I don't know what I'm missing here

I'm getting an error: Your 'menu' variable isn't right

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

sundaes = available.split(';')

menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".join(sundaes)

first you have to use .format() and in the parenthesis you can use the .join() method. Here is my code.

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

Why is the lesson completed when you`re missing the new variable: available_flavors?

what happened to the variable display_menu in task 3

you could create the variable display_menu or you could do it on one line. They give you the option.
