Today, August 25, 2014, is National Banana Split Day. In its classic form, a Banana Split is served in a long dish. A banana is cut in half lengthwise and laid in the dish. The classic banana split is made with scoops of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream served in a row between the split banana. In no particular order, pineapple, strawberry and chocolate sauces are spooned over the strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream. It is garnished with crushed nuts, whipped cream, & maraschino cherry
