When a Swiss roll is NOT a Swiss roll ...

 



Time to pamper myself again!  I bought this vanilla Swiss roll from a nearby cake shop.  It was lovely though I would have preferred it without the raisins.  It also comes in chocolate and coffee flavours.  I have often wondered why a Swiss roll is called a Swiss roll.  A quick check with Wikipedia told me that the origins of the term are unclear and the cake is believed to have originated elsewhere in Central Europe, possibly Austria or Slovenia - and not Switzerland.  So now I know.
