DAIRY:

1. Bosk cheese: made from bosk milk, it is firm and is served sliced. It travels well due to its hard rind that resists molds. Usually a little sharper in taste than verr cheese. Bosk cheese is melted on fried kort, and may be used on suls as well.

2. Verr cheese: made from verr milk, it is soft and can be mixed with herbs, chopped vegetables, or sweetners may be added. It is adaptable to many recipes.

3. Butter: may be made from either verr or bosk milk. Use as with earthen butter.

4. Clotted creams: similar to a whipped cream. Used in blackwine and chocolate drinks.

5. Milk: may be from either bosk or verr. Use as in earthen milk.

6. Yoghurt and Ice Creams: are mentioned but not described.

FISH:

1. Parsit: is a slender striped flaky fish that is normally added to bond maid gruel. It may be roasted in a rence 'bag' topped with verr butter, herbs, and sliced red Tyros olives. Serve on a platter.

2. Sorp: a common shellfish in the Vosk River. It is similar to oysters as it manufactures pearls. It can be served steamed, raw, smoked or in a thick fish stew. To serve raw, place them on a bed of colored salts on the 1/2 shell. To serve steamed or smoked, served them on the same platter of colored salts or on a bed of greens. The stew is served in the traditional footed clay bowls.

3. Wingfish: tiny blue saltwater fish found in the waters off Port Kar. The livers are considered a delicacy and it is served in fried nuggets or as a pate' with small squares of sa-tarna toast. Caution must be taken during the preparation due to the 4 poisonous dorsal fins.

Usually the fishmonger will have removed the livers. Serve on a platter. The livers are considered a delicacy in Turia, and commonly served in the cities of Cos, Port Kar, and Thassa.

SUGAR:

There is a huge misconception on most of IRC Gor. Kajirae are notorious for putting salt in Master's blackwine. What?

The only two colors of sugars are white and yellow. This is proven in the scrolls.

The "redrocks" that so many are fond of using is actually one of the colored SALTS found native on Gor. So girls, unless you are willing to risk a Master's wrath by putting salt in blackwine or any other drink...please use only the white and yellow sugars. The sugars are free flowing as earthen. Where the 'sweetrock' myth came from..no one knows. If asked for red sugar, remember... Free Persons are always right. Serve it graciously with a smile on your side of the screen.
