I get why the bread's harder to get, the Arnott family's main business these days is supplying raw materials and equipment to the 'artisan' bakeries that have sprung up in recent years.
But I don't get why the ice cream is no longer made, it seemed to 'go off the shelf' just as quickly as the other Maggie Beer ice creams. Maybe because it was unique, far as I know it was the only commercial Affogato Ice Cream available here. Or maybe the Affogato maker got another job. Or maybe some marketing guru thought it sounded too much like Avocado

Actually, it sounds like lawyer in Italian. :-) What's in the Affogato?
Bakery bread is one of those things that drive me nuts, too. I've developed a way to successfully freeze bakery breads, but it's harder to find good candidates for it in our local stores.
