Larma:
Two variations of this fruit hard(pit fruit) or the juicy, eaten like and apple. There are two types of larma fruit. One
is a single-seeded, apple-like fruit. The other is segmented and juicy with a hard, brittle shell on the outside. A slave
girl who desires the touch of a Master may kneel before him, offering a larma as her unspoken message of need. Larma is an
interesting fruit. Two vastly different appearing fruits are called larma, and the way that they may be used depends on the
version chosen. The hard larma is applelike in texture, and apparently in taste, as it is used to stuff the mouth of the pork-like
tarsk. It is this larma that is served fried, with a browned-honey sauce, or perhaps with a honey-butter sauce. The second
version of larma is more like an orange, with a hard, removable brittle shell. This version of larma is extremely juicy and
sweet, and is meant to be eaten fresh. It is this version of the larma that is often offered to a Master as an unspoken plea
to be used. Each segment of the larma may be separated from the others, the succulent sections fed by hand, dripping with
juices.

since most tospits have and odd number of seeds). The most common variety of tospit is a short-stemmed version. In the serveries
of V/T Gor, it has been common to treat tospit like lemons, serving a juice from them that is similar to lemonade, though
it must assuredly be sweetened and diluted before serving, as it is, in its natural state, extremely bitter. Tospit, sliced
thin or as juice, may also be combined with butter, or lightly sauteed in butter to be served atop vegetables or fish, especially
nice over fish to cut the oily taste of some of the smaller Gorean fish.

Gant:
Similat to the Earth duck. The Marsh Gant is an aquatic fowl apparently akin to duck. It is small, web-footed and horned.
It is hunted by Marsh girls and/or Rencers for food, and it is unclear whether it is exported outside of the marshes. However,
with the proximity to Port Kar and the trade plyed through the marshes it is likely that this meat is available through some
portion of Gor on occasion. If the opportunity presents to serve it, think about roasting it on a spit, where the skin can
crisp well and the layer of fat beneath the skin is able to drain away a bit. Basting with ramberry or peach jelly makes a
wonderful glaze.
