What's the solution for the 2nd part of this challenge?

I can't figure out how to answer the 2nd part of this challenge. I would like to know how to nest .join and .format in the menu variable to solve for this challenge. How should I approach this?

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

You have got the syntax wrong for join .Try this code :

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