What Goes into a Banana Split?

A banana split is traditionally served in a boat, a long dish specifically designed for the purpose. A banana is sliced lengthwise and topped with scoops of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream. The ice cream is covered with strawberry and pineapple toppings, whipped cream, crushed nuts, and Maraschino cherries. The banana split has evolved over the years, and many variations exist today, but the basic idea is always the same.

When Was the Banana Split Invented?

The banana split was invented by an apprentice pharmacist at a pharmacy in Latrobe, Pennsylvania in 1904. It quickly caught on with the locals, even though it cost twice as much as all of the other sundaes on the menu. The town of Labrobe celebrates the banana split with an annual festival held each August. The banana split has even been honored with a postage stamp.
