It consists of cheap kalana wine, fruit juices such as tospit and larma, and seasoned with potently hot spices. It is made each morning and kept simmering over the fires. It is served in a footed bowl, not ceramic or bowls made totally of metal. The drink is very hot any type of container that conducts heat well would burn the free you are serving and you would not want that. Use wooden footed bowls or metal trimmed wooden footed bowls to serve this. Paga: this is a grain alcohal much like whiskey. It is very potent and amber in color. It has a strong odor also that is unmistakable. It is stored in botas and occasionally bottles. It can be served warm from simmering over a fire in a kettle or botas hung near a fire pit, at room temperature bottles or botas straight off shelves or hooks where they are stored or if the area we are camped in currently allows, semi chilled in the stream. We do not have any chilleries, ice pits, cold rooms or other types of cold storage beyond what nature provides. It can be served in footed bowls, goblets, cups or straight from the bota or bottle depending on the preference of the free you are serving. If in doubt what vessel they prefer; ask. Be careful when serving it warm to make sure the vessel does not conduct heat and that it is not too hot and will burn the free you are serving when they drink it. Water: Fresh drinking water is stored in barrels and botas. It is served in almost any type of vessel from cups and bowls to glasses and goblets. It is served at room temperature from the barrels or botas or chilled gathered from the nearest fresh water source where we are currently camped. Milk: Served fresh, it is gathered from our animals and served in a flagons. There are those who enjoy the salty taste of kailla milk or the strong potent verr milk also. Most common milk requested is bosk milk here in camp. Tea(not bazi tea): Tea leaves are gathered from the areas we are in. This tea is not to be mistaken with bazi tea-the very expensive tahari beverage. It is served warm with sugar and milk to taste, served in a cup. Once again be careful when choosing the cup that it does not conduct heat too greatly to cause pain or injury to the free you are serving. Kalana wine: a cheap dry red wine stored in botas or bottles. It can be served warm from simmering over a fire in a kettle or botas hung near a fire pit, at room temperature bottles or botas straight off shelves or hooks where they are stored or if the area we are camped in currently allows, semi chilled in the stream. It is served in goblets. Any drinks beyond this list is at the discretion and inventory of your owner. --------------------------------------- Elements of a serve: beg the free to approach approach the free offer service listen, ask any questions needed to ensure accuracy, vessel prefered, temperature, seasonings and if an item your owner does not have on hand ask if you may use their supplies as your Owner does not have that in stock. fetch the requested items kneel before the free finish any details left, such as how much sugar they would like offer the finished item thank the free for allowing you to serve kneel quietly and wait to see if they would like anything else if after ten minutes they do not ask for anything else beg to return to the slave furs; there are exceptions to this, for instance they are your Owner or if for some reason you are aware this is something they find displeasing Men enjoy having a pretty girl at their feet. Its a fact of life in gor. There is nothing wrong with it. Enjoy it. |
