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.
