To mark the anniversary of the series finale of Friends airing on May 6th, 2004, Deliveroo is giving fans the chance to relive the past by serving Rachel's trifle.
In one of the show's Thanksgiving episodes, Rachel Green intends to make an elaborately layered sweet dessert, but ends up creating an infamous savory dish after the pages of a cookbook become stuck together. True to the recipe that was made in the show, the recreated dessert features ladyfingers, a layer of jam, custard, raspberries, bananas—as well as sautéed beef with peas and onions.
The unconventional dish is being served at Deliveroo's Regina Phalange pop-up for a limited time, with a vegetarian option available that swaps the beef out for tofu so that all fans may try this sweet and savory dinner-dessert concoction.
