Getting struck with the string declaration

I was declaring the string correctly in the quiz. It tells that it wasn't declared properly ??

menu = "Our available flavour are: {}."

where I'm going wrong. I used in the workspace, it works fine, But in the quiz it's not executing

banana.py 
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"

sundaes = available.split(";")

menu = "Our available flavours are: {}."

There's nothing wrong with your syntax, the quiz is just looking for very specific spelling ("flavors" instead of "flavours")

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
