Max Stanford’s YouTube channel Max vs Food is followed by more than 2000 subscribers. He regularly posts food challenges videos on his channel. In the sixth season of Friends Rachel Greene was shown misreading a recipe while making a trifle which included a layer of beef sauteed with peas and onion. Although it was a huge blunder to make on the Thanksgiving Day the trifle with beef got quite famous and is iconic.
Max said that he was a huge fan of Friends. It was his favorite show while growing up and the Thanksgiving episode where Rachel ruins the trifle was one of his favorite episodes. Max was married to an American and had a lot of American friends. So he has been celebrating Thanksgiving for many years now. Recently he was re-watching this episode and an idea sparked to him to recreate the trifle and supersize it.
Max agreed that the idea of making a beef trifle that to huge in size was a gross idea. He thought that the trifle would not taste that bad but he was terribly wrong. He said in his video that just a bit of minced beef peas and onions were not a bad combination but having to eat it in a large quantity made it difficult.
Max shared in his video the flavors he could taste while eating. He said that the flavor of the trifle mingled with the custard early and having to eat a spoonful did not look bad. The problem aroused when his mouth was full and he realized the amount of beef it had in it. Even though the trifle was in a large quantity Max managed to eat it and complete the challenge in just 16 minutes. Initially Max thought that it would take him around 30 minutes or more to finish it but he was quite impressed with himself for eating it in just 16 minutes.
Max also shared in his video about how he prepared the trifle and got himself prepped up to eat it. He was nervous throughout because he wanted to get the recipe exactly right from the episode and eating it and finishing it was another task he had to do. He said that he originally didn’t plan to make it this big. The beef was present in all the layers to the bottom of the trifle which later got stuck in his teeth.
In the video he showed how he managed to prepare the mega dish entirely by himself. He said that he topped it with whipped cream as per the recipe and sprayed a can of cream on top of it to add more calories. It took him an hour to prepare the beef trifle for the video and major preparation time was taken in cooking the minced beef earlier.
Max got nostalgia remembering how Joey made sure that Rachel does not get to know that she messed up the trifle and enjoyed eating it while others at the table were disgusted. Chandler and Joey were Max’s favorite characters from the show. Max is now opened to trying more of pop culture recipes and other cinematic classics. This challenge was unique to him and asked his followers to suggest more such famous recipes from movies and TV shows for him to try.
