to ask what the iced sultanas pastries in the Sainsbury's cafe are called?

[M3lon]

Had a 'debate' with the shop assistant in a Sainsbury's cafe today about the nature of the pastry I had chosen. It was:

a) not a belgian bun
b) made of puff pastry (in the cinnamon whirl format)
c) has sultanas (or similar) in it
d) has maybe some sort of almond paste
e) has icing on top
f) has a cherry on the top of the icing
g) is really definitely NOT a belgian bun

I've tried (after the debate) to find a label for said item, but there wasn't one, then tried to find it online in the Sainsburys bakery section, but have not found anything.

I'f MN can't solve this in under 10 mins then I will be sorely dissapointed....so what is it??? (and how much should I have paid :))

They sell them in the small Sainsbury's near work in a 2 pack.

teensthanks for the photo - that is indeed the one

Now I have to go and get an Iced Danish Pastry! I love them 😍

I've a bad feeling that this information isn't going to help....I mean I'll be all 'MN says its an iced raisin Danish' and they are going to be like 'that's not on the machine - how about we put it through as a Belgian bun?'.

torys yes - I've bought them in the cafe and in a small sainsbury's in a two pack - its definitely a real product...it just doesn't appear in any of their lists of pastries or bakery or cafe products.

I feel its a secret product...like, they can't afford to advertise it, because who knows what would happen then?

Thank you MN - once again you have not disappointed!!

Raisin Whirl

I’m so upset. Now I want some Danish pastries from Costco.

They are feckin addictive whatever they are!

Got a 2 pack today, they're hidden in the cupboard for when DD goes to bed and DH goes to play computer games. I'm not sharing!

that is the one left over from breakfast, and the one I have just eaten for tea, after reading this Thread over the weekend

They were my Go To breastfeeding snack. Which possibly explains why the expected breastfeeding weight loss just didn’t happen

I’m having a flashback! ❤️

They’re usually labelled as raisin whirls in my local sainsburys love them
Reminds me of a time I asked for a cream donut (The long ones with whipped cream on top) and the staff gave me an ‘iced finger’ then argued til she was blue in the face it was a cream donut and I was wrong until her colleague marched her away to calm down

@Ishihtzuknot She was BU. Massively. How dare she? What was the colleague's opinion?

They're on sale in Sainsbury's as a raisin whirl, in packs of 2 from the bakery department

Cinnamon swirl!

Raisin whirl! They have them on the cake counter sometimes. It’s lighter and more croissant-y than a Danish pastry.

Raisin Whirl.

I work in a sainsbury's bakery!

redriver I will be quoting you then, if I get any further fight on the issue!
