"I wasn't supposed to put beef in the trifle!". No Rachel, no you were not.

Thanksgiving is a time where families and friends come together to celebrate with good food. But, of course, in the world of comedy sitcoms, it's a perfect storm for disaster and hilarity. That was certainly the case here, as the simple act of making a desert turned into one of the most iconic Friends moments ever.

The episode features a subplot that sees Rachel decide to make an English Trifle for dessert. However, after the pages of the recipe book get stuck together, she puts beef into the sweet dish. Naturally, it ends up being revolting to eat.

This mishap is amusing enough, but watching as everyone attempts to spare her feelings by hiding their disgust will have you in hysterics. The lies they go through, the poor acting and Joey's peculiar love for the failed Trifle is one hell of a Thanksgiving memory.

It does make you wonder what kind of recipe book would put a trifle right next to a Shepard's Pie though.
