July is national ice cream month and we are doing a related series. I grew up in Westchester County in the 1960s through the early 1980s consuming lots of Carvel Ice Cream. But I never knew much about the founder of the company, Greek immigrant Tom Carvel. Born in Athens, Greece 1906, Carvel migrated with his family to New York City in 1910
So how do your adolescents develop healthy relationships with their peers?
Did you grow up eating Carvel ice cream?
June is national candy month. The ingredient of most candies is of course sugar. As a food historian when I think of sugar I think of slavery in places such as Louisiana, Florida, Cuba, and Brazil to name a few regions of the Americas.
