285 | Salutations and Greetings
I often see mention of rum as a drink, especially in Port Kar and other "pirate" type settings. I have been unable to find it directly referenced so I was hoping you could assist with quotes or maybe your insight as to if such a drink would be feasible
Thanks in advance
Answer
Going to this page:
Food and Drink
I find that rum is not listed.
(and sure enough, the word rum does not appear in the series)
So no, rum, being served "By the Book" is not book accurate.
My insight as to if such a drink would be feasible, took me to this page:
How to Make Rum
The ingredients are molasses, sugar, distilled water and hydrated yeast.
Looking back to the Food and Drink page at ~The Gorean Cave~ tells us that molasses, sugar and distilled water would be readily available. Goreans bake bread, so it seems reasonable that hydrated yeast would also be readily available. The rest is just making a still and cooking the final product.
Final analysis is: no, rum is not shown to exist on Gor. But, like so many other things, is it possible? Sure, why not?
