The Full Story Behind 'Friends’' Thanksgiving Trifle Scene, And What Matt Leblanc Ate Was Much More Disgusting Than Meat And Custard

It’s pretty amazing to me that after 30 years of being obsessed with "Friends," there continue to be bits of trivia and behind-the-scenes antics I haven’t heard. As one of the best sitcoms of all time, "Friends" delivered hundreds of laughs over the course of a decade, but the stories behind many of those scenes are often just as hilarious. Take “The One Where Ross Got High.” I just learned the full story behind the filming of that Thanksgiving trifle scene, and what Matt LeBlanc actually ate was so much worse than Rachel’s dessert.

Joey Tribbiani said some funny things about food during the NBC sitcom’s run, but one of the most memorable scenes came in Season 6, when Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) accidentally combined two recipes to make a dessert that was half English trifle, half Shepherd’s pie. Matt LeBlanc once talked about that scene in an interview on "The Graham Norton Show," setting up the scene where the gang is trying not to let Rachel know she messed up the dessert.
