'''Benny Olafson''' is a maverick Scandinavian food entrepreneur. His company ''Benisons'' is generally recognised to be the European market leader in the burgeoning high-end roadkill sector. His buccaneering style and frequent disregard for food safety laws has often brought him into conflict with the authorities, but his products remain inexplicably popular. However, the recent so-called ''Geigerburger'' incident, despite its felicitous outcome, has raised some questions as to Olafson's judgement.
