One of Canada's most famous treats is coming to the U.S. for a day -- even if many Americans have never heard of it.

Tim Hortons will celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday by offering poutine doughnut at five of its restaurants. A poutine doughnut is one the chain's Honey Dip Donuts topped with potato wedges, gravy and cheese curds.

The Great White North-inspired concoction will be on sale only on Saturday, since July 1 is Canada Day north of the border. Think of it as that country's Fourth of July, eh?

“At Tim Hortons restaurants, we’re proud of our Canadian heritage and we want to share a piece of that in the United States,” said Felipe Athayde, executive vice president of Tim Hortons US. "Our new Canadian inspired treats are a great way for Americans to get in on the 150th celebration of their friendly neighbor next door.”

Four of the five Tim Hortons' restaurants where it will be sold are relatively close to the U.S.-Canadian border. They are Derby, Hamburg and East Aurora in New York and Rochester Hills, Mich. The other location is Columbus, Ohio.

Also available only on July 1 will be another Canadian-themed delicacy, the Maple Bacon Iced Capp, topped with whipped cream, maple flakes and bacon bits. It's $3.49 for the medium-sized one. Finally, Maple Timbits, maple flavored bite-sized doughnut holes, at $1.99 for a 10-pack, will be available throughout July.
