Get a roll & swiss it.

Advantages: Great sponge, creamy vanilla filling.
Disadvantages: Packaging shows that this is cheap.

...When visiting my Mothers recently for Sunday lunch it was my turn to take along some dessert and so I popped in to Asda in Harlow town and purchased a couple of these little bargains! The packaging is very simple it is clear allowing you to see the swiss roll within and it has the basic green and white, easily recognisable, Smart Price packaging which makes it stand out on the shelf and shows me instantly that this is probably at a bargain price & at 15p I would definitely agree with my standard assumption. The roll itself is chocolate sponge which has been rolled and filled with vanilla cream and this gives a great swirl pattern throughout the roll meaning then when cut each slice has a lovely pattern to it. The chocolate sponge is lovely and moist and the vanilla filling is very creamy and tasty and the two products compliment each...

Review of Asda Smartprice Chocolate Swiss Roll

Twinings Swiss hot chocolate drink, a delicious luxury beverage

Advantages: High quality, deliscious chocolatety drink with added vitamins and minerals
Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive than rivals

...Twinings Swiss chocolate drink is a hot chocolate powder drink made by hating up milk on the hob or in the microwave and the instructions say 'pour over' 3-4 heaped teaspoons of chocolate powder, although I find it works just as well to stir in the powder. The result is a delicious hot chocolate that rivals some of the hot chocolate I have recently had in cafes. The drink is smooth and rich (particularly when you use 5 teaspoons of powder), and goes well with cake and biscuits or as an evening beverage. I am very fussy with my hot chocolate and won't drink and of the 'instant' drinks made with water. I have tried galaxy and Green & Blacks Organic (which I found too bitter), but remained loyal to Cadbury Drinking chocolate for hot milk until I tried the Twinings. The Twinings is more expensive than the Cadburys, but at £2.99 for 350g...

Strawberry swiss bliss with a big vanilla kiss - Not one to miss!

Advantages: Bargain, sweet and creamy, lovely flavours
Disadvantages: Moorish;

...Sometimes you just fancy a nice light sweet snack and sponge cake is usually my preference to satisfy this, in particular Swiss Roll. Now, I actually picked mine up from Asda, not Switzerland so there is still point in you reading this review. A Swiss Roll is a flat sponge cake made without the use of any fat - just eggs, flour, and sugar and is baked in a shallow tin. It is then spread with filling and rolled up into a cylinder so that the sponge and filling is swirly. You can purchase chocolate and cream filling versions, plain jam versions, lemon, etc... I used to get confused with 'Roulade' which is sort of the same, except it's a meringue that is rolled up, not sponge. I picked the 'Strawberry' Swiss roll with a vanilla cream flavouring. Asda have a Smart Price mini swiss roll for 13p with just jam in it so if you've never...

Review of Asda Jumbo Strawberry Swiss Roll

Review of the Victorinox Century Swiss Army Knife

Advantages: Sharp serrated blade, attractive design.
Disadvantages: None that spring to mind.

...I am a little bit sad. You see, I'm a pen knife anorak... I have four of the things, and use them for camping trips, jobs around the house and those bizarre tasks that pop up from time to time (ever got a lump of chewing gum stuck to your shoe before a meeting?!?) In short - I KNOW about penknives. Features of the Victorinox Swiss Army Century Swiss Army Knife Serrated/Straight blade - this is pulled out from the cover by gripping a little groove on the back of the blade. It is made of stainless steel, so it won't rust, and it "locks" when it is in line with the handle. The blade is 4" long and has about 60% serrated edge and 40% straight edge. It is an incredibly sharp blade that cuts just about anything - string...

Review of Victorinox - Swiss Army Knife

Don't miss this Swiss bliss!

Advantages: wonderfully smooth chocolate
Disadvantages: a wee bit more expensive

...There is a very famous quote comparing Italy and Switzerland. Something along the lines of the Swiss have had 500 years of democracy and peace and all they have given the world is the cuckoo clock whereas the Italians who have had 500 years of turmoil have given the world so many more useful inventions. Well good for Italy. But the Swiss have not just given the world the cuckoo clock. Far from it. You see the Swiss are responsible for much chocolate innovation which I feel has been overlooked by the world at large. Swiss chocolate ranks as among the finest in the world. So what if they haven?t managed to make any great inventions, they?ve made damn good chocolate. Over the years I have been lucky enough to sample some genuine, bona fide, bought in Switzerland Swiss Chocolate when friends have travelled to the little nation...

