I've never eaten well as far as I know, have you?

Yes, I'm afraid if I dare to say that on the American radio, but yes, I have.

Bjorn Basberg is an economic historian at the Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen.

Bergen is the second largest city in Norway.

100 years ago or more, it was the capital of Norway and the people in Bergen.

They tend to think that they are still the capital.

Basberg recently retired from his teaching position.

Actually, in Norway, it's a mandatory, so I turned 70.

That's a mandatory age of retirement.

You have more time for wailing expeditions, at least?

Not wailing expeditions, but maybe expeditions.

I go to Antarctic, I once in a while, to at least study wailing heritage there.

I've been, actually, for 30 years now, involved with industrial archaeology projects.

In Antarctica, especially the sub Antarctic island of South Georgia,

that was for many years a century of Antarctic wailing.

So Basberg's primary activity around wailing is research,

but as we heard, he has also eaten his share.

It tastes quite good.

If you put it on the barbecue on the grill, it's like a beef, so it's tasty.

And you can also eat it in tin slices raw as...

Carpaccio?

Sort of Carpaccio, yes.
