[Ads-l] nova lox (1955)

[Alice Faber]

Likewise, mid 60s. Nova was the good (more expensive) stuff; lox was 
what we normally got.

Nova was what we had; lox, also known as “belly lox”, was deemed “too salty”.  An alternative was “chicken carp”, a.k.a. “sable”. That was smoked carp, I assume.  Why “chicken carp” I can’t begin to guess.
