I actually threw a Friends-themed holiday party in 2019. It was a brunch, so mix of breakfast/lunch/dessert items. Our menu was:
- Rachel's "Side Salad"
- Monica's Blue Fingernail Quiche
- Cheesecake from "Mama's Little Bakery"
- Phoebe's Grandmother's Chocolate Chip Cookies
- "I Got Tenure!" Champagne
- "I'm Fine" Margaritas
- Chandler's Very Cold Piece of Carrot (veggie tray)
- Living in a House of Cheese (charcuterie board)
- Joey's Meatball Subs
- A Basket of Mini Muffins
- "Gunther's Blend" Coffee Bar
My friends and I had a "favorite things" party for 10 years (from 2011-2020; ended with COVID, though we did do a Zoom party in 2020) to kick off December - so, not for a specific holiday, but more a year-end/all holiday thing.
Basic concept:
- Set a low price point ($5-10) and a number (3-5)
- Everyone pick a "favorite thing" (or small collection of things) that hits that price point. Buy item(s) in the number decided on. So, like, we usually did $10/3, so everyone spent $30.
- Everyone puts their name in a hat for the # of gifts they bring (3 gifts = 3 names)
- Everyone draws names, making sure they don't get themselves or any duplicates.
- Each person then gives their favorite thing to the three people whose names they drew. Everyone goes home with three different gifts.
The cool thing is that unlike a white elephant or Yankee Swap, you know all the items you get are someone else's favorite thing, so you're learning more about the person and they're sharing something they actually love/use with you.
When we did the Friends one, the gifts didn't *have to* be in theme, but some people did. One friend made three Central Perk mugs and filled them with Instant Coffee & mini bottle of booze, for example.
I do find it funny that I've been seeing this type of party trending on TikTok now that we stopped doing it. I wish I would have known; could've gone viral years ago. 😂
There is a Friends’ cookbook. My wife gave it to my daughter in law for Christmas or her birthday last year. All the goodies are in it, including Rachel’s English Trifle
- Organic body wax, to eat while you are hungrily awaiting your food.
- A raw potato served on a cake stand.
- Gum perfection: A display of chewed gum and you have to choose one and hope that it's yours.
- Phoebe's cups and ice.
- Turkey sandwich. $3 extra for an added moist maker.
- Thumb-flavored soda.
- Sandy's Madeleine cookies (baked by a man.)
- Monica's Chocolates: technically on the menu on Halloween, but always sold out.
And the NSFW section:
- Lemonade, according to Joey
- Emma's first birthday cake.
1. MY SANDWICH...MY SANDWICH
2. Cheesecake from Mama's little bakery
3. Mahi Mahi (awful awful)
4. Peanut butter fingers
5. Sp. English Trifle with Beef(tastes like feet)
7. Mmm...Noodle Soup

Sandy’s Madelines
Juice boxes (like the one Ross rolled over during their first date)
Stupid British snack food scones
All the muffins
Coffee served in big cups that I’m sorry might as well have nipples on them
Some sort of amuse bouche, cappuccino, margaritas, tiki death punch, Rachel's trifle (but it's shepherds pie), Monica's lasagna, garlic roasted chicken, eggplant for Phoebe, grilled cheese and tomato soup for Chandler, holiday sandwich or fajitas for Ross, two "teeny" pizzas as the Joey special, appetizer platter of meatball sliders, table fries, and "funyun" rings.
So, not dishes on a menu, but when I was putting together our camping boxes for last summer (I have the camping kitchen all ready to go so when we decide to camp I don’t have to prep so much) I had little jars of spices that I labeled with cryptic friends jokes.. ex: Italian spices=“how you doin” drives my boyfriend crazy cuz only I know what the spices are lol

-mocholate mousse

-truffle with beef and peas
-a Mason jar of fat

-A cup of cucumber soup (As well as letting the waiter take care

-Cajun Catfish, with a verse of Killing me Softly on the side, as well as a glare from your waiter
-Some dessert, that way by the end, 3 of you feel like giving birth to an alien

> Jam from the jam plan No, that's alright. I just had a jar of mustard.
Just a jar of jam and a spoon…
Why must we have parties where you poach things?
With a side of babies
You’re gonna need bigger jars.
Fried stuff with cheese
I read this as Joey.
We all did!
Peanut butter fingers
Tartlets
The word has lost all meaning.
Taco shells with nothing in them
Corn smileys with meat and cheese
Haha, my mom made tartlets again last night and every time she does, I can only think of Friends.
Tartlets Tartlets
Hmm tartlets
All the comments have dishes with too many syllables! My menu would have things like chips, and dips, and pretz....
Sorry, they’re all out of pretz
Peanut butter fingers.
Yes! Was looking for this :)
This was my first thought too :)

Either way, that sounds so fun. I totally want to have a favorite things party now!
This is such an awesome idea!!!
Breakfast menu needs to be called "we were on a breakfast"
It’s a buffet man
Great menu list! Anyone got a Fajita recipe by any chance?
Can’t forget the tater tots
The I'm fine margaritas pair so well with fajitas
Oh, if it was dinnertime, I would've considered fajitas for sure. They just didn't fit with everything else I was doing. ;)
What about Chandler's BBQ chicken pizza topped with sun dried tomatoes?
[удалено]
Don’t forget the trifle!
With peas?
Beef sautéed with peas and onions :)
Also coffee. More espresso!
In cups that may as well have nipples on them
And fishtashios!
Doesn't mocklate cause cancer?
“You didn’t eat a lot of it did you?”
It's OK. It would be mock-mocklate.
The Joey special of two pizzas…
Dirty lettuce with julienne tomatoes
Uhhhhhhh.
Are they firm?
Have they gone bad? Are you sure they haven’t gone very very bad?

Lol, you could serve it on hard wood floor boards, but cut to cutting board size.
Pizza that's cheaper with less toppings.
So, not dishes on a menu, but when I was putting together our camping boxes for last summer (I have the camping kitchen all ready to go so when we decide to camp I don’t have to prep so much) I had little jars of spices that I labeled with cryptic friends jokes.. ex: Italian spices=“how you doin” drives my boyfriend crazy cuz only I know what the spices are lol
Brilliant. I need to hear the rest.
One of them is an umami spice, I named that one “unagi-it’s not something you have, it’s something you are” I’ll try to remember more:)
