken back to the melting of the silver masks into collars.) Be prepared to serve Kalda in great quantities to a Warrior in such a reminiscent mood! Outlaw of Gor pg 76
2. Sul paga
This is a stronger drink than that of sa paga it is made from distilled sulls. it is similar to that of vodka on earth
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. He could have been commenting only on the potentcy of the drink, for Sul paga is almost tasteless. One does not guzzle Sul paga.
Slave Girl of Gor, page 134
3. Bazi tea
bazi tea is an expensive tea made from bazi tea leaves. the tea is served in a ritualistic manner. always from a porcelain pot. and served with three tiny cups. its a tea similar to an orange pekoe of earth.
Tea is extremely important to the nomads. It is served hot and heavily sugared. It gives them strength then, in virture of the sugar, and cools them, by making them sweat as well as stimulating them. It is drunk three small cups at a time, carefully measured.
Tribesmen of Gor, page 38 and 140; Beasts of Gor pg 206
Here is a traditional serving ceremony
1. you go to the fireplace to check and see that the water is boiling. If there is not enough water, refill the kettle.
2. go to the sideboard and get the traditional teapot with three cups. The cups are small and delicate. The pot holds about 6 cups and is also delicate porcelain.
3. take the pot to the kettle and fill it. Allow the water to warm the pot and then dump it back into the kettle. Refill with boiling water.
4. take the pot to the sideboard (counter) and put in two or three pinches of leaves from the black lacquer chest inlaid with the Taverns crest (the chest contains native Gorean tea from Bazi).
5. place a goodly portion of red sugar in one cup, yellow sugar in a second cup, and mixed red and yellow in the third cup.
6. take the tea and the cups to the one being served.
4. Ta- wine
Is a wine made of the grapes in vineyards of Cos. It is a bit red-ish in color like a merlot of earth.A wine created from the ta grapes in the vineyards of Cos.
"It was Ta wine, from the Ta grapes of the terraces of Cos...In the last year heavy import duties had been levied by the high council of Vonda against the wines of certain other cities, in particular against the Ka-la-nas of Ar." Fighting Slave of Gor, page 306
5. Turian wine
Is a very thick wine that is almost like syrup it has a heavy amount of sugar to it.
I did not much care for the sweet, syrupy wines of Turia, flavored and sugared to the point where one could almost leave one's fingerprint on their surface. Nomads of Gor, page 83-84
6. Turian Liquor
Is a sweet thick liquor similar to that of disarono of earth. It is as well considered something like a desert liquor.
She picked up the small tray from the stand near the table. On it was the small vessel containing a thick, sweet liqueur from distant Turia, the Ar of the south, and the two tiny glasses from which we had sipped it. Exlporers of Gor, page 10
7. Chocolate
this is a rare and very costly drink made from the coco beans that's makes chocolate. it is warmed and sugared and served this way much like the chocolate milk of earth.
"This is warmed chocolate," I said, pleased. It was very rich and creamy. "Yes, Mistress," said the girl. "It is very good," I said. "Thank you, Mistress," she said. "Is it from Earth?" I asked."Not directly," she said. "Many things here, of course, ultimately have an Earth origin. (Kajira of Gor, page 61)
8. Rence Beer
Is a beer kept in a gourd flagon it is popular in the rence islands where they produce the gourds.
I had also been used to carry heavy kettles of rence beer from the various islands to the place of feasting, as well as strings of water gourds, poles of fish, plucked gants, slaughtered tarsks, and baskets of the pith of rence. Raiders of Gor, page 41
