Cold Roasted Salmon.— But now this is finished with two ways of- 
doing with | roasted salmon-backs,—the fresh roasted salmon-backs; | 
and we have talked about the old soaked roasted | salmon-backs. 
Now we will go on and talk about the || roasted salmon-backs when 
they are fed to young men, even | when they are really dry, in 
winter. When they are | given to young men, they are broken into 
three pieces | and put on the food-mat. | They are just put down in 
front of the guests, || and the oil-dish is also put down | in front of 
what is to be eaten. Then water is taken by the | man and given 
to his guests to | rinse their mouths, and they drink some of it after 
they have. finished rinsing their mouths; | and after they have 
finished drinking, they eat the dry salmon, which is really brittle; || 
and only that is different from the soaked salmon, | that they do 
not take much oil when they dip it; but they take | much oil when 
the brittle salmon-back is dipped in, for | the food chokes them. 
There is also always a bucket | of water standing in front of those 
who are eating the roasted salmon-back; || for, as soon as those who 
are eating it get choked, they | take some water and wash down what 
chokes them.'. . . | As? soon as the young men finish eating, they drink 
much | oil; namely, the oil that is left in the oil-dish; | and after
