I sometimes do things in the wrong order for the pleasure of juxtaposition, cursing myself publicly, loudly, covering my tracks as I go. I like the bitterness of orange juice drunk after swallowing toothpaste. I think it’s the shock of it, in the face of the standard sweetness of both. It is, I suspect, an acquired taste - though that is a phrase I have always been suspicious of, given that all tastes were acquired, at some stage, when we were infants and solids were the brave new world, as taboo as earwax, or pennies, or confessedly dull table knives.
