| A hand dipped ice cream cone, recipes below |
Our ongoing series on ice cream takes us to Baltimore, Maryland
for a look at the history of the Arundel Ice Cream Company. The Arundel Ice
Cream Company started in 1920 in Baltimore with a plant and ice cream store at
683 Washington Blvd. The plant relocated to 300Ba North Smallwood Street in
1931 where it produced both ice cream products and baked goods for its
expanding chain of company owned ice cream stores most of them located within
the city limits. The company gained its greatest notoriety for selling more
“hand-dipped ice cream than any other manufacturer in Maryland” and for its
assortment of flavors included for example Black Walnut. Until the late 1950s
it also gained a reputation among local blacks as a company that practiced
segregation in its eateries. It’s unclear in the written sources if segregation
was a store specific policy or in all of its retail outlets; more on the
history of Arundel Ice Cream Company tomorrow. Below is a great blog on how to
make hand dipped cones and all kinds of great vegan ice cream toppings.

But the parlors were definitely segregated, at least the one we went to at the Northwood Shopping Center, just blocks away from Morgan State. In fact, I recall MSC students picketing the Arundel and other business in the sixties.
