Who doesn’t love a doughnut? A simple treat but one that St John’s in Druid Street, London SE1 has taken to another level.
A delicious sweet treat whose faintly crisp sugar-sprinkled outer conceals a yielding light fluffy but satisfyingly chewy centre filled much more than generously with a mouthwateringly fruity and citrusy seeded raspberry jam.
They’re certainly not cheap at £3.90 each – a packet of 5 bog standard jam doughnuts costs £1.30 in Sainsbury’s!
But even at 15 times the price of some other confections of the same name, I’d have to say these are such a qualitatively different experience that to call all of these doughnuts is just to reveal the paucity of the English language in this realm.
If you get a chance to try one, enjoy!
