Mannaz Silks of the District begin learning more Drink as they encounter varied Free traveling and trading through the small District in Port Kar



PAGA...

Sul- Paga ...Made from the golden vine borne vegetable called "sul" (resembles an earth potato),  Sul-Paga is a distilled, clear alcoholic beverage. It is typically drunk by peasants and seldom available outside their villages.

 

Sul paga, as anyone knew, is seldom available outside of a peasant village, where it is brewed. Sul paga would slow a thalarion. To stay on your feet after a mouthful of Sul paga it is said one must be of the peasants, and then for several generations. And even then, it is said, it is difficult to manage. There is a joke about the baby of a peasant father being born drunk nine months later. Slave Girl of Gor, p 414

 

Sul Paga is talked about in one book, slave girl of gor. it shows up roughly about of 10 times in that book. here are all the quotes and you will see not ONE says it has LUMPS ... btw the word LUMP or LUMPS does not show up in the books at all pertaining to PAGA either one ....

 

“Sul paga!” demanded Thurnus. Sul paga, as anyone knew, is seldom available outside of a peasant village, where it is brewed. Sul paga would slow a tharlarion. To stay on your feet after a mouthful of Sul paga it is said one must be of the peasants, and then for several generations. And even then, it is said, it is difficult to manage. There is a joke about the baby of a peasant father being born drunk nine months later. - slave girl of gor

I want you to really look at one quote ... " Sul paga is, when distilled, though the Sul itself is yellow, as CLEAR AS WATER."Sul Paga is like moonshine, made almost the same way ... and last i knew there was no lumps in moonshine nor Sul Paga .... 

 

 

Falarian Wine...

Not specifically described, this wine is mentioned but once or twice, as a rare and expensive wine.

Among these petitioners came one fellow bringing with him the promise of a gift of wine, a wine supposedly secret, the rare Falarian, a wine only rumored among collectors to exist, a wine supposedly so rare and precious that its cost might purchase a city. Mercenaries of Gor, 15:158

 

Palm wine ...

Is mentioned in Explorers of Gor as being one of the exports of Schendi, no description given other than the fact it is quite tasty.

One of her most delicious exports is palm wine."...--Explorers of Gor, p115

 

Blackwine ...

Made from beans brought back to Gor during the early acquisition voyages and grown in the mountain of Thentis, Blackwine is Gor's equivalent of earth's coffee in its most potent form, perhaps only Espresso comes close to the strong taste described.

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 other Gorean cities...Then I picked up one of the thick, heavy clay bowls...It was extremely strong, and bitter, but it was hot, and, unmistakably, it was coffee. ---Assassins of Gor, p 106

Typically, it will be brewed on a tiny brazier, and poured into tiny cup. Sugars, white and yellow, bosk and verr creams are stirred in with a tiny spoon. At times, the milk may be found in powder form.

Too, I had brought up a small bowl of powdered bosk milk. We had finished the creams last night and, in any event, it was unlikely they would have lasted the night. If I had wanted creams I would have had to have gone to the market.---Guardsman of Gor, p 295

Traditionally, one would add 4 tiny spoonfuls of white sugar and 6 tiny spoonfuls of yellow sugar.

"second slave"

There is much confusion about the request for "blackwine, first slave or second slave"Many insist that the first slave command means the blackwine is to be sweetened and creamed, whereas the second slave command indicates the blackwine is to be served black. Then again, many insist it is to be the other way around. Truth is few would dare to drink this brew without adding anything to it. With the potency and strength of the Gorean blackwine, the rush might be an interesting one.

The expression "second slave," incidentally, serves to indicate that one does not wish creams or sugars with one's black wine, even if only one girl is serving.--Guardsman of Gor, pp 244-245

(Side note...When a Free asks for their Black Wine served First slave Never Assume how many sugars and milk they want ALWAYS bring the sugars on the tray with you along with the jug of milk. A slave is always prepared. Even if you KNOW what they USUALLY like. They may change their minds and want it a different way. As well as ask if they want it in a mug or three footed bowl)

Always bring two spoons and if there are more than just one Free wanting Black Wine, add one more spoon per Free.
