It looks like you are pretty close. I can't remember exactly what this challenge asked for, but the code you have (with an additional space added in where you use the join method on the sundaes list) will format the menu string correctly.

sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavours are: " + ", ".join(sundaes)
