How do you do this?

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

You are close. To create the display_menu, use ", ".join(sundaes). Once you have display_menu, format menu and reassign back to menu: 

menu = menu.format(display_menu)

Post back if you have any questions.

The other missing line is 

display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
