Potatoes

The friends in CGFC discover that a revolutionary but largely forgotten potato farmer, Helga Gísladóttir, has been wrongly named in history books. They subsequently go on a research-rollercoaster to correct her legacy. At the same time, they find out what happened to the discontinued but very popular brand of chips, Bacon curls.