Review of Marks and Spencer Swiss Milk Extra Fine Chocolate

Swiss Vanilla Protein Conditioner

Advantages: Delicious smell, does its job
Disadvantages: Doesn't feel good on wet hair

...Swiss Vanilla Protein Conditioner- OK, OK. So I know that this isn't in the right category but this is the closest I could get as Ciao don't give us the ability to suggest new brands, only products. OK, so its a conditioner with the usual claims covering the packaging: leaves hair beautifully soft and manageable, radiating with health, body and shine. Theres nothing there out of the ordinary, no claim that isn't made on almost every other conditioner bottle. The thing that attracted me to this conditioner was the name: Swiss Vanilla Protein Conditioner. Like almost everyone I know, I love vanilla. No, I adore it. I use vanilla room sprays, scented candles, perfume, shower gel, bath bubbles, the works. Vanilla is my absolute favourite smell. I think I've made my point anyway. This conditioner is designed for normal hair. My...

Review of St Ives Swiss Formula Swiss Vanilla

Swiss Miss

Advantages: well presented, great ensemble cast
Disadvantages: if you hate Shirley Temple, this is a no go

...earned cash to send their children and themselves for carefree respite from what was often a darker reality. Sunny child star Shirley Temple fit the bill, with her dazzling dimpled smile, golden curls, and precocious singing, dancing, and acting skills. America's little sweetheart was to lighten the hearts of cinema goers that year as Heidi, the little orphaned girl from the Swiss Alps who changed the world of those who came to know her, all for the better. Based upon the classic novel by Joanna Spryi, the film does take small liberties in a few places, and some bits are omitted. This does not detract from the value of the film at all, remaining a high quality dramatisation of the novel while allowing the best aspects of Shirley to shine. This is not to say this film is a mere vehicle, as the rest of the ensemble are every bit as important...

Review of Heidi (DVD)

Swiss Army Huntsman Knife - Not Just For Hunting!

Advantages: Plenty of tools, small size.
Disadvantages: Pricing could be considered steep, tweezers and toothpicks easily lost.

...*Product* Small, smart, safe - three words out of many that could be used to describe how useful the Swiss Army Huntsman Knife is. With a size being slightly smaller than an average male middle-finger, and yet still thinner than a thumbs width, it is no wonder that it is more commonly known as a the more popular 'Pocketknife' - a place where it is perfectly safe to hold, might I add. As with most items, the size has no impact on the innards of the instrument, although it is definitely helpful that it can slide neatly in and out of the palm of your hand, but, have no qualms about it; the durable plastic outer-shell (usually in a firetruck red, but comes in a range of colours) a slight grip of the hand will keep it in place. As with all Swiss Army Knives, this comes with strong stainless steel and some dangerously sharp edges (Warning...

Review of Swiss Army Huntsman Knife

Swiss Army Knife - Don't camp without it

Advantages: so many different varieties, for whatever purpose
Disadvantages: may need oiling if not kept properly

...The Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is an essential tool for anyone going on any sort of a camping trip or hike. These knives can be found anywhere in the world with a huge assormtment of functionalities. They can be as small as your pinky or as long as your middle finger and as fat as a hot dog bun. If you are really out in the woods or somewhere else in the middle of nowhere, a knife will always come in handy as might a saw and scissors and the whole lot of things that come on those knives. Some of them even have compasses (extremely useful tool). You can get addons to your knives as well. If you wear glasses you can get a special little screw device that screws into the cork puller-outer, which has such a small screwing nozzle that it is perfect for tightening your lenses. The hook is great for tightening those hard to tighten...

Review of Victorinox - Swiss Army Knife

Swiss dark chocolate

Advantages: chocolate
Disadvantages: none

...The Coeur de Suisse dark chocolate that I bought on holiday in France. This is a Swiss chocolate. I bought it in a Champion supermarket in France sorry I can not remember how many euros it cost nor find out on line. This chocolate is wrapped in a silver foil then in a dark paper wrapper with pictures of the Swiss mountains. This chocolate is quite a thin chocolate with small rectangular divisions these have lines like a fork/comb has been drawn across it. The taste of this dark chocolate is not over bitter it?s a deep taste one I really like, its sweet but not over creamy like a milk chocolate. It is a sophisticated taste. If I see this chocolate again I would buy it. Calories? Of course it?s got lots its chocolate isn?t it, but I can see no info on this 100g bar about calories. The ingredients are listed: - sugar...
