>Americans need to dip their strawberries in chocolate in order to enjoy them

Explain this.

It's a novelty and delicious. The chocolate works well with the acidity of a strawberry, which is so acidic you can use them to whiten your teeth assuming your not emotionally attached to your enamel..

It's certainly not a typical thing. We just eat strawberries like most people.

About the only time you'd see the chocolate dipped ones is in the context of valentines day gifts.

We don't dip strawberries in chocolate at all. That stuff is 'chocolatey coating', a vegetable oil product that's easier to melt and has a milder, American-friendly taste.

It's a diabetes thing, you wouldn't understand.

It's mostly because it's more complicated to reliably temper chocolate so it's solid at room temperature.

I dip mine in double boiler melted Guittard semisweet chips then harden in the freezer. The textures are really nice.

You see by encapsulating it within an airtight shell you can preserve the freshness of the fruit

I've only seen it done at buffets where they have a fountain of what appears to be chocolate but is obviously not. Usually there's a shitload of little unrestrained spawn dipping their fingers in it and licking them so only people who like human skin cells with their chocolate style product would do it.

And UK fags cover them in cream.

Come the fuck on with this bullshit. It all tastes good.

the pH (acidity, alkalinity) of a fruit has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of sugar it has. The acid eats away at the enamel on your pearly whites just as much as everything else bad. Maybe worse. It's why diet soda will still give you meth mouth despite no sugar. The acids in it.

That's why you uses straw, so the acids can bypass your teeth and go directly down your throat

I've often wondered if that can actually help since the saliva will help neutralize it some before it gets to your teeth with just your saliva around in there
