If you love the iconic American sitcom ‘Friends,’ chances are you love the humour, dialogues, romance, even the fights, and most importantly, the friendships depicted in the show. Of all the things that give us some of the most iconic and funny scenes, several of them revolve around food. Whether it is spending an entire day to crack a cookie recipe or the moral dilemma of eating a delicious, albeit stolen cheesecake – the show is filled with fun food moments. Here are some of our favourite foods from the show that we would love to eat with our friends.
Here Are 6 ‘friends’ Foods That’ll Leave You Asking, ‘could I Be Any More Full?’:
1. Rachel’s Traditional English Trifle
This has got to be our Number #1 dish, though we know it “tastes like feet.” Rachel’s Traditional English Trifle from the Thanksgiving episode of Season 6 titled ‘The One Where Ross Got High’ (Episode 9) is far from traditional or even trifle. As she works hard to make this dessert on her own with no backup dessert from Monica, she proudly describes the dish to her friends – first, there’s a layer of ladyfingers, then jam, custard, raspberries, more ladyfingers, beef sauteed with peas and onions, more custard, bananas, and whipped cream.
The only way one can enjoy this dish is to be as big a foodie as Joey. While eating the dish, he remarks, “What’s not to like? Custard? Good! Jam? Good! Meat? Good!”
2. Monica’s Candies For Neighbours
It would do us good to be neighbours with the ‘Candy Lady’ aka Monica Geller. It is in Season 7 in the episode titled ‘The One With All The Candy’ (Episode 9) that Monica decides to make candy for the neighbours to get to know them better. We would love to try them as a neighbour called them “little drops of heaven.” Of course, we will ask the Candy Lady’s name first!

3. Ross’s Salt Water Taffy
Mona gets Salt Water Taffy for Ross, and that gives Ross another excuse to share “fun” facts about the candy. He shares, “Most people think this is made with seawater, but it’s actually made with salted fresh water. That’s not interesting.” Later, Phoebe tries the taffy for the first time, and her reaction is priceless – “What the mother of *** is up with this stuff? Is it gum, is it food, what’s the deal?… Oh, it’s nice.” (S8 E15)

4. Joey’s Meatball Sub
Joey is undoubtedly the biggest foodie of all, and there are many episodes to prove it. One of the iconic episodes is when the boys are patrolling with Phoebe’s officer boyfriend Gary, and a car backfires, but everyone thinks it is the sound of a gunshot. Joey jumps to ‘save’ his sandwich, which everyone assumes was a heroic feat to save Ross. Now that is some delicious sandwich we would love to try! (S5 E20)
5. Chandler And Rachel’s Cheesecake
The crumbly, delicious, melt-in-mouth cheesecake from ‘Mama’s Little Bakery’ in Chicago, Illinois, is another delicious food from the show we would love to try, even if we have to take it from the outside door neighbour’s apartment, fight with our friend for our share, or eat it off the floor – just like Chandler and Rachel.

6. Phoebe’s Grandmother’s Chocolate Chip Cookie
The Chocolate Chip Cookie from Phoebe’s grandmother’s recipe is another delicious sweet treat on our list. To recreate the recipe, Monica ends up making multiple batches of cookies, one of which makes Ross really sick. In the end, it turns out it’s a Nestle Toll House Cookie recipe, the packet of which was present in Monica’s cupboard, and the recipe wasn’t that unique!
