I picked up these Red Nose Day themed doughnuts at Sainsbury's. They cost a very reasonable £1 for four doughnuts with 15p donated to Comic Relief.
The doughnuts are covered in a red (well really it's a pinkish colour) icing and crunchy white sprinkles.
Even though they don't look much like a red nose, they still have a fun bright look which is perfectly in keeping with the Red Nose Day theme.
Supermarket bakery doughnuts can be a bit hit and miss in terms of taste, it often depends on what time of day you buy them as to whether you get a delicious treat or a stale/soggy mess. As I bought these in the morning and they had just been baked, they were very tasty, the doughy part was very soft and light, with a lovely golden colouring. The icing on top was quite firm with a nice crunchy texture from the sprinkles. They're cheap and cheerful and made a lovely half-term treat.
The last time I did a Red Nose Day review (for the Limited Edition Red Nose Day Pez ) I felt it fitting to end the review with a joke. This time I'll leave the jokes to the doughnut addict that is Garfield:
