Poutine flavored donuts

[NFLDERS]

Tim Hortons is offering these up for Canada's 150th.

Happy "Almost" 150th Birthday Canadian Disers!

I saw that this morning and have to say, I actually took the time to "imagine" how all of that would taste. I mean, Timmy's donuts...good. Poutine...good. I thought that maybe if it was a plain doughnut, then it would be like bread with gravy on it, which wouldn't be horrible, but it's NOT! It is a honey-glazed donut! I just can't imagine that sweet flavour mixed with gravy. And THEN...to use potato wedges instead of fries? And will the whole thing be hot enough to melt the cheese curds (see video below)??? I highly doubt it!!! Nope. Nope! Nope!!! I can't get behind that one. Sorry. (And that is a truly, heartfelt Canadian sorry!)

Tim Horton's Poutine Donut (this is the news article announcing it)

I have a hard enough time when some came up with the idea of using a donut as a bun and then a hamburger. Sorry that just does not sound good to me. But when other folks grow up eating different things they are used to it.

I don't know, individually they are delicious, but together sounds gross!

I've seen hamburgers with donuts for buns here. Also sounds pretty gross.

Here's what really shocked me....

Poutine-flavoured doughnuts are only available in the US!

This is what we're getting instead:

Bah. I might've tried a poutine-flavoured doughnut just out of curiosity. These look very standard and boring and wouldn't justify a trip to Tims.

I'll go to David's Tea instead and get some of their Oh Canada tea!

Nanaimo Bar Donut, YES!

So I thought I might be willing to take one for the team and go and try this concoction out, but alas, they are only going to be available in Derby, N.Y.; Hamburg, N.Y.; East Aurora, N.Y.; Rochester Hills, Mich.; and Columbus, Ohio. All of those places are more than a short drive from my home, so somebody else is going to have to pick up that baton and run with it.

With that being said, NFLDERS, can you please send down a box of the maple Timbits and a few of those Nanaimo bar donuts for me. You know...for use in the name of scientific study and all that.

Hamburg N Y. is close enough for me but, I doubt I can convince my pocket book just for those.

Shall we start a Go Fund Me page so we can get you there? If I wasn't already hosting a Canada Day barbecue, I might have been able to convince my husband to road trip there (6 hrs and 51 mins!). We could meet and experience this delicacy together. That might make it more worthwhile. (Plus, you could bring my Timmy's treats down with you! And toss in some Hickory Sticks and Goodhost while you are at it. I am running dangerously low of both items!)

I would LOVE to get my hands on those maple Timbits. Actually i would love to just be able to go to a Tim Hortons. We miss them.

So I was just listening to C95 (Saskatoon) and the announcer was discussing the whole poutine donut thing and how it is only being sold in the U.S. He then went on to talk about how even though he loves a salty/sweet combination normally, that he was going to take a hard "NO!" on this one. He finished by adding that "one particular individual joked that poutine donuts are so unhealthy that they can’t be bought in Canada.." And they call Fettuccine Alfredo heart attack on a plate!

 

[firefly_ris]

I live about 15 minutes from East Aurora... wondering if I should allow my arteries to take a hit for 1 day to try it.... the whole thing where it's on a honey-glazed donut is making me want to pass, though. I can't imagine what that flavor combination is like.

Oh please!!! SOMEBODY has got to try it!

ARTERIES! ARTERIES! ARTERIES!



(And we'll need photos too, because I'm sure it won't come out looking as pretty as the picture!)

 

[Frozen Canuck]

Okay, so did ANYBODY get out and try that poutine donut yesterday??? I would love to hear what people thought of it. I couldn't find any online reviews about it at all.

 

[focusondisney]

I'm only 10 minutes from both East Aurora & Hamburg, but there was no way I was eating that.

I heard about that. I love TH and I love poutine, but this sounds horrible.

Oh come on. Take one for the team. We need to know how it tastes.

Figures!! Something that artery-clogging had to have been designed for a US market!!

I'd take the maple tidbits... yum!

That hell-donut is an attack of some kind, alright. I hope the Americans don't consider it an act of war...
To all our US friends - on behalf of our entire nation, I apologize (and this time there's actually something to apologize for!!).

Isn't poutine pretty unhealthy by definition.

I'm kind of partial to maple bacon donuts myself.

But it has to be American bacon and Vermont maple. Accept nothing less.
