at least with salmon and lobsters you get very tired of it after three
days repeating it.

I remember as a child we had a visit of some directors of St.Ann paper

announced they would get some meat dish for dinner. Then they had
either had lobsters or salmon for dinner every day for two weeks when
visiting other pulp industries in Norway.
