Favorite 'Friends' Food Related Moment?

As in the Seinfeld thread, and because Thanksgiving is coming up and Friends always does an episode dedicated to the holiday, what is your favorite Friends food related moment?

I love when Joey gets his head stuck in the turkey...classic.

How about Phoebe's grandmother's cookie recipe....Neslee Toolhous

Joey - "Joey doesn't share food!"

What a great show.

The food moments don't get any better than this one with Jon Lovitz.  pb

I loved the turkey wrestling incident involving Raymond's wife on Everyone Loves Raymond.

And the candy assembly line on I Love Lucy.

Sorry for the tangent - now back to Friends food.

I've never understood the appeal of "Friends".
Self absorbed indulgent twerps.  Probably never even tried
A McRib.

I can't believe they're all "middle aged" now!
 
wait I just realized, they're all around my age!

Joey - "Joey doesn't share food!"

 
 
The one when he went out on a date with this girl & she tried to snake a few fries & he said this ^^. Then there was only one piece of chocolate cake left. She ordered it then left it there & went to the bathroom.
 
She came back to Joey with the cake gone & his face full of chocolate icing & he says, "You know what? I'm not even sorry!"

Agreed.  Not a funny show.  You could see the jokes coming from a mile away.  Makes "Three's Company" look high-brow.

Or when Chandler gets made that Joey protect Ross when they heard the "gunfire" but he was really just trying to protect his sandwich

Speaking of sandwich, when Monica makes Ross the after Thanksgiving sandwich with the "Moistmaker"!!!

Dr. Leedbetter: I-I'm sorry. I, I-I-I believe I ate that.
Ross: You ate my sandwich?
Dr. Leedbetter: It was a simple mistake. It could happen to anyone.
Ross: (getting upset) Oh-oh really? Did you confuse it with your own turkey sandwich with a Moist Maker?
Dr. Leedbetter: No.
Ross: Do you perhaps seeing a note on top of it?
Dr. Leedbetter: There may have been a-a joke or a limerick of some kind.
Ross: (getting angry) That said it was my sandwich?!
Dr. Leedbetter: Now-now calm down. Come look in my office, some of it my still be in the trash.
Ross: (jumping to his feet in anger) What?
Dr. Leedbetter: Well, it was quite large. I-I-I-I-I had to throw most of it away.
Ross: You-you-you-you (trying to remain in control) threw my sandwich away!

I remember the episode where some cookbook pages stuck together and Rachel wound up creating some kind of trifle/beef hybrid, and the others tried to be polite and eat it.

Brad

Yes, yes.  'It tastes like feet!'

And, 'maple candy!'

Ross: It tastes like feet!
Joey: I like it.
Ross: Are you kidding?
Joey: What’s not to like? Custard? Good. Jam? Good. Meat? Gooooood.

I can honestly say I have never watched a whole episode of either Friends or of Seinfeld. Now, before being labeled an Anti-Humanity Old Fart... I have watched at least twice, every episode of NCIS since it began (that really isn't that hard to do with it playing at least 3 hours a night on one or another of the cable channels).   I detest the new NCIS-LA spin-off. It is a total waste of time in my humble opinion.

Anti-American Old Fart!

See, to me Friends and Seinfeld are very different, although I could see where they'd look alike from the outside.  Friends is a little more pro-humanity.

Rachel's trifle! Joey ate it!
Rachel ends up making a trifle that is half trifle half shepherds pie due to the cook books pages being stuck together. It comprises layers of ladyfingers, jam, custard, raspberries, more ladyfingers, beef sauteed with peas and onions, a little more custard, bananas, then whipped cream.

Didn't this show coin the term 'mockolate' for that unpleasant waxy stuff referred to as chocolaty?

That episode was great. I don't think they coined the term though...I think it was in use prior to that.

Supposedly these were coined by Seinfeld but some of them seem suspect to me:

Cleaner - a person with an extremely voracious appetite who can be depended on to polish off (eat) an enormous amount of unwanted muffin stumps.

Close Talker - one who speaks to a person at point blank range (usually with both peoples' noses less than a foot away from the other).

Double-Dipping - when a person dips a snack chip into a dip, takes a bite, and then dips again with the same bitten chip ("it's like putting your whole mouth right in the dip!!!")

Festivus - a make believe holiday made up by a bitter, bickering head of a family, who uses the holiday as his/her vehicle to attack those (and their employers) close to him

Fudge Distribution - the idea that one should eat a sundae from the bottom up (knowing full well that the fudge drips to the bottom), so that there is an even amount of fudge and ice cream eaten in every bite

Germophobe - a person who is very susceptible to another person's germs, and is very fanatical about it (especially against people who sleep around, rub certain body parts against computer keyboards, or prepare dinner while simultaneously taking a shower)

Home-Bed Advantage - the confident feeling one gets while making love in one's own surroundings

Jerk Store - a phrase that is used as part of a put-down by a naive person who can't think of any better put-downs to use (ex. "The Jerk Store called, and they said that they ran out of you")

Regift - the act of receiving a gift from someone, and then giving it to someone else (as in recycling a gift)

Shmoopie - 1) a term of endearment between a couple that is very annoying to their friends 2) a term of endearment that a man uses on a woman, before he dumps her for the Soup Nazi

Yada, Yada, Yada - 1) what a person might say, mid-sentence, to shorten a story to get to the point of a discussion 2) what a person might say to hide any incriminating activities that they may have been involved in (ex. Yada, Yada, Sex [with someone else] or Yada, Yada, Shoplifting)

They are very different.  Seinfeld was funny and innovative.  Friends was neither.

'Cleaner' is from the movie La Femme Nikita and also its American remake Point of No Return, where a guy comes in, like Newman eating the muffin tops, to clean up a situation.

Listen, 'Friends' wasn't the funniest thing ever made but it was just as funny as 'Seinfeld.'  'Seinfeld' tended to fetishize the age- and crank-related depradations of men of a certain social class, so that's why it has such a rabid and insistent fanbase.  It doesn't mean it's a better show.  I think the funniest thing about 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' is that Larry David's gleefully ripping the curtain off the Wizard to show the actual stuff that got distilled into 'Seinfeld.'  And that truthfully, you wouldn't willingly spend time with these people given a choice.

Friends might be one of the most asinine shows ever produced.

It's not so much that Seinfeld was a better show, it's just that "Friends" wasn't even good.  The only way "Friends" could telegraph their jokes any worse would be if they posted the script before each each episode.
 
Here are some other things that are more entertaining that "Friends":
 
That commercial for hemorrhoids
Test Patterns
Mosquito bites
Cutting someone else's toenails
Whooping Cough
The A Team
Manimal
Curling
Public Service Announcements
Hangnails

I was with you until you threw in "Curling". It's a great game...played for many years before moving to FL.

I'll bet you used up most of your brain cells thinking that up.  Wipe your nose and get back into bed now.

I'm guessing saps must be similar to one of the people whose obnoxiousness got all cuted up for 'Seinfeld.'  It's a whole helluva lot different coming out of Julia Louis-Dreyfus' cute face than Larry David's, that's for sure.
