Tuesday March 9, 1668 — Sam Pepys, somewhat apprehensively, downs a pint of orange juice for the first time at his cousin Stradwick's house.
"And here, which I never did before, I drank a glass, of a pint, I believe, at one draught, of the juice of oranges, of whose peel they make comfits; and here they drink the juice as wine, with sugar, and it is very fine drink; but, it being new, I was doubtful whether it might not do me hurt."
He ought to have started with the marmalade. Entry level. Or stuck to the vino tinto.
